Add date to time at top

dirtygreek · 08/25/2009, 09:25 PM

I couldn't find this in the forums, so I figured it out myself. Apologies if I failed at searching

In

Code:

/usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js

Search for

Code:

$('clock').innerHTML = Mojo.Format.formatDate(date, {time:format});

And replace with

Code:

$('clock').innerHTML = Mojo.Format.formatDate(date, {date:'short',time:format});

This will change your time on the top bar to the format

8/25/09 10:24

Oh cool, I would have to wait to try it though

UndeadCircus · 08/25/2009, 11:01 PM

Very nice! Thanks for a really solid contribution!

2sslow · 11:03 PM

works great thanks!
Might want to change to:

Code:

cd /
mount -o remount,rw /
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js

Depending what mods have been done to your bar-assistant.js file the line you are looking for is around 2350 +_

Glad it worked for you guys. Now a new question - any idea on modifying the lock screen? I've been banging around in com.palm.app.screenlock and can't find much of anything to help me add date and other info to it. I do not understand why 1.) this screen doesn't already have the date and 2.) why this isn't configurable.

Thanks

The Lock screen already shows the date. It shows where at the top (where the time is displayed on the launcher).

for me it was 2305, and btw,
its

Code:

sudo -i
cd /
mount -o remount,rw /
vi /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js
mount -o remount,ro /

capitalization error in Mount

Why does it have that extra space between the date, {
This:

Code:

$('clock').innerHTML = Mojo.Format.formatDate(date, {date:'short',time:format});

where as the next line down it's

Code:

$('today').innerHTML = Mojo.Format.formatDate(date,{date:'short'});

Would that make any difference or am I reading into it too much? (trying to understand how to write these linux lines)

And could we get rid of the year.... So have it look like: 8/31 and not 8/31/09? Cuz I figure I know what year I am in.

I'm looking for the same thing--that font is pretty bad. I'd like to replace it with the analog clock from the Clock app, if possible.

Quick question: My time at the top slaps an extra zero in front of everything. Example, instead of "4:30" it will say "04:30". Any way of getting rid of this?

Hey,

The extra space doesn't matter. Javascript (as most programming languages) is pretty flexible with white space characters. It's just there to make the code more readable for the human eyes.

Something like this?

Code:

	var formedDate=Mojo.Format.formatDate(date, {date:'short'});
	formedDate=formedDate.substr(0,formedDate.lastIndexOf('/'));
	$('clock').innerHTML = formedDate+' '+Mojo.Format.formatDate(date, {time:format});

It's editing using vi. There's a whole page dedicated to it on the wiki, under "Linux Basics" or something like that. Basically, hitting i puts you in edit mode, the Esc key back out of edit mode, then type :wq to save. But first, read up on how to use vi.

Thanks everyone. Worked perfect for me.

Interesting!! I will have to try that when I get home... Anyone else try it? Screenshot?

Sounds like you have the clock set to display 24 hours instead of 12

Didn't work

And I sure as heck don't have the knowledge to possibly change it to work.... (sure wish I did!)

2sslow · 09/01/2009, 11:49 PM

Works for me

**mamouton** · 09/01/2009, 11:52 PM

I love that black theme please share the steps or backgrounds you used. Also how did you get rid of the year in the clock mod.
