DSL Tips and Tricks :: MM/DD/YY to DD/MM/YY
I'd looked for one quite a while ago, after getting accustomed to using desktop calendar in windows....so far no luck finding one.
I use the D/M/Y and im a yank. Not all nonYanks use it. 
Is there any way to add a space to the beginning of the string?
Not at the beginning. fluxbox/init uses whitespace as a separator between resources and values, so any spaces at the beginning would just be read as more whitespace.
Only thing i can suggest is to add something small, like a period, at the beginning of the string and put the spaces after the period.
You could also use something a bit more visually appealing to add space, like braces:
[ %a %b %d %I:%M ]
