1) Regarding usability I find it confusing how the clock applet misleads by stating there are no settings available through this brad crumb path: "Budgie Desktop Settings -> Bottom Panel -> Applets -> Clock -> No settings available". There are settings (or preferences) but they are available only through left click of the clock applet on on the system tray. I think the same settings should be accessible through the above mentioned path as well.
2a) I find the formatting options for the date string some what limiting. They are available through "Settings -> Region & Language -> Formats -> Format for numbers, dates and currencies". A feature request would be to add a custom date string formatting option - By wich I mean something like this:
$date “+%A %m-%d-%Y”
Wednesday 02-10-2010
2b) As a tweak is there perhaps a way to add a custom "Common Format" perhaps by "sudo gedit":ing some file?
