Edit your ~/.blackboxrc file so that it has a line like this: session.screen0.strftimeFormat %H:%M
--------<From the blackbox (1) manpage>--------
session.screen<num>.strftimeFormat [string]
A C language date format string, any combination of specifiers can
be used. The default is %I:%M %p which generates a 12 hour clock
with minutes and an am/pm indicator appropriate to the locale. 24 hours and minutes %H:%M
12 hours and minute %I:%M %p
month/day/year %m/%d/%y
day/month/year %d/%m/%y Default is hours:minutes am/pm
see
strftime 3
for more details.
--------</From the blackbox (1) manpage>--------Note that rather than %H:%M, you could use any combination of strings from the strftime (3) manpage. My .blackboxrc has this line: session.screen0.strftimeFormat: %a, %d %b %Y %R where %a = The abbreviated weekday name according to the current locale, %d = The day of the mont as a decimal number (range 01 to 31) %b = The abbreviated month name according to the current locale %Y = The year as a decimal number including the century %R = The time in 24 hour notation (%H:%M)
Also note that in blackbox you don't want the clock to include the seconds, as blackbox only updates it once a minute.
Also also note that, if by some strange freaky circumstance you don't have the strftime() function, you would use different options, but I really doubt that you wouldn't have it.

Hi,

Thanks
