Title: 24 hour world-time desktop clocks
Post by: Oldminer on July 02, 2011, 09:20:27 AM
Does anyone know of any decent desktop clocks/gadgets available for Win 7 that show the time in various time zones around the world simultaneously? I've googled it and all I can find is shitty software from 2004 or clocks that only display in 12 hour format. I want something that can sit on my desktop permanently that show me the times at a glance.

cheers

I don't know about windows7 but in Vista you can do that with inbuilt windows sidebar gadgets. Simply add the clock gadget multiple times and set it to different time zones:

if you prefer 24h digital, you can try: http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=cb194986-22fc-43b5-97c2-21dd652fa51a&bt=1&pl=1

You can add clocks to the one on the left taskbar by clicking the date/time, going to "Change date and time settings...", and finally going to the Additional clocks tab.

I've got my set to Central USA, Eastern Time, and Seoul/Japan; it comes in very handy
