To return Puppy's clock to the 12 hour format instead of the default 24 hour clock:
Go to ~/root/ and show all files.
Open the file ".jwmrc-tray" with geany.
Scroll down to the bottom of the file until you see the following entry:
<Clock format="%H:%M ">minixcal</Clock>
I always like to comment out old lines. Comment out the line with "<!--" at the beginning and "-->" at the end.
<!-- <Clock format="%H:%M ">minixcal</Clock>-->
Saving the old entry in a comment will allow you to revert back to the 24 hour clock later should you wish to change it back.
"%H" is the 24 hour setting. You will need to change it to "%I". That is an uppercase letter i. Adding "%p" adds am pm to the time.
Enter a new line below the comment. Edit the line as follows entering "<Clock format="%I:%M%p ">minixcal</Clock> " You can copy and paste the text below:
<Clock format="%I:%M%p ">minixcal</Clock>
Save the file. You can choose menu/refresh menus to refresh the desktop or reboot to see the change in the clock.
5 PM will now appear as "05:53 PM" in the JWM menu tray.
