+===== Hidden Settings =====
+These hidden settings can be manually created using the xfce4-settings-editor and must be created as children of the "clock" plugin. A simple one-liner can be used to create the property and is displayed below for hidden element.
+?time-config-tool
+The default time-config-tool is "time-admin". If it is available on your system, the "Time and Date Settings" button will be enabled in clock properties. You can customize what application is used for setting data and time by setting this property.
+You can use this one-liner to create the property:
+<code>COMMAND="APP_TO_RUN"; xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p $(xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv | grep clock | awk '{print $1}')/time-config-tool -t string -s "$COMMAND" -n</code>
+Change APP_TO_RUN to the name of the custom tool that you want to use.
