I did it like this:

1. Create a script "worldtimes.sh" and put your places and preferred date formatting in it. For me this looks like:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "London : " `TZ=Europe/London date "+%a %H:%M"`
echo "Perth  : " `TZ=Australia/Perth date "+%a %H:%M"`
echo "NOLA   : " `TZ=America/Mexico_City date "+%a %H:%M"`
2. make it executable (I did this by getting root access and chmod a+x worldtimes.sh) and save it somewhere (but not in /home/user/MyDocs)

3. Use the desktop command execution widget to run that script

You can change the date format as per http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-u...s-for-display/
You can find all of the supported timezones by looking in /usr/share/zoneinfo/ (WARNING: inexperienced users, don't mess with these files, just look at them to work out names). I also found a list online at http://www.vmware.com/support/develo.../timezone.html, but it may not be exactly the same list, I am not sure.

You could also do a single clock per widget with the command as
Code:
TZ=Europe/London date "+%a %H:%M"
and then just add one new widget for each timezone.

Ben

PS If anyone knows a more appropriate timezone for New Orleans, please let me know - the TZ=CST style format doesn't seem to work and New Orleans isn't in /usr/share/zoneinfo/America.
Also anyone know a better way to format/line the times up nicely in the display?

Maybe it's possible to show the date in this format: Wednesday 9 March 2010 ?

Thanks for this guide Ben. Worked perfectly (only had to dig around for the actual command to run when creating the command).

I tweaked Custom Operator Name Widget:


Now I have date on every desktop, and unused empty space on top of the desktop is in use.

I created small script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
set $(date +%d\ %m\ %Y)
gconftool -s /apps/connui-cellular/operator_name_online $1.\ $2.\ $3 --type=string
and fcron to execute that at midnight.

I could not find any other way to schedule script than fcron.
