Display time (Openbox, bottom right) in other format (12 -> 24 hour) ?

I am using Archbang i686 (Kernel: 3.3.7-1-ARCH).

The time (bottom right) in the Openbox GUI is displayed in 12 hour format (AM/PM).
I would like to change that to a 24 hour format.
Do you have to configure that in Openbox or in Arch ?

My /etc/rc.conf has
LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8"
I would like to keep it like that, and only change the time/date display format.

Where can I configure that time format display setting?

Look at the clock/time settings in ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc

I have:

# CLOCK
#---------------------------------------------
time1_format = %m/%d  %H:%M
time1_font =  sans 10

And the format is 06/04 16:31
But you can really do anything you want (don't forget to restart tint2 though)

Thanks!
Marvelous! I see it also in the OpenBox right click menu: Preferences > tint2 config.

I edited my ~/.config/tint2/tint2rc and restarted tint2 by typing "tint2" on the command line.
Thanks for your help!
