This seems worth considering You don't need to change the entire locale to change your time formatting systemwide; you can change just the time formatting in System Settings > Region & Language > Time > Modify. Is there a reason why that doesn't work for you? 🐛🧹 ⚠️ This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information, then set the bug status to REPORTED. If there is no change for at least 30 days, it will be automatically closed as RESOLVED WORKSFORME. For more information about our bug triaging procedures, please read https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone! I confirmed on two systems that setting the time locale to "C" allows me to have 24h time on the lock screen, with no side-effects. Mae, would this work for you?

Unfortunately this is not a great solution for me. The reason being: I want US-style dates (mm/dd/yyyy) since I'm used to them and 24 hour clock and none of the included locales I can find support this. Basically you'll have to find a locale that uses both American-style dates as well as 24-hour time. If none exists, then I'm afraid you're out of luck, because it isn't maintainable for us to add time formatting customization to every single click on the system… at least until we implement Bug 340982. Marking as a duplicate of that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 340982 *** |
Created attachment 183819 [details] Clock widget settings SUMMARY I would like to be able to set the lockscreen clock to 24 hour without changing my locale. I'm an American who, unlike other Americans, uses 24 hour clock on all my devices. The desktop clock widget allows the user to easily change to a 24 hour clock without changing the locale, but if there is a way on the lock screen I haven't found it yet. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open lock screen settings 2. Try to set 24 hour clock time display OBSERVED RESULT No setting exists. EXPECTED RESULT Setting exists that allows the user to switch to 24 hour clock time display.
