Hierdie sleutel spesifiseer die uurformaat van die horlosie-miniprogram. Moontlike waardes is "12-hour", "24-hour", "internet", "unix" en "custom". Indien op "internet" gestel, sal die horlosie internettyd vertoon. Die internettydstelsel verdeel die dag in 1000 ".slae". Daar is geen tydsones in hierdie stelsel nie, dus is die tyd wêreldwyd dieselfde. Indien op "unix" gestel, sal die horlosie die tyd in sekondes sedert Epog, d.w.s. 1970-01-01, vertoon. Indien op "custom" gestel, sal die horlosie die tyd vertoon volgens die formaat wat in die custom_format-sleutel gespesifiseer is.
This key specifies the hour format used by the clock applet. Possible values are "12-hour", "24-hour", "internet", "unix" and "custom". If set to "internet", the clock will display Internet time. The Internet time system divides the day into 1000 ".beats". There are no time zones in this system, so time is the same all over the world. If set to "unix", the clock will display time in seconds since Epoch, i.e. 1970-01-01. If set to "custom", the clock will display time according to the format specified in the custom_format key.
