Multiple clocks on desktop

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?

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.

enter image description here

  • 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.

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!
