<title>Change how much information is shown in the clock</title>
<p>By default, Ubuntu only shows the time in the clock. You can set the clock to show
additional information if you choose.</p>
<p>Click on the clock and select <gui>Time & Date Settings</gui>. Switch to the
<gui>Clock</gui> tab. Select the time and date options you want to display.</p>
<note><p>You can also turn the clock off entirely by unchecking <gui>Show a clock
in the menu bar</gui>.</p>
<p>If you later change your mind, you can get the clock back by clicking the icon in
the very right of the menu bar and selecting <gui>System Settings</gui>. In the System
section, click <gui>Time & Date</gui>.</p></note>
