Comment 21 for bug 593592

A 24 hr analog clock isnt only a theme, its also the changed hour hand behaviour. I dont see how removing that behaviour will force us to 'stop supporting clock themes'.

> This is somewhat related to bug #508547 in the sense that a 24 hour analog clock is a terribly odd sight even for countries using the 24h system. However, since it seems not possible to have the analog and digital clock configured separately(?), I do have a suggestion.

After doing so the clock will have the weird 24 hour look, but no biggy there, I'll just right click and turn "24-hour clock" off, right? Wrong! That option is blanked out. Instead, I have to pick select theme to switch back to the 12-hour clock. Seems a bit counter intuitive, no? Especially since changing the theme -also- sets the 24h option off.
