Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I'm using Gentoo and Gnome Shell, and I have a very large monitor. Since space in the menu bar is not an issue, I would like the clock to read "Monday April 16, 12:04 AM" instead of "Mon Apr 16, 12:04 AM". In my opinion you'd ought to be able to change the clock format in the "Date and Time Settings" window, or at least using gsettings. That's not the case, though, as far as I can tell. I assume that all I have to do is change "%a %b %d, %I:%M %p" to "%A %B %d, %I:%M %p" in some file somewhere, but I can't find it. I've looked through my system for files that might be related to the Gnome Shell clock or localization settings, and spent a few hours Googling things, with no luck. I'd appreciate any information anyone has on how to change the clock, or on why it isn't as easy as it should be.
I haven't used these forums much, so please let me know if I've done anything incorrectly.

break;

The line you modify depends on what options you want.
I modified the time with date but no seconds in 24 hour mode.
It may just be my machine, but it took a loooong time for the shell to restart using Alt+F3 and r

It took about 30 seconds
That did it! I had found that folder, but I overlooked dateMenu.js. My shell restarted without an unusual delay.
