Ubuntu 11.04’s panel clock Indicator – Indicator Datetime – has received a handful of new features in a recent update.
A location pin board, similar to that used during initial installation of Ubuntu, allows you to visually set your time zone; a speedy improvement over list trudging.
A wealth of customization options are also present in the alpha update, letting you opt to display: –
-
The weekday
-
The date
-
Time format (12/24 hour)
-
Seconds
Whilst the list of ‘clock menu’ options includes: –
-
Show a monthly calendar
-
Show week numbers in monthly calendar
-
Display evolution calendar events
-
Times in other locations
Previous method of changing indicator-datetime’s layout involved using dconf-editor. Now tailoring the clock to tick to your beat is never more than check-box away.
