The Easy Way to Keep Track of Multiple Time Zones in Ubuntu
================================================================================
![date-time](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/date-time.jpg)
**Whether Im making sure that a tweet about a Chromebook sale in Australia hits those down under when awake or scheduling a Skype call with *Sam Tran*, the developer half of Ohso, I work with multiple time zones in mind.**
And therein lies a problem. If you know me youll know that I have the memory capacity of a goldfish running Windows Vista (i.e., not very good). I can barely recall what I got up to yesterday, much less remember the time differential between my door and the foot of Golden Gate bridge!
To help, I use widgets and menu items to keep me in sync. I move across multiple operating systems in the space of a regular working day, mobile and desktop, but only one lets me set up world clocks the quickest and easiest.
**And it happens to be the one whose name is above the door.**

### Add World Clocks to Ubuntu Date/Time Applet ###
The default date-time indicator in Unity comes with supports for adding and viewing multiple time zones. No add-ons, no extra packages required.
1. Click on the clock applet and select the **Time & Date Settings** entry
1. In the **Clock** tab, check the box next to **Time in Other Locations**
1. Click the **Choose Locations** button
1. Tap **+** and enter the name of the location
#### Other Desktop Environments ####
The default clock applet in **KDE Plasma** has a similar feature and flow:
1. Right-click on the digital clock widget and select **Digital Clock Settings**
1. Click the **Time Zones** section
1. Enter the name of a city in the search field
1. Click **Ok**
The extensible nature of **GNOME Shell** sees a slew of World Clock options available to fill the gap left by its default time ticker, with [multi clock][1] being my personal favourite. The same goes again for **Cinnamon**, whose panel applet repository has ample choices, like the super slick “**World Clock Calendar**” .

**XFCE** and **LXDE** arent quite as generous, with the only out-of-the-box “workarounds” being **multiple clocks** added to the panel, each manually configured to a given locale. Both do support indicator applets, so if youre not dependent on Unity you can install/add the standalone date/time indicator.
**Budgie** is a little too young to make corner case demands of, while Pantheon I havent tried — Ill let you fill me in on that score in the comments.
#### Desktop Apps, Widgets & Conky Themes ####
Of course, panel applets are just one way to keep tabs of the time in other countries multiple time zones. If youre not fussed about panel access there are various **desktop apps** available, many of which work cross-distro and/or cross-platform.
**GNOME Clocks** is one such app and is available to install straight from the Ubuntu Software Center in 14.04 LTS+. **Conky** is a potential alternative (though I havent yet found a pre-made theme designed for the purpose) and lightweight Chrome Apps like [Calendar Clock][2] will work anywhere Chrome does, free of the browser.
**Do you keep tabs on time zones? If so, what app, method or widget do you use to stay on top? **

Ubuntu中跟踪多个时区的简捷方法
================================================================================
![date-time](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/date-time.jpg)
**我是否要确保在我醒来时或者安排与*山姆陈*Ohso的半个开发商进行Skype通话时澳大利亚一个关于Chromebook销售的推特已经售罄我大脑同时在多个时区下工作。**
那里头有个问题如果你认识我你会知道我的脑容量也就那么丁点跟金鱼差不多里头却塞着像Windows Vista这样一个臃肿货也就是不是很好。我几乎记不得昨天之前的事情更记不得我的门和金门大桥脚之间的时间差
作为臂助,我使用一些小部件和菜单项来让我保持同步。在我常规工作日的空间里,我在多个操作系统间游弋,涵盖移动系统和桌面系统,但只有一个让我最快速便捷地设置“世界时钟”。
**而它刚好是那个名字放在门上方的东西。**
![](http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/timezones-300x180.jpg)
### 添加世界时钟到Ubuntu日期/时间小应用 ###
Unity中默认的日期-时间指示器提供了添加并查看多个时区的支持,不需要附加组件,不需要额外的包。
1. 点击时钟小应用然后uxuanze**时间和日期设置**’条目
1. 在‘**时钟**’标签中,选中‘**其它位置的时间**’选框
1. 点击‘**选择位置**’按钮
1. 点击‘**+**’,然后输入位置名称那个
#### 其它桌面环境 ####
**KDE Plasma**中默认的时钟小应用有类似的功能,其它功能如下:
1. 在数字时钟小部件上右击,然后选择‘**数字时钟设置**
1. 点击‘**时区**’项
1. 在搜索区输入城市名
1. 点击‘**确定**
**GNOME Shell**的可扩展特性可以看到有许多世界时钟选项可用,可以用它的默认时间表填补左边的空白,我个人喜欢‘[多个时钟][1]’。对于**Cinnamon**桌面而言也是一样的,它的‘面板小部件’仓库有丰富的可选部件,如超级顺滑的“**世界时钟日历**”。

Cinnamon 2.4中的世界时钟日历
**XFCE**和**LXDE**就不那么慷慨了,除了自带的“工作区”作为**多个时钟**添加到面板外每个都需要手动配置以指定位置。两个都支持指示器小部件所以如果你没有依赖于Unity你可以安装/添加单独的日期/时间指示器。
**Budgie**还刚初出茅庐不足以胜任角落里的需求因为Pantheon我还没试过——希望你们通过评论来让我知道得更多。
#### Desktop Apps, Widgets & Conky Themes桌面应用、不见和Conky主题 ####
当然,面板小部件只是收纳其它国家多个时区的一种方式。如果你不满意通过面板去访问,那里还有各种各样的**桌面应用**可供使用,其中许多都可以跨版本,甚至跨平台使用。
**GNOME时钟**就是这样一个应用在Ubuntu 14.04 LTS及其后续版本中你可以通过Ubuntu软件中心直接安装。**Conky**是一个很有潜力的备选(尽管我还没发现有哪个预制主题为此目的设计),而其它像[日历时钟][2]这样轻量级的Chrome应用可以在任何安装有Chrome这个免费浏览器的地方工作。
**你也关注时区吗?如果是,你使用什么应用、采用什么方法或者小部件让它显示在顶层呢?**
