Does anyone know a way to determine programmatically in Cocoa
whether or not the user has set the "use a 24-hour clock" option in
the Date & Time preferences pane? Accessing NSTimeFormatString
through NSUserDefaults gives you the time format for the current
locale, not the menu bar clock. I would like to be able to see what
the user is using in the menu bar, and then have my application
show the time in the same format. I couldn't figure out where this
information is stored - presumably in a plist somewhere.
Perhaps ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.MenuBarClock.plist?
Although in most cases, the way to display a date or time shouldn't
really be dictated by the format used in the menu bar clock. The
clock settings I use are nothing like the standard date/time settings
for my locale; they're appropriate for how I use the clock, but not
for much else... :-)
