In all prior versions of Kubuntu I've ever used (going back five years or so), I can go to System Settings and customize the date/time formats, specifying that I want 24-hour time, short dates, whatever. In 15.04, apparently, all you can do is pick a country and it uses the locale settings for that country. This is absurd, to say the least. Why were these settings removed?

I don't know if this is also the case in regular Ubuntu (I strongly dislike Unity), but I sure as heck hope there's some way to get this functionality back. Being forced to use 12-hour time simply because my locale is the US is ridiculous. I can change my Time setting to "United Kingdom", which solves the time problem, but then sets a Date setting that I absolutely don't want to use.

Whose idea was this, and where can I find them to complain?

Right click on the clock and choose the "settings for digital clock" then customize it to your willings and press the apply button.

Since Plasma 5.4:

  1. Right-click on digital clock
  2. Select "Digital Clock Settings"
  3. Check "Use 24 hour clock" (about half-way down the dialog)
