XFCE and LXDE aren’t quite as generous, with the only out-of-the-box “workarounds” being multiple clocks added to the panel, each manually configured to a given locale. The same goes again for Cinnamon, whose ‘panel applet’ repository has ample choices, like the super slick “ World Clock Calendar”. The extensible nature of GNOME Shell sees a slew of World Clock options available to fill the gap left by its default time ticker, with ‘multi clock’ being my personal favourite. Enter the name of a city in the search field.Right-click on the digital clock widget and select ‘Digital Clock Settings’.The default clock applet in KDE Plasma has a similar feature and flow: Tap ‘+’ and enter the name of the location.In the ‘Clock’ tab, check the box next to ‘ Time in Other Locations’.Click on the clock applet and select the ‘Time & Date Settings’ entry.The default date-time indicator in Unity comes with supports for adding and viewing multiple time zones. I move across multiple operating systems in the space of a regular working day, mobile and desktop, but only one lets me set up ‘world clocks’ the quickest and easiest.Īnd it happens to be the one whose name is above the door.Īdd World Clocks to Ubuntu Date/Time Applet
