In Karmic, the clock applet shows the date by default. The date is also displayed in the clock applet tooltip, and is visible on click in the calendar applet; all in all, there are three ways to find the date using the clock applet. We should remove one of these ways in the interest of de-cluttering the panel.
Current default clock presentation is:
Wed Jul 29, 10:28 AM
Suggested default:
10:28 AM
Again, to see the date, the user can place the cursor over the clock applet and read the tooltip, or she can click on the clock and view the calendar. At a glace, items in the panel should appear clean and simple -- minimalist -- but provide more information when clicked. Users should still be able to turn date display on or off on in the clock applet preferences; we should only change the default preference to not show the date by default. |

We should remove one of these ways in the interest of de-cluttering the panel.
This is a very subtle change and many people will object at first, but when the option exists to show the date or not show the date, the default option should favor a simpler display, with the user opting-in for the more complex option. It is better to let those who want the date displayed enable it than to require it to be disabled by those who don't need it in the panel. This philosophy of letting the user add complexity rather than creating opportunities to remove complexity from the default configuration is a thread found throughout Ubuntu. For example, the clutter-free default desktop allows users to add icons rather than placing icons there by default to be removed by users who do not need them.
