How to Customize System Clock

[sellywelly]

Hello!

I once had a program that allowed me to customize the system clock. I could change the text after the time (PM/AM to whatever I wanted) and had more control over the format of the date. I think it might have been a third party program but I have since lost it. Has anyone heard of something similar?

Just go open Date & Time, go to "Open International", then go to "Formats", then "Customize". There you can put in pretty much anything you want into different preset lengths (long, medium, short). So you can have a different custom display for each length.

If you are running Tiger or Leopard, there's a neat trick to do it without any 3rd party utilities:
