In version 6 we finally got the ability to at least change it to 12 hour time, even if we couldn't make it default to it. Now the feature is gone? That's a step backwards!
I know, it's a minor issue but it's still annoying.

...and you could change the default before too. In the skin XML you'll have a section similar to:
The 'text' element is the initial one - in this case %fullhour (24 hour). The 'text2' element is the alternate one that is displayed if you click on it - in this case %hour12 (12 hour). If you swap them around the default order is changed.
<textzone>
<pos x="806" y="6"/>
<size width="80" height="18"/>
<text font="LCD" size="15" align="center" weight="bold" color="#d1d3d4" format="%fullhour"/>
<text2 font="LCD" size="15" align="center" weight="bold" color="#d1d3d4" format="%hour12"/>
</textzone>

Very nice SBDJ. I will use that!

Hmm, clicking it doesn't do anything for me. Interestingly, I have 6.0.8 installed too and now clicking on the time on that one does nothing as well. But, thanks SBDJ for the XML tip. That's a better solution anyway!

SBDJ, exactly how do you change that? I mean, from the beginning. Clicking on it does nothing.

If clicking on it does nothing then the skin author probably hasn't included it.
To edit the skin xml:
* Open explorer and go to Virtuall DJ skin folder
* Locate your skin and unzip, go into the new folder you created when unzipping
* Open XML in Notepad for your skin
* Search for %fullhour and replace with %hour12
* Save and close XML
* Select all files you unzipped and rezip them
* Give zip file a new name and move it to the VDJ Skins folder.
* Delete the folder created during unzipping to keep things clean.
* Run VDJ and select new skin
