    Hi all, I'm a total Linux newbie so I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I bought my Aspire One in the UK and it has the time displayed in 24 hour format, whereas I'd prefer it in 12 hr format (ie 10:00 PM rather than 22:00). How do I change this?

    Double-click on the clock on the panel and then change the format from there.

    Cheers.

    Sorry, do you mean the clock in the taskbar? I double click on it and don't get any response. Is there another clock I should be clicking on?
    Thanks for your help.

    Yes the clock on the "taskbar".

    Cheers.

    Is there another way to do this? When I double click the clock I get no response. When I hover over it I get the date, but double clicking does nothing.
    Thanks.
