In Karmic, the clock applet shows the date by default. The date is also displayed in the clock applet tooltip, and is visible on click in the calendar applet; all in all, there are three ways to find the date using the clock applet. We should remove one of these ways in the interest of de-cluttering the panel.
Current default clock presentation is:
Wed Jul 29, 10:28 AM
Suggested default:
10:28 AM
Again, to see the date, the user can place the cursor over the clock applet and read the tooltip, or she can click on the clock and view the calendar. At a glace, items in the panel should appear clean and simple -- minimalist -- but provide more information when clicked. Users should still be able to turn date display on or off on in the clock applet preferences; we should only change the default preference to not show the date by default.
