I really like this gotham theme. I am able to do it myself, and I don't mind re-applying the changes after updates, but it would be a nice feature if each field could have it's own color and even font setting. I use a bit bolder font for the time as well as color. https://postimg.cc/9DTWCqjL

Is it possible to remove the date?

Is there a way to set Gotham style to 24 Hours format instead 12Hours format?

Hi alberbrando, I've added this feature in a new PR. Once it is merged, you can control the time format of all themes from the config dialog. FYI: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-spices-desklets/pull/908

Great desklet, thank you! It just doesn't refresh to the correct time when awaking from sleep. Is there a way to fix this in the code?

Need a 24h mode so badly!

Ok I was able to figure it out myself: Go to `~/.local/share/cinnamon/desklets/timelet@linuxedo.com/themes` and open the theme you are using with a text editor, i.e. `vim gotham.js` Find line 60, and remove the method "to12hours", so your line looks like `let time = this.to2Digit(date.getHours()) + ":" + this.to2Digit(date.getMinutes());` Save and exit, now all that is left is to restart cinnamon, the easiest by right-clicking the taskbar --> Troubleshoot --> Restart Cinnamon. Now the clock displays 24 hour mode ✓

Very good desklets, I loved it! Please, could you put in the settings the possibility to choose the default 24h or 12h for each theme!

Also to add, I have the correct fonts installed. I also reloaded Cinnamon and got the below error.

Hi, Can you try uninstalling the desklet, run the following command and then try installing it? rm -rf ~/.cinnamon/configs/timelet@linuxedo.com/

Great desklet, however on the latest 21.1 Cinnamon edition it crashes when selecting the Metro theme. It was fine for a while but now it doesn't start at boot, and you get the 'Cinnamon has started successfully but one of your desklets has crashed' message. I tried re-adding the desklet and it will work but the Metro theme does not. Spotted the below in Looking Glass: error t=2022-12-30T12:35:25Z [ReferenceError: date is not defined]: Failed to evaluate 'main' function on desklet: timelet@linuxedo.com/0 error t=2022-12-30T12:35:25Z [timelet@linuxedo.com]: Desklet timelet@linuxedo.com: Could not create desklet object.
