Setting system to use 24hr time

Post#1 by achard » 02 Aug 2022, 02:15

Does anyone know how/if its possible to set the system to use 24hr time?
We have a webapp that uses the built in date/time widgets in the browser. The only way to set these to be 24hr is if the system locale setting also uses 24hr time.

Hello achard,

I have done some testing on:
http://www.uize.com/examples/digital-clock.html

and system localization does not matter.

Browser needs to be localized to a non US version. Polish localized Firefox displays a 24 hour format on this page.
This could be done through the customized builds service.

Thanks
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
