I want to customise the top panel date time format as a strftime string.



I have already achieved this by installing the very splendid 'Clock Override' extension, but looking at dconf documentation, it looks like there should be a simple way of customising the clock myself with a keyfile and/or gschema.



I assume that the top panel clock already has a keyfile somewhere, as the settings for clock-format (24h/12h), clock-show-date (b), clock-show-seconds (b) and clock-show-weekday (b) are present in dconf-editor and via gsettings.



However the documentation doesn't seem to match the reality.
For example, the gnome documentation indicates that keyfiles should be placed into the /etc/dconf/db/database.d/ directory, but that directory doesn't exist on my system, so where is dconf getting all it's keys from?



Can anyone point me to some clear instructions or guidance on adding new settings to dconf.
