Call it what you want, but it is a option that is NOT there in Ubuntu, that IS there in Windows and Mac (see screen-shots I've provided).
If it is by design, it is an over-presumptuous design to assume that no one wants the year to be displayed; I've given very practical reasons for why I dearly prefer it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/465689 Title: Ubuntu Clock Won't Show Year Status in Ayatana Design: New Status in Desktop panel for GNOME: Confirmed Status in The Date and Time Indicator: Confirmed Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “indicator-datetime” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gconf-editor The Ubuntu Gnome Clock offers no setting to "show year". Yes, I know what year it is, but I have very good reason for wanting it shown. For years, I've been collecting screen-shots, when I'm doing something I think is pretty cool. When I use to use windows, these screen shots (over the years) have always showed the current year. However, since April of 2007 (The date I started using Ubuntu exclusively), my screen shots have not included the year, because the Gnome clock doesn't provide this capability.
