How can I show AM and PM on clock?

As the title states: How can I show the AM or PM indicator on the clock? I tried editing the registry, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

Use PHM
That will do the trick

Yes, I already tried editing the registry using PHM Registry Editor. That did not work.
I went to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides then I change the registry to "h:mm tt" as I said did not worked.
Ohhhh, I forgot to mention I am showing both date and time at the same time in the upper right hand corner of the screen and not just the time alone.

Hi cktlcmd,
Have you considered WisBar Advanced 2? It handles the clock issue very well and it does a LOT of other useful things, as well.

I read that Wisbar causes slow downs on the Universal, is this true?

You can just go to settings -> System -> Regional Settings -> Time instead of setting in registry.
However the AM/PM doesn't show up in the title bar. It will only show up in other applications or when you tap the time.
Never noticed, but I tried it on mine. (I use the 24 hour clock anyway) The am/pm doesn't come up.
How did you get the date in there?

Wisbar has become faster and faster with every new beta. A new full version (2.5) should be released in a week or so. Version 2.4.20 (beta) has treated me very well in the speed department.

I used SPB Pocket Tips and Tricks. I am pretty sure you can also do it via the registry, but using SPB is a lot faster.

Thanks for this tip. I might wait for the full version to be released though. Right now, I have the perfect settings and programs installed, that I don't want to mess things up nor slow things down. My EXEC runs fast with my current settings.

Did you try this registry tweak:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]
Create String: S1159 Value = Am
Create String: S2359 Value = Pm
Create String: STFmt Value = h:mm tM

Schap tweak

I just got my HD and is brilliant !
Does anyone know if we can use Schap`s tweak on the HD ?

First thing I installed after Net3.5, runs all ok without any problems so it seems.
Have set all the tweaks I'd done for the Diamond and it restarted fine, also changed the icons to 4 across and that's fine too..
Schaps 3.3 I installed.

ooh can we see a screenshot of the 4 column version of programs on the HD? You would probably hardly need to scroll as everything would be on one page.

Aye, I'll upload when I get home

Here's a screen shot - I use the cab file to make this change though not the Config tools

Which cab file did you use - pls post it ...!
THANK you

If you have a registry editor you can also add the settings yourself:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\
Add New Key “IconConfig”
In there Add DWORD Value:
“HorizontalIconSpacing” Dec value=”112″
“VerticalIconSpacing” Dec value=”115″
“IconTitleFontSize” Dec value=”6″
then softreset - voila!

You can use Schaps too to do the change, the settings are under the user settings at the top. Just change the values to the ones above..

Just tried it with Schaps ACTool and it workedd perfectly
Thanks to Trixster101 for the hint!

Good tweak. Thanks for the tip.
Has anyone tried to put 5 icons per row? If so, what should be the values of those registry?
Edit: yes. I now have six icons per row.
I have horizontal spacing : 75
Vertical spacing :115
Icon size:5

I use the Advanced Config v3.3 and its wonderful . I have managed to set my opening animated gif from HTC to my own ones and with my own WAV audio file and to rename my Bluetooth name to what I want... That tool is epic and very easy to use.
As it warns tho, be careful because improper use can much up your phone. Im very happy with my new customisations.

Menu Font Size changeable?

Hi - just have my HD for one day now and already get SOOOOO annoyed by the ridiculously large MENUE FONTS... you even have to scroll vertically sometimes to see all entries - WHY do fonts have to be 24pt on a mobile device? Perhaps this is only with the GERman ROM...?
Does some kind soul know if the HD's registry has entries for downsizinbg the fonts?
THX, LeDuc

Yes you can with Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3.

You can use Schap's Advanced Configuration Tools (Search) or you can go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\gwe\menu\popfnt
and change the value for the "Ht" entry to "1000" decimal (from 1200).
Works for me anyway...

If I'm not mistaken, this value is usually set to 800.
Anyway,play around with 800, 900, and 1000 and see which suits your personal preference. It may depend on the size of your fingers and application. Only some applications's menu are long enough to require scrolling which I too found annoying.

menu fonts
THX to all - problem solved!

I changed them from 1200 to 900 but it seems nothing has changed (also after a softreset). Could you exactly explain which fonts should be affected by this modification?
Thanks!
Ascenca

what I did
...don't know who is meant by 'you exactly', but what I did was change this popfnt's Ht=800 and Wt=500, softreset ... and BEAUTIFUL small and thin menu fonts! Now..if someone could point me to an entry where I could read a bit more about all these GWE settings ?!? THX

Ok figured it out by myself Didnt look close enough
Thanks for the hint, now the menu is really tiny.

Clear Type in Landscape enabled

Just found this and it works (by playing with the registry)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings
Change OffOnRotation value to 0
soft reset
you need a registry editor to get this done, I used Resco Registry Editor

might be a bit of a noob question, but what does cleartype look like?
a screenie would do justice

its the smoothing of the fonts so they wont look rough on the edges, you can see the difference in portrait mode
Start>System>Screen>Cleartype , if the box is checked uncheck it to see how distorted the edges of the fonts look, if not, enable it to see how smooth they look

Any one check this solution?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings
Change OffOnRotation value to 0
the default is 1, meaning the cleartype is off by default on rotation, simply changeit to 0
only those with the knowledge of binary would know this would fix the clear type on landscape. its not that hard to understand either, its just simple common sense by reading and understanding for those who speak english lol

screenies here for proof

you can do the same thing with Advanced Config

okkk, never heard of that, i will check it out asap, thanks for the tip

ahh, looking good =].
Thanks spikegotti!

WTF, I thought clear type works for both portrait and landscape... WTF was MS thinking? It's like offering an option to give you a prosthetic hands with no fingers.

awesome, thanks for this! i didnt even notice it got disabled till yesterday.

Nice one... thanks

thanks for the tip, didn't realize it

what does HTC_TouchScreen_v2.cab does?

can someone pls kindly share??? if possible will like to edit the reg myself.

anyone knows?

The cab basically make the screen slightly less sensitive. Install it and test it. If you don't like can just uninstall it. I took about 4-5 days to get used to input with my fingers. Now I' d say I am pretty good at it. Those who had used the iphone before will find it easier to adapt to the capacitative screen

Yes, but these parametrs I have changed to 0x32.

"FingerThreshold"=dword:00000028 -> 0x32
"FingerupThreshold"=dword:00000028 -> 0x32
With useful tweak n.44 from tboy, I got normal result. That is tweak
44. Prevent Accidental Link Activation When Scrolling
Do you scroll and find you accidentally click on something? This tweak is for you.
HKLM/System/GWE/Touch/Filter/Minimumtaptime
Change from 0 to 30
.

i am having problems still after installing.. my rom is 1.48 stock.. how do i make it even less sensitive

anyone know the value to change?
