date format in WM5 - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi all. I suppose this may be a WM5 regional setting issue but I searched all over with no luck. I want to change the format of the Date item in the Today screen. Currently it displays the date with a line feed (wrap) between the day name and the date, and it has the current time right-aligned on the same line. I don't want the time shown here - it's already on the top bar. I only want the date (and possibly a slight larger font size) here with no wrapping. Is there a hack for this, or do I need to get a additional Today plugin for this?

this is the thread for a TodayTimeCab plug-in that can replace the default date/time display, where you can opt not to show the time (can also select the font size).

thanks raymonds!

no problem.

Can't change time display format.

Hello,
I have an Imate JAMin. I'm not able to change the time display format from 24hr to 12 hr. I've already changed the Regional Settings from UK to US yet everything changes (date, number format, etc.) except for the time format. Obviously all my appointments are showing in the 24hr format which I'm not used to. Please help.
Time Style
Settings>System>Regional Settings>Time>Time Style>h:mm:ss tt
The drop down menu for Time Style has several options not just the ones shown. Scroll up in the menu and find h:mm:ss tt. Thats the one you want.
Thanks
Yeap! That solved it. I didn't realized I had different options as I scrolled up and down.
Thanks!

Date on today screen

I have an O2 XDA exec loaded with the corporate option. On my today settings screen i can select "Date" which allows the date and time to show on my today screen. For all the other today items I can move them up or down in their position on the today screen. The date option will not let you move it (it is locked?). It remains the topmost item. Since this is a position I wish another item to take does anyone know a way to dsable the lock to allow it to be moved down the screen?
thx
You cannot unlock that. But if you use LVMTime wich is a plug today that do the same and much than the original one, you'll be able to move it in the order position you want.
Perfect!
Thanks Bonisalive,
I was using RLCalendar but your suggestion works much better and a very small footprint.
Scott
Another one smaller
If you search a usefull app, you can also have a look on http://www.matepsoft.pt todaytime plugin. Much simpler, but smaller on screen...

tdClock tweaking

Hi everyone
this is a digital clock (& date) plugin for today screen that i found on this website:
http://www.nakka.com/soft/ptools/index_eng.html
I changed the background to black & the numbers to white & i use it now like the iphone on top of my today screen
its nice & small in size.. you can also customize the location, font size, and colors
the date is cousomizable (by prog options & through registry) but the problem is that the clock is only 24 hour format
i was hoping that someone here can look and try to get it to do 12 hour format (9:00 pm instead of 21:00)
if you can tweak to make that adjustable though its own options that would be great (eg. 09:00 - 9:00 - 9:00 pm ..etc) but even a registry tweak would be great for now as i hate the 24 hour format
2 files attached (installation & source)
thanks
iPhone look alike today clock & date
No programers here that can look at the source & develop a new CAB that makes the clock in 12 hour format???
I am disappointed... over 170 people looked but no responses...
this clock sets at the top of my today screen & it shows the date too...the font size is nice & it looks like iPhone or Slide2Unlock size & look after i changed it & reversed the colors
its very small in size & if you use the navigation it will jump over it to the next lower today plugin, which means that you get to the important items that you want to click
please can someone figure how to customize to 12 hour format?????
it seems thats the only thing missing now & with the source & original CAB provided i thought it would be easy for Xda-pros
Thanks
Have you looked at "rlToday"? it does the samething
smaller & centered
i checked rlToday
i still think tdClock is smaller in size & better ceneterd in the screen specially when the hour changes from 9:00 to 10:00 for example with an added digit (always centered)
if someone can just figure out how to do 12 hour format
Thanks

the original site (in Russian) >> http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=27712&st=0
the formats of Time and Date are 100% customiz-able!
detail discussion (in Chinese) >> http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=129&t=413779&last=3911609
by the way, the font size, position and even the font itself can be customized.
how to do: (take the attached screenshot as an example
1. install the cab
2. tap the time/date display on the screen >> tap Settings
Settings page
3. set the format of date to : dddd. dd. MM. yyyy (means weekday, date, month, and year)
4. set the format of time to : h:mm:ss tt (means hour(12hr), minute, second, and am/pm)
5. set the height of module to : 55 (to layout the module's height)
6. set both left space and right space to : 10
7. click "show icon clock"
Font page
8. choose whatever font you like, Tahoma in my case (you can change it to your content by copying new fonts to the windows font folder)
9. set the height of date: 11
10. height of time: 25
11. Vertical align (date) to "top"
12 Vertical align (time) to "Bottom"
13. Bold to "Black"
Colors page
14. tap text and background color and choose whatever colors you like
Note: "/", ",", "-"or whatever can be added to the format of time and date to seperate items. however, "\" means word wrapping. it is used only if you want to wrap the format of time or date to two or more lines.

