I haven't had a change to muck with the settings yet. Hopefully I'll have more time to test mods to it tonight. Anyone have the list of string values that this file uses?

For those who haven't been able to view the file, here are the contents (without the nasty control characters).

Listing of Localizable.strings

/* View as Icon Menu String */
"MBC_VIEW_AS_ICON_MENUITEM" = "View as Analog";

/* View as Text Menu String */
"MBC_VIEW_AS_TEXT_MENUITEM" = "View as Digital";

/* View in Floating Window */
"MBC_VIEW_IN_WINDOW_DIGITAL" = "View in Window as Digital";

/* View in Floating Window */
"MBC_VIEW_IN_WINDOW_TRADITIONAL" = "View in Window as Analog";

/* Open Date & Time String */
"MBC_OPEN_DATETIME_MENUITEM" = "Open Date & Time &";

/* 1st menu item date/time format string */
/* NO LONGER USED.  The first menu item displayed now uses NSDateFormatString */
/*  it doesn't include the time, but it solves a lot of localization issues and works */
/*  around some Foundation / International prefs interaction issues */
/* "MBC_DATETIME_MENUITEM_FORMAT" = "%A %1m/%e/%Y %1I:%M%p"; */


/* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*/
/* The following 3 strings are used to set up the format the menu bar clock will use     */

/*  Localizations needs to follow these instructions for the menu clock to work properly. */

/*  MBC_CLOCK_FORMAT_STRING is the main format string.  It MUST contain a %a, %time, and %p */
/*      The order of the items can vary and any additional characters or punctuation is ok */
/*      For example, you could put the short day of week at the END of the menu bar clock by */
/*      changing the format to: "%time%p %a" */
//"MBC_CLOCK_FORMAT_STRING" = "%a %time%p";
"MBC_CLOCK_FORMAT_STRING" = "%a %time";


/* MBC_CLOCK_REMOVE_AMPM_STRING is a string that is used to REMOVE the AM/PM display when a user
 */
/*      turns off display AM/PM (or selects 24 hour formats).  This string MUST contain %p.  It 
should */
/*      also contain any additional characters that need to be removed when the AM/PM isn't bein
g */
/*      displayed.  For example, a format that wanted a dash to appear before the AM/PM would be
: */
/*      "%a %time-%p".  To remove it when a user turns off AM/PM display, the MBC_CLOCK_REMOVE_A
MPM_STRING */
/*      should contain "-%p" */
"MBC_CLOCK_REMOVE_AMPM_STRING" = " %p";


/* MBC_CLOCK_REMOVE_DAYOFWEEK_STRING is a string used to REMOVE the short day of week display when a user */
/*      turns off the show day of week option in the preferences.  This string MUST contain %a. It should */
/*      also contain any additional characters that need to be removed when the day of week isn't being */
/*      displayed.  For example, the US time format puts a space between the day of week and the start of */
/*      the time so MBC_CLOCK_REMOVE_DAYOFWEEK_STRING containds "%a " */
"MBC_CLOCK_REMOVE_DAYOFWEEK_STRING" = "%a ";

The count of pattern letters determine the format.

(Text): 4 or more, use full form, (Number): the minimum number of digits. Shorter numbers are zero-padded to this amount (e.g. if "m" produces "6", "mm" produces "06"). Year is handled specially; that is, if the count of 'y' is 2, the Year will be truncated to 2 digits. (e.g., if "yyyy" produces "1997", "yy" produces "97".)

(Text & Number): 3 or over, use text, otherwise use number. (e.g., "M" produces "1", "MM" produces "01", "MMM" produces "Jan", and "MMMM" produces "January".)
