Clock screenlet question...

[chadwit]

In the clock screenlet, for the time zone setting, what format should that be in? (I'm in the central U.S. time zone...)

thanks...

Which clock screenlet? There are quite a few to choose from...

Timezones are usually UTC or GMT based, so -0500 for central US iirc.

I'm not entirely sure what your question is, though, in as much as I'm not sure about timezone "formats".

Anyway, I hope I answered your question...

Oh, and I'm new here but in most communities I've been involved in before "bumping" topics is frowned upon... so you might want to take that into consideration. There is an Unanswered Posts group but I'm not sure how active they are (as I said I only just joined this community).

It just says "clock screenlet" in the properties. it's the default one that showed up when I installed screenlets.

Your suggestion worked.
Thank you.

By format I meant text format, i.e. -5.00, GMT-5, UTC-5, etc.

I am new as well. I wasn't aware that bumping was frowned upon, nor did I know that there was an "Unanswered Posts" group. Thanks for all of your help and insight...

Bit old but I just hit and solved this problem on the default clock packaged with what I installed form the screelets repo in hardy. I used the same timezone as the gnome panel clock which in my case was Australia/Melbourne. What is typically GMT time for here, +10 from memory didnt work.

right click on the clock screenlet. goto 'properties'. the 'options' tab. the 'clock' subtab. the timezone field should be set to "localtime" (no quotes). time offset should be 0.0. this only works if your system timezone is set correctly in ubuntu.
