Many clocks many timezones?

[Old_Bones]

Howdy, rainmeter gurus.

Can I use rain to display several clocks across the top of my screen in different timezones? Such as Amsterdam, GMT, Moscow, Sidney, Eve online, etc.

There is no shortage of apps and websites that display the time in various places but they are all ugly as hell and I don't want to look at them.

Find a clock you like and duplicate the skin as many times as you want time zones. Make sure that each .ini file is in its own folder. Then, open up the .ini files and find the section that contains the line "Measure=Time". In that section, add the line "TimeZone=#", but replace number with the time zone offset you want to use. For example, "TimeZone=-5.0" would be EST. Depending on the skin, there may be more than one time measure, so you will need to make the same change in those measures too.

This is how my clock is formatted in the .ini file. Can you help me by providing me with exactly what I should add to be able to make this alternate time zone functionality work? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Add TimeZone=<yourtimezone> to all measures that have Measure=Time. Replace <yourtimezone> with the offset of the time zone you want. E.g. TimeZone=+3.0.

Oh, and use code tags to make your post less bulky when posting code:

You can just make multiple measures for each one

Example

[mTime1]
Measure=Time
Format=%#I:%M

[mTime2]
Measure=Time
Format=%#I:%M
TimeZone=+2.0

----------------

[Time1]
Meter=String
MeasureName=mTime1
X=0
Y=0

[Time2]
Meter=String
MeasureName=mTime2
X=50
Y=0
