How do I show the date in the clock indicator?

Solution 1:

I blogged about this today here.

Basically, this can be adjusted via dconf-editor (under /apps/indicators/datetime) from
the dconf-tools package, or by using gsettings in a terminal:

For 11.04:

Click on the Clock and choose "Time and Date Settings":

enter image description here

For 11.04 on the command line:

gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-date true
gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.datetime show-day true

For 10.10 (command line only unfortunately):

gsettings set org.ayatana.indicator.datetime show-date true
gsettings set org.ayatana.indicator.datetime show-day true
