How to get the LONG DATE format to display the DAY

[Guest pcheaven]

Having edited my homescreen xml to display the current date

ie by adding :

date mode="long" halign="center" x="2" y="34"/>

to the carrier plugin.

The date is displayed on the home screen without the day.

Thats not much use, so edit the registry as follows and power cycle the phone.

now you get " Tuesday, 30th September 2003". Perfect

HKLMnlsoverridesSLdte to a value of "dddd, d MMMM, yyyy"

all homescreens i've used so far already do that.... (even the default orange one)

Without having to edit the registry.

lemme check the xml ;)

this is what my current one looks like

<plugin clsid="{44FA0F8C-082F-42b4-BE49-82559F23D5D4}" name="date" height="24">


  <background b-border-width="0"/>


 	 <date  fgcolor="#000000" font-weight="bold" valign="top" halign="left" mode="long" y="-3"/>


	</plugin>

XML OK.

Must be a region setting thing for us in the UK.

My Pocket PC needs the same reg mod while set to UK

Yep its a Regional thing :roll:

If i remember correctly, when i wanted the day show i had to change from UK to Swiss ;)

A Big thanks for the reg setting tho =D>
