How to remove the time field in MATE notification bar?

Recently installed MATE on Ubuntu Hirsute. By default, the notification applet contains a time indicator. I'm using the own time applet which is more powerful (supports timezones, supports displaying seconds. However, I cannot get rid of the clock in the notification bar. Which, frankly, has really nothing to do with notifications anyways so I don't know why it's in there in the first place.

For clarity, this is the one I want to get rid of (crossed out in red):

I've looked through dconf but can nowhere see where this could possibly be configured. Does anyone know how to get rid of it?


Solution 1:

The most elegant solution is to replace Indicator Applet Complete with Indicator Applet and Clock:

Default (Indicator Applet Complete) default
Custom (Indicator Applet + Clock) custom

See screencast for procedure:

panel applet change

Optionally select Lock To Panel for both just added applets.

On my machines I'm doing so and happy with this applet arrangement.
