First attempt to create a geeklet. Displays formatted date and time on the desktop. You can rearrange, resize, etc. by opening geeklet.

Google "imagemagick geektool". You'll find a tutorial on how to do it.

hi. You unfortunately can't just have the geeklet running on western time (the california time zone), unless you have your whole computer set to run on it, because geektool gets the time off your main system (I hope I make sense to you)

Just run a shell geeklet with the following and set it to refresh every 60s:

TZ=US/Pacific date +"%H:%M%n%Z"

and this will display, the time in the TZ and TZ

02:01

PDT

For all the TZ, take a look in /usr/share/zoneinfo/

Don't think a geeklet can do that; maybe someone else knows for sure.

But as an alternative you can download a free widget to find times in various time zones.

When I did this it put it on the top middle and won't let me rearrange it or take it off. What should I do?
