Description Pascal d'Hermilly 2016-05-09 07:04:43 UTC

The "short date" option for displaying dates by the clock in the panel is the same lenght as ISO.
It would be really nice to have a basics date. For example it writes out the year which is unnecessary for most and it prepends month and day with zeros if below 10.
Having an option with a 3-letter month and a date without zeros prepended would be perfect.
E.g. "Sep 4" or "15 Jan"

Reproducible: Always

I can confirm this. In my setup:
ISO:     2016-08-04
Short: 04/08/2016

My short date now is:
7/8/16

Is no the same length as the ISO Date or format.

Marking this as duplicate of the other bug which is about providing more/better date formats for the clock, close enough I'd say :)
