Quating the message of Rocky posted in his widget thread he was able to remove it by editing plist file :

You can remove the date but it requires modifying system files and as we cant do it through Winterboard ( Pitty )

to do it you need to edit a plist file iam Scottish so it will be the UK.plist i will need to edit.

Root of the device
/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/DateFormats/uk.plist

it looks like this inside the plist for no date you want to put 1 space like so.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>UIWeekdayNoYearDateFormat</key>
    <string> </string>
</dict>
</plist>

sorry for the double post!

i am also in the UK, please can you host that file?

all i get is 'bplist00�
_UIWeekdayNoYearDateFormat[EEEE, d MMM''

i have just tried making a new file with the body of text given above and it is still there.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE say this can be done for the time as well!

For time you just have to upload the empty font for clock available all over the forum and it will disapear

Use that empty clock font at your own risk I tried it with a complete failure matter of fact my phone had rebooted itself into safe mode I would make a backup before you try this

my plist looked nothing like this

Probably because it's in the binary format, you need to convert it using plutil or open it up with Property List Editor (part of the developer tools on your Leopard DVD).
To convert it with plutil, enter the following command into Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app):

plutil - convert xml

Then just drag the plist onto the terminal window and hit enter.
What do you do for US english?

Well I got a Pledit working so I can view the files but I changed the uk plist date file and when I booted my phone back up nothing happened so I am still looking for a way to remove the date and time

I emailed Saurik and here is the response

Those are not files, they are drawn via code. Eventually (but not yet) WinterBoard will have a feature that lets you change the style of these text items (including making them draw transparent or something similar). -J

alright, i know the LockClock font you guys downloaded is not working and it causes continuously respring. So I had a search and here is the work lockclock font. And the plist to hide the date is included as well.
P.S: backup those files first and then copy 'em to the exact folder.

Credit to alwin for the work font and Rokcy5 for the plist

EDIT: i have tried editing the file every way i can, i even deleted it and resprung... nothing. i dont think this file does anything!

Dude, untrusting much?

i have tried it, it works (the time part anyway) just try it, make a back up to be sure but dont demand pictorial evidence before you try anything.

Yes the font from the last one caused a constant respring... all you need to do if it does that is put the back up of the file back on the iphone. SSH opens even though it is respringing. fixed

however you will not need this info as IT WORKS. i know the last one caused problems, it did for me, but it is ok.

any way to remove the date yet?

oh fo sho! (that mean yes!)

can some one please please please inform how to get rid of it as the UK.PLIST file does nothing. as i have said before, i have deleted the file before and it did nothing!

Instead of removing it completely, is there a way to move its position to the bottom?
Thank you..
