somebody would want to use other timezone in his personal OS account. i mean timezone other than timezone used officially in the location where the user and the OS "live" and that is really used.
why somebody would want to see other time? :
maybe when clock is changed +-1 because of DST and the person wants not to switch, but wants to see clock as it was.
maybe that he has come to this OS recently from his permanent residence, and he has come not for long time, and he wants to feel time of his home. and maybe that he his home is not far away, just several kilometers, but he comes to workplace to another timezone, and he wants to use same clock at his home and work.
add at 2010-11-2 20:38 utc+3 : and may be remote users that use OS as hosting, and they want to use their timezone. (though, i am not sure, maybe, that feature is already built in ssh or like that, i do not have experience).

We have a lot of friends around a world, and it is convenient to know local time them have.

The gnome clock provides information about the weather, and the sunset and sunrise.

But this information is not available while offline.

Right now it is very easy to change the starting day in Evolution. (edit - preferences - Calendars and tasks - work week starts on:)


From ubuntu

It would be nice it there was an option to change it too in the gnome clock, as easy, and not having to change the "locales".

The Clock Applet in the Gnome Panel is used to display the locations of the cities (as red dots) when one chooses them from a list or supplies their co-ordinates, but when the user only wants a time-zone (EST, GMT, etc.) the world map appears without any of the (reference) locations and is simply a blue-and-white box needlessly occupying space.

Please take a look at this picture to see what I'm referring to: http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/9589/worldmapx.png

The gnome clock is a great tool for quickly checking your calendar dates and upcoming events. It works with evolution to display calendars, and evolution can import events from google calendar (and other sources). However, many people prefer to use Thunderbird or Gmail as their default application and Evolution is heavy, memory leaky and generally not everyone's favorite application.

We need to keep the usefulness of gnome clock without the dependency of evolution.

Simple Description:
The addition of live display Milliseconds and Microseconds to "Clock" or desktop clock which appears in the tool-bar.

Argument for:

The addition of Milliseconds and Microseconds Contributes to an overall working environment with a feel of precision while providing the user with a more fluid, realistic and exciting experience of the simple passage of time.

The new proposed and optional display of units would appear:

H(12 or 24):M:S:MLS(optional):MIS(optional)

It is very difficult to determine the total potential need for this addition to the existing clock options, however this in no way precludes the potential that it's inclusion brings with it.

The clock and the weather applet is one of the few things in a computer that change frequently so I'd like to see some new additions.

This way people could always see some new things when checking the weather, or the time.

Add the Metric Time format option in Ubuntu/Gnome's clock applet.

The default calender which appears when clock applet is clicked, starts with Sunday. I want the calender to show weeks starting with Monday.

Therefore there should a option to choose the calender format in the preferences.
