I have pypanel set up and feh setting my background and I am using Thunar as my file manager, but I still have a few questions.

1) The time shown on pypanel is wrong (so is the date); how do I fix that?

2) How can I set icons for Thunar to use when I open it? Currently it just uses a gray document icon for everything.

1. man date

2.create .gtkrc-2.0 and write in gtk-icon-theme-name="$name"

$name is the name of the Icon Theme, in /usr/share/icons or in ~/.icons

Thanks, now I have the awesome nuoveXT-1.6 icons gracing Thunar's window, but I obviously couldn't handle the power of man date. In case it helps though, date -u gives me a time four hours ahead of me (I would assume because I am in GMT -4).

date --set=[date format]

Oh ok so it now shows the correct time in 24 hour clock. Is it possible to get pypanel to show the time in 12-hour format with AM and PM?

EDIT: Never mind, I just had to edit the date format in .pypanelrc.
