Change time format w/terminal

[DapperMe17]

I'd like to know how to change the system time to use a "custom" format.

I use 12 hour with am/pm, however, between 12am and 1am, the hour indicator shows "0" instead of "12".

I believe this is the correct format....%l:%M %p

How would I change to that in terminal?

You shouldn't need to use terminal, just rt. click on clock and in properties put the format you want.....

Codes;
%% a literal %
%a locale's abbreviated weekday name (e.g., Sun)
%A locale's full weekday name (e.g., Sunday)
%b locale's abbreviated month name (e.g., Jan)
%B locale's full month name (e.g., January)
%c locale's date and time (e.g., Thu Mar 3 23:05:25 2005)
%C century; like %Y, except omit last two digits (e.g., 21)
%d day of month (e.g, 01)
%D date; same as %m/%d/%y
%e day of month, space padded; same as %_d
%F full date; same as %Y-%m-%d
%g last two digits of year of ISO week number (see %G)
%G year of ISO week number (see %V); normally useful only with %V
%h same as %b
%H hour (00..23)
%I hour (01..12)
%j day of year (001..366)
%k hour ( 0..23)
%l hour ( 1..12)
%m month (01..12)
%M minute (00..59)
%n a newline
%p locale's equivalent of either AM or PM; blank if not known
%P like %p, but lower case
%r locale's 12-hour clock time (e.g., 11:11:04 PM)
%R 24-hour hour and minute; same as %H:%M
%s seconds since 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC
%S second (00..60)
%t a tab
%T time; same as %H:%M:%S
%u day of week (1..7); 1 is Monday
%U week number of year, with Sunday as first day of week (00..53)
%V ISO week number, with Monday as first day of week (01..53)
%w day of week (0..6); 0 is Sunday
%W week number of year, with Monday as first day of week (00..53)
%x locale's date representation (e.g., 12/31/99)
%X locale's time representation (e.g., 23:13:48)
%y last two digits of year (00..99)
%Y year
%z +hhmm numeric timezone (e.g., -0400)
%Z alphabetic time zone abbreviation (e.g., EDT)

As an example, I entered this for my Custom clock format.

%l:%M %p

That's a lower case "L" not a capital "i". The resulting time display looks like this.

8:44 PM

Ok, that worked just fine. I had to switch back to "digital" to see the actual time format options.

Thanks!

Mike555,

I spoke too quickly.

For some reason, "LCD" mode is the only mode that isn't allowing "12"am...it's still showing "0"am, after the time format change.
