      Hi Everyone,

      Where do I configure the time format on the icewm taskbar? I tried changing TimeFormat in the preferences file, but nothing happened. Also, when I right click the time in the lower hand corner to change the format, it does not stick. It resets back to “Default” when I restart the session.

      Sincerely,
      Lars.

        Thanks, I figured this out. TimeFormat in the preferences file did work after all.

          Yes, you need to restart IceWM after you save your changes to ~/.icewm/preferences

            I get asked a lot,
            TimeFormat=”%a %d/%m %H:%M” gives Weekday name in short form, date/month minutes:hour as used in much of europe

            This needs adding as not a complete prepared option

            Just doing –icewm restart in the shell will not show time in new format after change.
