For any Brazilian having issues, just add the line:

"LST":"-3"

to the World.ini code and the time should be correct!

Cheers!!!

Hey, I can't seem to get the World.ini file to give me the correct time. It states 20:00, when it should really be giving me 19:00.
The problem started happening yesterday after the clocks changed. (forward an hour)
Here is my weather code: CAXX0504

Help would be appreciated since I rely on this clock for my computer.

I'm in CAXX also, and have the same problem, it depends what time zone you are in, but in my case i am in EST -5, and I fixed it by editing the following file:
Windows 7: C:\Users\#username#\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Enigma\Sidebar\World\World.ini
CTRL + F: "EDT" under [MeasureTimeZone]
and change "-4" to "-5"

I found this through trial and error.

Hi,

I ran into the same (or similar) problem: with the change to daylight saving time my "world " showed the time off by one hour. Yahoo correctly gives the timezone as CEST and the offset in world.ini (+2.0) is correct as well.

A bit of experimenting showed that the DST correction seems to get applied even though it is already included in the timezone offset (CEST is +2, CET is +1).

Solution: just set DaylightSavingTime=0

so, in world.ini

Code: Select all

[MeasureTime]
Measure=Time
TimeZone=[MeasureTimeZone]
; DST offset already incorporated in [Measure Time Zone] e.g. CE_S_T
; this should make sure it is not applied twice
DaylightSavingTime=0
DynamicVariables=1

[MeasureReal1]
Measure=Time
TimeZone=[MeasureTimeZone]
; ditto
DaylightSavingTime=0
DynamicVariables=1
Format="%#H.%M.%S  ·  %a"
Substitute="Sun":"SUN","Mon":"MON","Tue":"TUE","Wed":"WED","Thu":"THU","Fri":"FRI","Sat":"SAT"

Ok, I have a question about world time, I'm in the United States and we observe DST here however some countries don't. I am having a problem with Japan's time zone being shown as GMT +10 instead of +9 right now even though they don't observe DST. How do I go about fixing that problem? Should I just change the GMT offset? or is there a more permanent fix since I don't see a way to change DST settings on a per clock basis?
