           Summary: Wishlist: Make default time setting show AM/PM instead
                    of 24hr time format
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jdmulloy at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Most "normal" people are used to time being displayed in the 12 hour AM/PM
format, not the 24 hour format which is considered by "normal" people to be
military time. The current default in KDE 4 if the 24 hour format. This is
always one of the first things I change on a fresh KDE profile. It's not a big
deal for me when I setup a PC with KDE on it for someone else, but a "normal"
person installing a KDE distro like Kubuntu for him or herself doesn't know
exactly where this setting is like I do (It's in System Settings->Regional &
Language->Time & Dates). It's not a huge deal, just a user friendliness thing.
I love KDE4 and I think it is a fantastic desktop environment that is far and
above the competition, especially Gnome, but if we want to win over new users
then we need better defaults.
