RainMeter: Looking for a bit of assistance...

[SansVarnic]

Ok I recently went and upgraded my Rainmeter and decided to make a skin change so I installed ModernGadgets (I prefer the spartan look) I got this going and ran into one specific issue I cant get around for some reason.

 

Chronometer: The default layout gives you the time, uptime counter and a countdown. I removed the uptime and the countdown as do not need these.

Issue: I want the time to be represented in 24hr, the default is in 12hr. I open the settings interface and selected the custom format and inserted the proper format codes;

%H:%M:%S %R

this unfortunately did not change the format. So I opened notepad and made the changes directly:

 

from this:

timeFormat=WinLong
dateFormat=WinLong
customTimeFormat=%#I:%M:%S %p
customDateFormat=%m.%d.%G

 

to this

timeFormat=WinLong
dateFormat=WinLong
customTimeFormat=%H:%M:%S %R
customDateFormat=%m.%d.%G

 

or

timeFormat=WinLong
dateFormat=WinLong
customTimeFormat=%H:%M:%S
customDateFormat=%m.%d.%G

 

I went so far to change it to this:

timeFormat=WinLong
dateFormat=WinLong
customTimeFormat=%T
customDateFormat=%m.%d.%G

 

Nothing, no change in the format and I am stumped. I followed the steps and inserted the format codes according to the instructions, as far as I can see.

The "ModernGadgets" forum page that covers the installation and setup: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=24381

List of codes [Time Format Reference] here: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual-beta/measures/time/#FormatCodes

 

I think I am missing something as all the other changes I have made, I have had no issue with.

Any assistance someone can offer I would appreciate.

 

Currently this is what it looks like:

This has been Solved.

timeFormat=Custom

customTimeFormat=%H:%M:%S
customDateFormat=%m.%d.%G
