I cannot reproduce this...

Bug?
Even tho I have set the location to London, World Clocks shows Local time as Cardiff.
I can set London or Cardiff and do not see a difference with the stock clock for that matter. Can you give some additional info?

Missing?
Non-local items in World Clocks cannot be clicked on to show World Clock Details including the map etc.
Also clicking on Local time in World Clocks should resolve to "Adjust Date and Time"
The absence of the map has been mentioned before. It won't be included by me. The details screen is also absent. It does not add much extra in my opinion, as does the possibility to click on localtime in the worldclock screen.

Missing?
The glow around the buttons on clicking is not there.
Useful to provide positive feedback of pressing the screen/button.
I think it is harder to achive in QT. Not my intention to change this.

Missing?
When setting alarm the original version remembers your last alarm time, worldclocks always shows current time.
(Not a problem for me)
I think the replacement clock approche is more convenient. The last alarm time not interesting most of the time, often you want to set an alarm an hour or so from now.

Missing?
When selecting repeat in alarm original version shows full day name 'Wednesday' where as worldclock shows 'Wed' for example.
(Again not a problem, just looks odd when you are used to the original)
The stock clock uses full daynames, and as soon as too many days are selected for repeat, it switches to short daynames. The replacement clock always shows the short daynames. I think you will get used to that soon. I could have a look at it though.

And before it is reported as a difference : the replacement clock also shows the year in the worldclock screen, the stock clock does not. Also: the stock clock shows a clock picture with the time in the worldclock screen, the replacement clock does not.

It is not going to be a one on one copy of the original, but should have a very comparable experience in my opinion.

Thanks for your report, sixwheeledbeast.
