Subject: display-time-mode in menu bar.
Date: Tue, 9 Aug 2005 20:42:33 -0500 (CDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200508100142.j7A1gXv02186@raven.dms.auburn.edu> (raw)
I believe that the menu item text and the help echo for the item on
the Show/Hide menubar menu that toggles Display Time mode is wrong.
The current text says: "Date, Time and Mail". However, do
`emacs -q' and then enable the item using the menubar. No date is shown,
but if your load average is big enough, it will display the load
average. Enabling `display-time-mode' will, as the docstring of the
function says, show the date in the modeline if and only if
`display-time-day-and-date' is non-nil. But the default value of
that option is nil, so the menubar docs should not assume that it is
non-nil.
What about the patch below, which I can install if desired.
