You can do it by changing the [MeasureTime] line Format=%R to Format=%r.

You can use any combination of these Time Format codes to control how the time is displayed:
%H: Hour in 24-hour format (00 - 23)
%I: Hour in 12-hour format (01 - 12)
%M: Minute as number (00 - 59)
%p: AM/PM indicator for 12-hour clock
%r: Full 12-hour clock time. (e.g. "10:55:03 pm")
%R: 24-hour HH:MM clock time. (e.g. "22:55")
%S: Second as number (00 - 59)

I am not sure how your skin is using [MeasureTimeampm] since the time was set for 24 hour display; you may need to change other things if you end up with double AM/PM indications on the time display.

Hi -

I am no expert, but I tinker with a lot of time and weather skins.

The docs for Rainmeter are really awesome, with examples: https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/time/

In this link you will see the following two entries:
%r: Full 12-hour clock time. (e.g. "10:55:03 pm")
%R: 24-hour HH:MM clock time. (e.g. "22:55")
In your case your current code is using %R for the format code. Change it to %r and see if that does the trick.

Hope it helps!
