I couldn't find Jsmorleys TextClock 1.2 on here, so I linked it to DeviantArt.
I have the clock on my desktop instead of the normal taskbar clock, which I removed. I'm trying to keep the desktop minimalistic, so I don't want to clutter it with the date as well. However, sometimes I find it necessary to have the date, so I tried to put the date on in a tooltip, by adding:

Done! It works!
But why?
In addition to CyberTheWorm's reply, note that %A %B %d %Y are format codes, which are used correctly only by Format and TimeStampFormat options of Time measures. A string meter doesn't know them, you can't use them in the Text or TooltipText option of a such String meter, to get the appropriate time / date information. A String meter doesn't recognise that it should return the appropriate date / time values. That's why the meter shows %A %B %d %Y, as it is, not the appropriate values.
