Start by opening the International Preferences panel, and clicking the Formats tab.
In the Dates section, click Customize. Click the Show pop-up and select your choice of Short, Medium, etc. Now place the elements you want in the small "work area," by dragging and dropping them from the Date Elements section. Once placed, you can click on some elements to see other options (Wednesday or Wed, for instance). Once you've built the date string you want, click once in the work area, and hit Command-A then Command-C to select the string and copy it. Now click Cancel to close the window without making any changes.
In the Times section, click Customize, and set the Show pop-up to Medium. In the small work area below the pop-up, place the curser where you want the date elements to start, and click to position the cursor. Now hit Command-V to paste the elements you just copied. You can further add characters and spaces to customize the look. If you want to remove an element (i.e. the year), click on it and use the Delete key. Click OK, and you'll see the results in the menubar.
I guess I'm doing something wrong...I made all the changes as you detailed, but the changes I've entered in the "time" section are not showing up in the menu bar...
I used wclock, but switched to menucalendarclock because it's just as customizable and also has iCal integration. It's a very cool program. You click on the date in the menu bar and today's schedule drops down. you also have a little calendar of the month and you can either scroll over the dates to see what you have, click on them, or double click them to open them in iCal. Very beautiful interface.
