Description: BK_Worldclock is a simple theme to display the current time and date plus a configurable number of different time zones.
Timezone displays are added and deleted through the "configure theme" sub menu. BK_Worldclock uses pytz (http://pytz.sourceforge.net/) to convert between different time zones. All time zones (500+) supported by pytz are available. For each timezone it is possible to configure a custom label under which it will appear on the screen.Last changelog:
2005-02-27 updated package to include pytz 2005-02-24 Initial release
ok, so ignore my previous posting, i have sorted out how to add/delete time zones, etc. etc., but when i use the pytz time zones, they are nowhere near the right times???i googled actual times, and timezones, and even tried setting them with GMT- or + as to their locations, and the time was still wack???am i doing sumthin wrong or are the timezone files programmed wrong??
thanks
and forget i ever posted....i sorted it all out...sorry to get ahead of myself and ask for help...tho i do u usally need it when it comes to dealing with linux...only been at it for about 30 hours, so pretty much still "shiittin in diapers"
great clock btw.!!!
Looks as if you did not download pytz to handle the timezones as described in the ReadMe. Either follow the instructions to get pytz or download the new package I've uploaded yesterday. It includes pytz and should work out of the box.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
pytz was installed as per the install ReadMe file and no it doesn;t work, as I stated configure themes appears greyed out, I'll try the new file and see what happens.
Strange, I d/l the new file, extracted it as bk_worldclock2 and it runs ok, although, it appears identical to bk_worldclock original that I installed with the pytz files etc in the same place, anyway, it's running now, thx for a great app :)
Glad you like it!!!
I'll add more features as soon as I've time (meeting planner across timezones and color coding for working hours, etc...)
Stay tuned :-)

Well the clock part seems to run ok, but what about configure themes, it appears greyed out on my system ??? Running... SuperKaramba 0.35-2 KDE 3.3.2
