I was thinking perhaps something remotely similar to this http://www.guidebookgallery.org/pics/gui/settings/timedate/macos90-1-1.png (the buttons lead to http://www.guidebookgallery.org/pics/gui/settings/timedate/macos90-3-1.png and http://www.guidebookgallery.org/pics/gui/settings/timedate/macos90-2-1.png ) in that you'd have your basic time / date settings in the Time Preferences, but with a button to go to the Date / Time formatting under Locale ? That would set it system wide though. Are you looking at creating the clock now as a replicant and having settings unique to that replicant? If so, your idea is as good as any I'd come up with. -- "You don't use science to show you're right, you use science to become right." --xkcd
