Changing How macOS Displays the DateFirst, we’ll look at dates. In macOS, the formats are divided into Short, Medium, Long, and Full. Short just gives the numeric figures for the date, while Full goes all out and provides you with the day of the week, the month, the day, and the year. The default Date settings are fine for most, but Apple has provided us a lot of flexibility in changing themYou can type text and drag elements from the bottom section of the pane to adjust how the date is displayed. For example, let’s say I wanted the Medium format to also provide me with the week of the month. Since there’s no easy way here to pick between “st” and “rd” ordinals, and I’m a bit OCD about them, I’d just type “Week of the month: ” at the end of the prefilled format, then drag the week of the month element into the field. Here, I’ve added the week of the month to my medium formatWith that done, any app that pulls the date from macOS will use my updated format.
Listener Kenneth MacDonald brought this to our attention (so a tip o’ the hat to him!), because he wanted to change the date field in his to show the day along with the date. In his case, it was a matter of adding the day of the week to the Medium format. Showing the Time the Way You Want ItNext is the Times panel, where you once again have a Short, Medium, Long, and Full format. This is where you can get your time displayed with almost as much granularity as you could ask for — you can even display the milliseconds.
