Digital clock fails

[Jeroen De Dauw]

Right now the digital clock widget shows 12:23 AM, while it's 00:23. I don't like AM/PM display, and how you can have a value above 12 hours is beyond me. Its even more ridiculous then the American date format >_>. And even if you did that, I'd expect 12:23 AM to be 12:23, not 00:23. [/rant]

Is there a way to have it display military time (I'm not finding anything in the options) or some other digital clock widget that allows for sane display (did not find any in the list of available widgets)?

If the clock doesn't change immediately, relog into kde (restarting plasma should do it as well)

12:00 AM (midnight) = 0:00
1:00 AM = 1:00
---
11:00 AM = 11:00
12:00 PM (noon) = 12:00
1:00 PM = 13:00
---
11:00 PM = 23:00
12:00 AM = 0:00

I don't know of any other way to express 24-hour time.

Thanks! Looked there but somehow missed it

Start with 0, end with 11:59:59.

Starting with 1, which then goes to 12:59:59 is madness.

The stroke of midnight is when the day clicks over. 24-hour clocks start at 0 and go to 23:59:59. 24-hour time is used consistently like this, all around the world. Where do you see "starting with 1"?

I think he means the am/pm clock
