Hi, Oops, the modified script I supplied does not say the year. If you do indeed still want the year, I can fix that for you, or you can experiment some yourself to see if you can figure it out and where to place the argument.

Down closer to the bottom, you'll find a line that starts with "set currentTime to " blah blah blah • highlight this entire command and remove it in order to replace it with the following: set currentTime to ((currentDate's weekday) as text) & " " & ((currentDate's month) as text) & " " & ((currentDate's day) as text) & ", " & (currentHour as text) & ":" & ((currentMinutes) as text) & " " & amPM as text Since we're having so much fun, you can read the contents of the above line and note that I only added one extra item before the currentMonth item. The new item pertains to the weekday that is already part of the (current date) within Apple Script. While in Apple Script, you can press cmd-r to run the script and see if what you've done returns the correct phrase for you. If it's all good, you'll need to now save and move the modified script back into the proper location. So, • press cmd-s to Save the new modified script. • Press cmd-q to Quit Script Editor. • Navigate to the Time of Day script on your Desktop and press cmd-c to Copy. • Navigate to, and open, Macintosh HD, Library, Scripts, VoiceOver. • cmd-v to Paste the new, modified version of your script and replace it when asked. • Close up all the Finder windows. Now, pressing right-option-t should now say "Monday, February 3, 2020". HTH. Later...
