Comment 13 for bug 593592

It appears you are right,

That doesn't take away from the fact that the current behaviour is just ridiculous. As pointed out numerous times; a 24 hour clock *does not exist* (or at least is very, very non-standard), changing format settings should not change the analog theme.

Also, you do realize now, there are two ways to do exactly the same thing, but depending on the view mode you can only access one of them? Changing the clock theme to a -24 hour variant *also* changes the format on the digital version! So if you are in digital mode changing format is done using the 24 hour menu option, while in analog mode you have to do it with themes item.

Apart from that, my branch introduces some other features you should consider, for example checking the user local settings when determining clock style and changing time and date sizes in 24 hour mode. (Have you seen how ridiculously small the time is when the pm/am indicator is gone?)

I probably come of a bit harsh but I just wished you took a look at my branch and considered the needs of users outside of US a bit more. If you accept that the current behaviour needs to change, I will be happy to implement all needed features my self (on your specification of course).
