Displays one or more clocks which you can set to different timezones.
Features: - Each clock can have a defined GMT hour and minute offset - 24 hour or 12 hour formatting - Display or don't display seconds - Shows date per clock (can be hidden) - You can set a DST/Summer time per clock - Option to display leading zero for hours as well - Automatic new version checking! - You can access the config page by doubleclicking on any clock - You can change how many clocks you want "per row" and the widget height - A nice tabbed config view! - Alerts! Choose the clock you want, set the time and a message and the widget will start playing a sound at that time! - Choose clock GMT offset from a location list
New in 1.7: - Analog clocks!
Tip: want more precise control over where the clocks are? Run multiple copies of the widget. This way you can position them anywhere you want.
Note: if the config page doesn't open or the tabs don't work when clicking, try doubleclicking. There seems to be some kind of a performance issue with the analog rendering, but it doesn't seem to affect anything else.
What is the best method to upgrade? I downloaded the newest build and found two "World Clock" widgets in my list. I deleted the older one and had to rebuild the settings for the newer build.
You could implement live satellite picture with timezone monitor because now this is just not funny at all. Also you could use some real drawing program, drop the Photoshop -> PS2 <-. ;-D Can you make your clock speak with my friend Fred?
For those intrested, I posted an article about automatic updates to my blog. It also shows code for adding automatic update checking to your own widgets as well.
Update! Automatic version checking (accesses a page at one of my servers every time you start the widget) and easier access to the config page, just double click on any clock.
I have 24h in Windows.. and it doesn't show the leading zero for the hour. I think it looks better without it, but of course I could add that as an option as well.
Arranging the clocks runs into a certain problem: the widget has to have a defined width and height, which doesn't always seem to work properly if you set the width to some huge value like 2000 or such. I'll have to look into it, if it's actually workable somehow.
I've been thinking about adding that... but I'm not sure how should the alarming part work, as the widget can't show alert boxes for one. In any case, I'm looking into possible ways of doing it, so you might get an alarm feature sometime
I guess I could have a flash component or something like that which would play a sound or such. Need to check how others have done it.
I'll be updating this Widget soon with some fixes in the displaying of hours, the possibility of showing the date and daylight saving time functions. Stay tuned
Oh, I didn't know about that. Thanks for mentioning. I'll add a minute offset value to the configuration page in the next update... other things coming: 24/12 format selector for each clock, display seconds yes/no and possibly daylight savings time setting for each clock.
A widget I've always wanted. There is a problem with this one though. Not all time zones are on hour boundary, India for example is +5:30 GMT, something that can not be put into this widget.

Thinking about adding a feature which checks for version updates, although I'm not sure how it should be implemented.. yet.

Also, I'd like to be able to rearrange the clocks. When I have three, I can't have them in a line...
