Chapter 2. Using KWorldClock

The main display

When you start KWorldClock, you will see a small window appear, as shown below.


Screenshot

The light section (which in the screenshot above covers Antartica, Australia, eastern and southern Africa and most of Asia; plus the Indian Ocean and the western part of the Pacific Ocean) shows the area that is currently experiencing daylight, while the darker section (which in the screenshot above covers western Europe, North and South America, and the Arctic zone) shows the area that is currently experiencing night. The border between the dark and light section is the area that is experiencing morning or evening twilight.

Each small black square indicates a city or population centre. If you locate the mouse over (or near) one of the black squares, you will see the date and time that is current for that location. In the screenshot above, the tiny island of Pitcairn is shown.

You may find it more convenient to expand the window, so that there is more space between the various squares. Remember that you can expand the window by either clicking on the maximise button (second button from the right in the top right hand corner) or by using the mouse to drag the corner of the main window. An expanded window, with Melbourne (Australia) now selected, is shown below.
