Possible to Get "2023-10-01 12:42 UTC" E.g.?

[AlexLandherr]

I'm wondering how to get the above date and time format in the top bar as shown in the title of this issue? My locale settings:

alexl@PD70PNP:~$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT=sv_SE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
alexl@PD70PNP:~$

My timezone/time standard is UTC.

When I use y-MM-dd kk:mm I get 2023-10-01 12:42 and when using y-MM-dd kk:mm Z I get 2023-10-01 12:42 10/1/2023, UTC.

However if I set the field next to "Use default locale (en-US)" to "sv-SE" and keep y-MM-dd kk:mm Z I get 2023-10-01 12:42 2023-10-01 UTC which almost correct.

I don't want to rely on the 'text' - literal text feature to just say 'UTC' as this would be incorrect if I decide to change back to my local time zone which is CET/CEST.

once the pull #31 is merged with the new formatter you should be able to do it, if you want you can overwrite your current extension version to test it

31 merged, new version was submitted to extensions.gnome.org and hopefully gets successfully review, closing this as it was implemented by @bomdia.

It seems the version on extensions.gnome.org is still version 10; is this correct?:

[bomdia]

@AlexLandherr if you want to install it from extension.gnome you have to wait for them to approve the new version, you can also download the repo as a zip and manual install it, if you need it asap, I recommend you to wait, anyways the extensions are in ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions

[bomdia]

And the new version support only gnome 45 if you are using old version of the shell you have to update it if you want to use this extension version

I'll wait. Will of course let you know once I've tried it.

I don't think I want to compromise my Debian 12 install which is presently using GNOME 43.6. This is kind of annoying for me because I really hoped it would work without messing with the desktop environment version.

Unfortunately Gnome 45 introduced significant breaking changes to the way extensions work, so it'd be like maintaining two completely different extensions, for <45 and >45 versions.

I found this extension that does work for GNOME 43.6: Panel Date Format on Ask Ubuntu
