Fedora-30 insists that I use Thunderbird 60.6.1 (64-bit), refuses to dnf
downgrade it, so once again I am trying to get it to do some of the
things I find most convenient, in this case use 24 hour time instead of
AM/PM.
Adding "export LC_TIME=C" to .bashrc m\does not change it. I think there
was an °add-On that did it for me in the past but that's one of many
that shows not compatible in my Thunderbird. Can anyone tell me how to
change this?
Well that was a crazy rabbit hole. I figured out how to make my own
locale variant with different time display settings. But in the end, as
far as I can tell, despite saying otherwise, Thunderbird appears to
mostly ignore the locale formatting. I'm downloading the source code to
try to find out what it's doing, but that will take a while. Even
though the Thunderbird settings says to use the right locale for the
time display and it loads the files, it still doesn't change how the
time is displayed.
At this point, the best option appears to be running Thunderbird from
the command line using:
LC_TIME=en_GB thunderbird
That also changes the date display, switching the month and day, but for
some reason it does show 24 hour time.
