Configuring KWorldClock with timezone clocks

If you need to know the time in a number of areas around the world, it may be useful to have KWorldClock show the applicable times. An example of how this can look is shown below.

Note the clocks for Perth, Sydney and Berlin at the bottom of the main KWorldClock window.

These clocks are added by using the right mouse button, and selecting the Clock entry, as shown below.

Clock selected.

This will allow access to the Add... selection, which will bring up a dialog box as shown below. The contents of the dialog box are determined from the closest city to the mouse cursor when you make the selection.

You can now make an appropriate selection for the clock label and the timezone. Note that you can change the label to whatever is appropriate, and the timezone as required. An example, for the small Australian town of Quairading, is shown below.

Settings dialog for Quairading.

When you select OK, the clock entry is added to those at the bottom of the main window. A screenshot, with the extra entry for Quairading, is shown below.

You might notice that Perth and Quairading are now showing the same information (since they are in the same timezone). In this case, the Perth entry is no longer required, so it can be removed. This can be done by again using the right mouse button on the clock display, and selecting the Remove item.

You can also edit entries by using the Edit... entry on right mouse button menu, which may be useful for making minor changes.
