Date and time in your menu bar

The folks at Creative Bits are at it again. Last month, they posted a trick for changing the displays icon in your Mac's menu bar. Today, blogger Ivan posts his trick for getting both the time and date to display in the menu bar. He writes:

"First you have to open System Preferences/ International and choose the Formats tab. If you click customize at Times you will find several formats of time that can be customized: short, medium, long, full...Here you can simply drag and drop the Time elements from below to create your custom time format."

Next, he does the same in the Date control panel, copying the line that he altered. After that, it's simply a matter of reopening window for customizing the Time display and pasting the date line in. Pretty cool.
