I appreciate your work on Deskbar. Love the bigger icons!
However... :)
Is this change really a good idea?
The 12/24 hour setting should be taken from the Locale preferences. Why
would anyone want to have a different setting just for the Deskbar
clock?
The former clock format setting in Deskbar preferences was more
descriptive IMO. Also, two checkboxes are more flexible than a radio
selection of 3 choices: 1) Show seconds, 2) Show timezone.
This would also allow to show the timezone without seconds.
And finally: The context menu item of the clock should be just "Time
preferences..." instead of "Open time settings...". See the menu of the
Media icon in the Deskbar.
