Date and Time

People are really liking the new Date and Time applet, mostly because of its ability to
add two additional times for other time zones (as mentioned in Chapter 1, “General Tips
and Tricks of the Masters”).


There are still the following three tabs:


Date and Time —Enables you to change the date, time, or time zone.


Additional Clocks—Enables you to configure two additional clocks with their own time

zones. When you hover your mouse over the time, you see the time in these other locations.


Internet Time-Enables you to synchronize with systems on the Internet for the proper
time. You can change the time to synchronize or stop this from happening altogether.
You can force it to occur immediately or change the servers it checks the time with.


What everyone seems to love is the new clock graphic that displays when you click the
time, along with the fact that now you can scroll through the calendar and look at other
dates without fear of changing the date. You cannot change the date unless you go into
the settings, so you can scroll through the calendar all you want.
