How to customize the time widget?

Question

I would love to modify my wingpanel, so that the date-time widget shows time in a custom format. (Specifically, I'd love to add decimal time there.) However, I couldn't find what part of the source code is responsible for rendering the time. Could you point me in the right direction, please? :)

I'm sorry but we don't and won't support this level of customization.

The code you're looking for is at https://github.com/elementary/wingpanel-indicator-datetime/blob/master/src/Widgets/PanelLabel.vala#L60 also note that:

• GLib.DateTime has no way to rendering into decimal time
• We're updating the label every minute or second only which won't match your custom format.
