hi, (would be a great question for guenther who's out for a few days, i'm going to quote some things below already posted by him ;-) Am Montag, den 16.05.2005, 00:53 +0200 schrieb Lars Karset Grimsrud:
Is there a way to make Evolution display date and time more in accordance with ISO 8601 (24 hour clock, YYYY-MM-DD) rather than the English/American format? I've searched through the settings, but am not able to find it. For e- mails that is, not the calendar.
you won't find it, because it isn't an evolution, but a gnome wide setting (to provide consistency). the format uses your locale setting, particular the LC_TIME value. as far as i know, you can change your setting either for your entire desktop or for an application explicitly. if you do not want to change your desktop setting, start evolution by a wrapper script: create a script (don't forget the executable flag) and place it in your path before the evolution binary is found or call it directly (following example uses "en_GB.UTF-8" as locale). --- snip --- #!/bin/sh export LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8 /usr/bin/evolution & --- snip --- so at least you will get the 24h clock by choosing en_GB as locale, but i don't know if a locale exists that provides YYYY-MM-DD encoding of the date format, sorry. :-/ cheers, andre -- mailto:ak-47 gmx net | failed! http://www.iomc.de
