Tips for playing a Windows 7 system clock

One of the big features of Windows 7 is the introduction of the "Super taskbar", which, in addition to the dazzling aero effects, is an obvious improvement (and should say "width" more precisely). It is with this "material base" that we can now comfortably view both the time and the date. But for the author of this kind of love seriously, such a "courtesy" is not perfect, because this date there are many can be "tuning" space!

Go to Setup Panel

In fact, Windows 7 supports a variety of date formats, except that you need to enter a special panel to modify them. Of course, the method is not complicated, a short four steps can be done!

1. Click on the lower right corner of the time zone;

2. Click the "Change date and Time Settings" link below the time panel;

3. Click the "Change calendar Settings" link in the date Setup Panel;

4. Find the date Custom label.

After entering the Setup Panel, you will find that some of the code is already listed in the diagram. For example, you can use "ddd", "dddd" to represent the days of the week, and "M" or "Y" to represent the month and year. When we write the code into the above format box, the system will automatically display the corresponding content according to the definition!

A netizen asked, here's a short date, a long date is what mean? What's the difference in actual use? In fact, the reason is very simple, Windows7 in different locations will use different date formats, such as in the "Super taskbar" or "explorer" often use a short date, and the date panel because of the space is more favored long date.

Combat 1: Direct display of the week

Let the taskbar display the day of the week is a lot of netizens dream, and before there are some ways to solve this problem (such as the task bar dragged to the sides of the screen). However, because of the different operating habits, not everyone can accept this adjustment. In fact, we can do this by modifying the method of date code to achieve this, and the operation is very simple, as long as the code "dddd" on behalf of the week directly added to the date format after the format transformation. The biggest advantage of this modification is that it will not affect the original task bar appearance.

In fact, in addition to this standard appellation, Win7 also provides us with another colloquial appellation, that is, "Monday", "Tuesday", and so on, need to replace the code "dddd" to "ddd" can be. In addition, the location of the code can be adjusted freely, for example, we can simply place it at the beginning of our liking.

Combat 2: Switch to 12-hour system

Some netizens are not accustomed to the system default 24 hours, may wish to change it to 12 hours! The specific method is very simple, first into the "custom format" under the "Time" panel, the original representative of the 24-hour "H" to represent the 12-hour system of "H". Of course, in order to make the time display more intuitive, it is best to join in the morning and Afternoon "TT" code, the final effect is as follows.

Combat 3: Personalized Text decoration

Perhaps you think these changes are not enough personality, don't worry, we might as well add a paragraph of personalized text bar. It is worth noting that, unlike the previous instruction code, in order for the system to correctly identify the text identity, you must first enclose it in quotation marks. Click OK after the effect will come out, not bad!

Written in the last

It is worth noting that the modified date format automatically acts on the entire Windows system. Of course, in general this is not bad, on the contrary, it will make the data read more convenient. Only when you have some database software installed in your computer (such as financial software, etc.) the individual software will not start, then simply restore the format to the default.
