Hey, thanks for getting in touch.
Let me give you a little back story. In KDE4 we used to have our own "layer" of formatting. It was called KLocale and was part of kdelibs, aka the KDE Platform. This was very powerful and allowed doing exactly the thing you describe. Now with the KDE Frameworks effort, we dropped as much of our layers as we could and tried to move things to Qt itself as much as possible. KLocale was one of those things that was told good bye. The Qt counterpart, QLocale, is much less powerful than KLocale. And basically the only way to set the things is to export couple LC_* system variables, which take only the country/region as a valid value. So there's only so much we can do with that. I do agree though that having a simple radio buttons for 12/24 and metric/imperial would be nicer. The date-time is a slightly different thing and allows alternative formatting too, this could in principle be used to make the clock format customizable, but at this point I don't think we're going to support that. However I would support creating an alternative clock applet with all the options one can possibly have, it can be hosted on kde-look.org and easily downloadable by everyone. Also, as Christoph mentioned, bugs.kde.org is the right place for reports about bugs and/or things you'd like to see implemented :) Cheers -- Martin Klapetek | KDE Developer
