Multiple clocks on desktop

Question

I need to constantly check time for multiples timezones, I run kubuntu and I need to change the timezone every time to do that (or check on the web).

I couldn't find any app that could show multiples clocks for different timezones on my desktop, is there any app of this kind?

Answer 1

You can use Screenlets clock widget to show time with different time zone. In the image I am using two clocks with 2 different time zone.

• First you need to install screenlets. Install it using sudo apt-get install screenlets.

• Now Open Screenlets manager and add two clock on the desktop.

• Now Right click on the Clock present on your desktop and goto properties -> options -> clocks and set the Time Zone.
• Repeat it for other clock.

Answer 2

You should look into Conky, you could modify it so it shows you different time zones.

Local: $alignr ${time %H:%M:%S}
UTC: $alignr ${utime %H:%M:%S}
CST: $alignr ${tztime /America/Chicago %H:%M:%S}

Would display the Local time, UTC time, and CST time.

Here is the Ubuntu install guide!
