Panel Date Format extension for Gnome Shell

Allows to customize the date format on the panel.

If Dash to Panel is being used, every panel is updated.

Changing format

You can use dconf Editor to change format. Or simply from the terminal:

dconf write /org/gnome/shell/extensions/panel-date-format/format "'%Y-%m-%d'"

The format strings understood by this function are a subset of the strftime(). The following format specifiers are supported.

The update tick synchronized with the system clock by connecting to notify::clock on main.panel.statusArea.dateMenu._clock, so you have to enable Settings -> System -> Date & Time -> Clock & Calendar -> Seconds to display %S.

Installation
