i did had the date and the time on the top bar befor the hard reset, but do not remember how i did it.
I achieved it via a reghack... See http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=188032#188032 for my working values.
Also, my reply is in the context of koksie's response:
Koksie said:
hklm\software\microsoft\shell
- add dword called "TBOpt"...

The numeric values Koksie provides to change the implementation of the clock are wrong for the Alpine, so I went and worked out what they are for the 2i (which is in the post I directly link to above). You can achieve this fix with PHM Regedit (also in that thread) or any other registry editor.
Another solution would be using a third party program...
Easytweaks comes into mind...
try out this registry modification, see whether it helps
To include both time and date in taskbar
You'll get time and short date on your right top of the screen, rather just displaying time. Meaning, you can remove your date item on your today screen.
Code:
Phase 1:
1) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
2) Create a binary value named "TBOpt" and set its value to "13 00 00 00".
3) Soft-reset
Note: If u ever get bored of the date display, rid it by deleting the TBOpt key.
Phase 2: IF U NEED THE CHANGE THE DATE FORMAT:
i) Just go to Settings>Regional Settings>Date>Short Date
ii) Choose "dd-MMMM-yy" or whichever format u prefer.
iii) Click "ok".
cheersss
If you are not that comfortable with editing your registry, you could use a 3rd party software called Tweak2K2, I used that to get the time and date on the topbar.
i just got my kaiser from DHL. its awesome!! so far everything is great except the hardward key (the light silver shiny key with the call/hang up) on the front is kinda loose and moves around.
my question is does anyone know if i can config or change the date display on the HTC Home? it now displays the date as 9/6/07, i want to change it to display the day and date.
please advice.
thanks, eric
Start / Settings / System....Regional settings - Check you have selected your country correctly.
Then you can also look under the DATE tab and verify that the short format is the one you want.
thanks. but it is now displaying the short date format. how to change it to dispaly the long date format that i chose in the setting? i want it to display thursday, septembe 06. 2007.
The date is on two lines. I'd like it to be on ONE line. The date could be:
12/xx/2007 and NOT December xx 2007
Even changing the days from:
Saturday to SAT
Friday to FRI
Thursday to THRUS
I'd just like to have it on ONE line!
How can I change this?

try this program LVM Time, it should do this just fine. attached.
once installed, you can access it in the Today Plugin settings. You can change the settings of the LVMTime also by clicking on the plugin, and you should see OPTIONs highlighted. click it and should be able to change the settings.
there's also a registry hack but it also requires that the time be moved to the title bar (even when on the today screen). You can use Kaiser Tweak or Tweaks2k2 to do this for you.
Just incase anyone else can use it:

What exactly do you change in HLM\nls\overrides?

I set SSDte to MMM-dd-yy which changes the short date format to Jan-3-08 which is what I prefer. You can use other formats, just change up the combo. If you don't have that key, add a string value to HKLM\nls\overrides
thanks....
home plugin date format
hello,
htc home plugin seems to use SSDte - how to switch it to SLDte?
any tweak?
my SSDte = d-MM-yyyy, dddd (9-01-2008, Wednesday)
my SLDte = dddd, d MMMM yyyy (Wednesday, 9 January 2008)
in the home plugin I'd like to have "Wednesday, 9 January 2008" displayed, but on the other hand it's too long for other applications (like call history) to present info clearly - so for them shorter SSDte would be OK
but only for them, leaving home plugin with the longer version
is it possible to change htc home plugin date format into SLDte?
TIA 4 any suggestions

I would love to see that too but I think it's hard coded into the today plugin. Maybe one the guys who have disassembled the home today could fix that for you. I rather like the one I use now for short date, it works in all apps as it's still short enough: MMM-dd-yy

thanks for reply. so it looks like the only way is to use the short one. and wait for a tweak one day, maybe

Today screen date displays on two lines
Just to be clear: I have an ATT Tilt and the date on my today screen now displays like this:
Friday
January 11, 2008
It used to display on one line like this (which is how I want it):
Friday, January 11, 2008
What is so frustrating is it just STARTED displaying the date on two lines and I can not figure out what I or a program did. The date has always remained on one line through several hard resets, many programs installs, and registry edits. Until just now.
I performed another hard reset, installed Pocket Informant 8, SKTools, PocketBreeze, and PocketPlus. Unfortunately for me, I have been busy adjusting settings, so I am pretty clueless as to the exact point that the date suddenly started using two lines. Argh.
Any ideas? Thanks.
navigate to HKLM\nls\overrides and edit (or add) the string value SLDte to:
dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy
That will display: Friday, January 11, 2008
I currently have: ddd, dd MMM, yy
Which displays as: Fri, 11 Jan, 08 on LVMTime plugin (and the original stock MS date/time plugin, i use LVM as i like to see the seconds roll by) as it is always small enough to fit on one line with the time w/seconds, your version will wrap to 2 lines due to days like this:
Wednesday, September 22, 2008 (tooo long )
hope this helps anyone out....

when it comes to things that unexpectadely change on their own on Kaiser - there are more of them, like SIP switching without any reason...
but concerning date in one line - this topic has been discussed. it can be fixed with Kaiser Tweak or registry edit. also, some cabs and ROMs with the fix are available on the forum
let me know if you have any trouble finding them

Why load more cab's when you can simply edit the registry to achieve the desired effect? Maybe the TIME is also displayed on that line? Or it is BOLD or the TEXT size changed? Anything?

The time is not displayed and the text size has not changed (global setting, anyway). Though, it may be bold for some reason.
Right now it is back to one line. I did another hard reset and the date returned to one line. After installing SKTools, PocketPlus, and PocketBreeze, the date changed again to two lines. I again missed the exact thing I did except that the date changed after rebooting from a soft reset. I tried uninstalling the three programs listed above, one at a time and doing a soft reset after each uninstall, but the date remained on two lines. Then I reinstalled the three programs and after another soft reset, the date changed back to one line. STRANGE.
So right now the date is ["correctly"] displaying on one line. After it changes again to two lines, I will try the registry edit that DrG suggested.

This did not correct the situation. After editting the registry, soft resetting, it still displays as:
Friday
January 11, 2008
Though I swear the clock icon next to the text is bigger. I will try to find an app for screen captures to verify. Any suggestions for a free one?
tried Kaiser Tweak?

My SSDte looked the same way, and I looked at http://www.pcoperative.com/ppc/registry_tweaks.htm#Override Date & Time Format which helped me fix the date in Word Mobile. The day of the week was spelled out, which was irritating because I couldn't read the whole document title. Changed it to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
"SSDte"=MM/dd/yy
"STFmt"=hh:mm:ss
"SLDte"=dd MMM, yyyy
and I can read the titles again.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I could have sworn that before I flashed tonight, my HTC home didn't have the operator and date across the top. I don't know what it is exactly, but something is different.
I've always had owner info,htc home, and battery status on my today screen, and before I flashed they would all fit even in landscape mode without a scroll bar, but now even with Battery status taking one line it doesn't fit.
I checked the setting in the home screen customizer and in Schaps advanced config, and I don't see what I could be missing?
Could it just be that I'm using a different version of home now? or an I really just going nuts?
Can you post a screen shot?
What ROM have you flashed to?
If the date is really long, you need to change the settings in the registry under HKLM\nls\overrides and it is the SDte I think.
