Clock Widget - adjust time?

[sims]

Playing with LC 8.0.2

Clock Widget is off by one hour.
Do such widgets have any means to adjust them?

Hi Jim,

either choose the Properties Inspector and choose a timezone that reflects your timezone plus daylight saving if applicable

For me living in UTC + 1 + daylight saving = UTC + 2

or use a script

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put the last word of the internet date into tTime -- something like "+0200"
   put tTime * 36 into tOffset -- to get to the seconds offset from UTC
   set the timeZone of widget "Clock" to tOffset
end mouseUp

internet date has the current offset from UTC for your system clock, including daylight saving if in effect.

Kind regards

This corrects for time zones that have additional 30 minutes offset from UTC

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put the last word of the internet date into tTime -- something like "+0200"
   if char - 2 of tTime = 3 then put 5 into char - 2 of tTime -- catch half hour offset like India, New Territories AUS
   put tTime * 36 into tOffset -- to get to the seconds offset from UTC
   set the timeZone of widget "Clock" to tOffset
end mouseUp

Kind regards

Hi Jim,

atually there are some bugs in the Clock widget. That is why the local time is not settable as it should.

I hope that it will be fixed soon.

But with the workaround above it works right now.

Kind regards
