Time on basichome screen overlaps background (1 Viewer)

[Yossarian_nz]

Hey guys, kudos to you for a great skin!

I've just got one little issue: The displayed time on the clock in the top right corner seems to overlap the box on which it is overlaid (see picture). This seems to be because I have extra periods in the time, i.e 10:47 A.M. and not 10:47 AM as I've seen in some screenshots.


What I'd like to do is either: remove the extraneous periods, or change to 24-hour time (so the trailing A.M. or P.M. are removed)

Any ideas? Thanks!

No one has an idea?

How does everyone else not have this issue? As far as I can tell, everything is default.

Not really sure, but you can try this, based on XP, but similar should be possible in Vista/7:

• Control Panel
• Regional And Language Options
• Customize
• Select Time tab
• Change the AM and PM symbol to be without the extra dots

Thanks man, that did it!

Turns out that setting the language to NZ english in a windows install includes having the periods in A.M. Who knew?


Cheers again, that was driving me nuts!
