Hello,

I think it depends of your local (the $LANG variable: $ echo $LANG).
I don't know if it's the good solution because with the FR language I can't show this AM/PM indicator but we don't use it here...

Ok but can you try to enable/disable this option: Display the time in a 24h format?

Funny, I have the opposite request.
http://www.glx-dock.org/bg_topic.php?t=5163

Isn't it possible to format the clock string to show/hide AM/PM in 12-hour format?
clock format clockValue ?-format string? ?-gmt boolean?

Of course it's possible but I don't know if it's better to display the clock string depending of some options or of the local

If its indeed possible to format the clock string to have an option to hide AM/PM in 12h format,
then the 12h clock display will become bigger and readable esp. in a small panel similar to 24h format.
It's just like looking at the time on some kitchen appliance that don't display AM/PM.

Does formatting the clock string affect performance the way showing the 'Seconds' consume CPU power?

maybe setting the LC_TIME environmentvariable would do the trick
