Hi Barb,

One last thing to try.
1.Change your "nearest city" back to Perth-Australia
2.Restart your computer.

3.Then If the Menu Bar clock is still showing the incorrect time try deleting this file.

 ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist

/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist

4. Drag that file to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac.

5. If that doesn't correct the Menu Bar Time, go back & change "nearest city" to Singapore ;-)

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni .. no, that was easy to find, thanks.

Followed as per instructions
*ditched the MenuBarClock.plist
*emptied trash
*restarted emac

Same result .. still showing DST

*double clicked clock

Same .. still showing DST

*Checked SysPref -> Date/Time

Still showing correct time

*dis-enabled clock
*re-enabled clock

Menu bar clock still showing DST

If I change the "nearest city" in Date/Time to Singapore or KL, the menu bar clock shows the correct time _ maybe I'll just have to live with it set that way!!

Cheers .. BarbZ

Hi Barb,

The Tilde " ~ " means your user name (your HOME) . So click on your HD/Users/your account name/Library/Preferences
In Panther  ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.MenuBarClock.plist

Drag this file to the Trash, empty the trash and restart your computer.

If the Menu Bar clock doesn't update after opening up the Date and Time Preference Pane, you may need to disable/enable the clock to see the change.