WOOT! Thank you so much for this little gem, just what the wife was bugging me about, a clock with seconds!!! I even went so far as to make it into an OEM package for cooking, pls find attached.
Ok, I've tried BUT
Can't get the line wrap to work.
Where does the \ go?
ALso, is this the latest version? I can see mention of AlDate 1.12 on the web but can't read Russian or Chinese ;-)
WordWrap
well actually its \n that is used, normal imbeded notation
so this "ddd,\nMMM dd" would display as this
Wednesday,
Oct 24
Hope this helps.
That's fine but
Ah, I see. the example above works as well for putting the clock underneath the date.
thanks a lot
Thanks... & Font Request
Thanks alot for the great program
this one does exactly what i want
i no longer use the rlCalender
& started to use this one
i am able to place clock & date in middle of today screen and adjust size & color
Does anyone have the font used in Silde2Unlock clock? its similar to iphone, i think its Arial???

How did you make the morning/afternoon show as AM or PM all mine does is a.m. or p.m.? It takes up much more room and I want my font as large as possible.
I have tried various combinations of the time format - tt, t, TT, T, but they don’t work. Am I just being to blind to see something really obvious?
New Version
Hi all
i found a newer version of AlDate
its 1.0.9
the old one posted earlier was 1.0.8
they look exactly the same even the option menu
but what i noticed it better start after soft resets
even if you unistall the older version, once you install the new one the setting stay there from before so you dont have to start all over again
cheers

Why cant the date follow my "Regional Settings"?
Why is the "Humidity" and "Wind" condition not displayed?
I find the display from the previous version better with more info.
And any chance of having the temperature in C instead of in F? Yes I can change to C but the value is still in F!
What's this for:

what is this theme for?
I got it to work, me stupid.
1. I forgot to put %20 for spaces on the ini.
2. I had to add back the plugin order back on the sliding panel.cpr file (organics doesn't use that). For some reason this one needs it.
3. I am creating a cab file, it should be done tonight, just need to verify the updates, need to add in the reg settings for the CWeather, and the Sliding Panel, everything else looks great.
This is a major improvement over the last one. I do miss Wind Speed/Humidity, but I might play with the Ini file to see if that would work.
Also it gives more then one page worth of info, with icons on all the pages.

@xfaith
see my pm on humidity and wind.
Why cant the date follow my Regional Settings?
What is this for? how is it implemented?
Nice, but did not see any Current Temp display? a must have for me...
I dont think I'll be having this installed for long unless the date format is according to my Regional Settings and the readings is in Celcius.
Thanks
Edit
After fiddling with the ini files and understanding it better, I find this apps suites my requirement perfectly. Its light weight and user configureable to choose which weather report provider. Update times are also very flexible.
So MiniWeather stays on my device.
Thanks
Display "Current" & "Forecast" conditions
How do I get both the "Current" & the "Forecast" conditions be displayed like the previous version?
How to convert to and display in Celsius?
<current_conditions>
<condition data="Haze"/>
<temp_f data="86"/>
<temp_c data="30"/>
<humidity data="Humidity: 49%"/>
<icon data="/images/weather/haze.gif"/>
<wind_condition data="Wind: mph"/>
</current_conditions>
-
<forecast_conditions>
<day_of_week data="Today"/>
<low data="77"/>
<high data="89"/>
<icon data="/images/weather/chance_of_storm.gif"/>
<condition data="Chance of Storm"/>
</forecast_conditions>
Edit
I managed to get the Current and day forecast displayed except that the time is not correctly displayed:
Currently 9:0
when it should be:
Currently 09:00
Thanks
Currently I am using one of the following url to sync my device time. It would be great if you can incorporate this too:
0.fr.pool.ntp.org
1.fr.pool.ntp.org
2.fr.pool.ntp.org
Can you explain more on the offset values. How do you determine the offset position and numbers?
Thanks
MiniWeather on CClock
Please tell how do you put the MiniWeather on the CClock slide??

Registry set date format cause Sense calendar go crazy

I searched this forum but could not find the answer.
I tried to manually set the short date format in the registry
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides)
from "SSDte"=MM/dd/yyyy
To "SSDte"=dd/MM/yyyy
It seems that it caused the dates to display as requested in most apps,
BUT -
The HTC calendar display went CRAZY !!
(I think with the notifications queue went crazy too, but that might have been just a coincedense
When "Agenda" was selected It didnt display the correct day range,
for repeated entries it started to display as multiday,
and in general - totaly failed.
When I changed to a region where dd/MM/yyyy was available,
the calendar performed just fine when set to dd/mm/yyyy.
Any Ideas ?
Another thing (though less important): I tried the reg tweak
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
TBOpt=3
(show date and time in the taskbar)
But the task manager icon covers part of the date,
so my question is -
is there a way to shift this date/time display a few pixels to the left ?
(So the display area would not overlap?)
