Lubuntu Digital Clock

Editing the digital clock in the Lubuntu panel is always one of my first tweaks after a fresh install.

To edit The format of the clock, secondary-click the clock text and select "digital clock settings."

However, I always forget which letters correspond to which date format. I've posted some of them below, but this tool will solve all your problems with a simple drag and drop web interface.

%a - The abbreviated weekday name (Sun)
%A - The full weekday name (Sunday)
%b - The abbreviated month name (Jan)
%B - The full month name (January)
