Open /usr/share/enigma2/skin.xml and search this

        <screen name="StandbySummary" position="0,0" size="132,64" id="1">
        <widget source="global.CurrentTime" render="Label" position="6,0" size="120,64" font="Display;40" halign="center" valign="center">
                      <convert type="ClockToText">Format:%H:%M</convert>
            </widget>
              <widget source="session.RecordState" render="FixedLabel" position="6,0" zPosition="1" size="120,64" text=" ">
                     <convert type="ConfigEntryTest">config.usage.blinking_display_clock_during_recording,True,CheckSourceBoolean</convert>
                        <convert type="ConditionalShowHide">Blink</convert>
               </widget>

and overwrite it by this

<screen name="StandbySummary" position="0,0" size="132,64" id="1">
    <widget source="global.CurrentTime" render="Label" position="6,4" size="120,24" font="Regular;18" halign="center" valign="center">

    <widget source="global.CurrentTime" render="Label" position="6,32" size="120,32" font="Regular;24" halign="center" valign="center">

is there an easy way to find this text

[eidii®]

Open file with notepad ++ (windows) or a linux editor and by search function search :

<screen name="StandbySummary" position="0,0" size="132,64" id="1">

Is very important id=1 that means LCD display because id=2 is OLED display.

thanks for all your help eidii and porto, thanks for the modified skin saved me from probablely screwing my display up,its back now how it was before, my personal choice dont like the big time in standby

[eidii®]

The reason is because the image (and the skin) is the same for all the boxes and in DM800 (very little LCD) DATE + TIME doesn`t fit.....but as you can see is very easy to get it customized.

Regards.

I have recently updated firmware to DE4.1, but cannot get date and time displayed with modified skin xml as used before

[eidii®]

Did you check the display brighness level?

[pace508]

I have not touch them from updating to DE4.1, just FTPed modified skin to the receiver
