This page is helpful when customizing PatternLayouts:
http://tinyurl.com/e3nd3
http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/sdk/log4net.Layout.PatternLayout.html
It looks like you want this:
%date[%thread]%level
The person viewing the logs might appreciate some spaces in the layout:
%date [%thread] %5level
You can use the standard DateTime formats to customize the date:
%date{yyyy-mm-dd}
There are also some built-in formats:
%date{ISO8601}
%date{ABSOLUTE}
