I originally installed 11.1 using the default language selection,
English. I then changed to German for my wife, and wanted to change the
digital clock display to the 24 hour.In the root display it is in the 24
hour format, in the KDE desktop settings it is also shown in the 24 hour
format, but on the user display my wife uses it’s shown in am/pm
format. I can’t find any possibility to change the format.
I also installed 11.1 on a usb hard drive to use as my test version for
trying new software or settings. I installed in German from the start,
and the 24 hour format is shown on all screens.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Prexy,
You’re right I didn’t think of looking there. I suppose it makes some
sense, as you can also change measuring system, paper format, currency
and many other things associated to a language or region. Thanks for the
tip

I notice that when I have changed it to 24-hour format, though the time
takes up less space, the widget itself still takes up the same amount of
space as before. Half of my reason for switching to 24-hour format was
to save space on the bar… Oh well?
In an unrelated note, I love the built-in hardware support of openSUSE,
specifically in YaST. I have an IBM SpaceSaver keyboard, on which
Shift+Scroll Lock is Num Lock (dual purpose button), and it didn’t work
until I went into YaST and chose my keyboard. Now I don’t have to have
the external keypad plugged in when I want to turn off the embedded one!
