Clocks for multiple timezones in GNOME Shell












19















I looked everywhere but I couldn't find a way to display multiple clocks in GNOME 3. In classic GNOME and Unity, it is possible. Also, for some strange reason, additional timezones cannot be added to the clock using the time-date applet in classic GNOME. Any solutions?

Some answers are outdated in this thread.
To install multiple clocks, you need gnome-clocks Install gnome-clocks which is now available in the official repos.



Install via the software center



(Note: The button above points to the snap store, which does have gnome-clocks. But the snap application doesn't fully work on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, the times don't show up.)



Or, to do it from the command line:




  1. Open a terminal(CtrlAltT)

  2. Fire sudo apt install gnome-clocks to grab them!


Logout and login after installing and it will appear in your notification menu.

Today there is MultiClock, a Gnome 3 Extension that puts another clock into your bar.



Really useful and allow multiple timezones.




  • https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/605/multiclock/

  • Source: https://github.com/mibus/MultiClock


Only drawback is you need to know how to edit JavaScript for its configuration:



gedit ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/MultiClock@mibus.org/extension.js


But it's not hard. In the file change the following variables according to your timezone parameters



const Timezones = {
'UTC': { hr: 0, min: 0, tzname: 'UTC' },
'Australia/Adelaide': { hr: 10, min: 30, tzname: 'ACDT' },
'Australia/Perth': { hr: 8, min: 0, tzname: 'WST' },
};





share|improve this answer


























  • I think the correct file which has the Timezones entries is extension.js, not metadata.json. I have made an edit accordingly. Please check and reply.

  • This extension sounds great but I got errors when editing the list and can't use it anymore. Had to move to something else.

This GNOME extension called Top Bar Clocks lets the user add multiple clocks to the top bar.

    This combined within installing gnome-clocks did exactly what I wanted. I added the clocks in the Gnome Clocks application and after a reboot top get the plugin working they were visible in the top bar.

Have you tried the clock applet from the Screenlets? You can have multiple clocks set to different time zones.
You can install screenlet by doing sudo apt-get install screenlets in terminal.



You can add/remove individual clocks. And set individual/all clocks to autostart at login.






share|improve this answer
























  • I've used screenlets before. They are not really stable. I would prefer having something integrated with the Gnome clock (or atleast that is on the panel). An extension perhaps.

I use FoxClocks, which is an add-on for Firefox.



While it is not in Unity/Gnome, I normally have Firefox open anyhow.

    I agree with the solutions posted above (specifically gnome-clocks). I just wanted to add one thing (and I do not have enough reputation to comment). You actually do not need to log out and log back in, it should be sufficient if you just restart gnome (ALT + F2, type r and [ENTER], your shell should restart and additional clocks should appear)

      An extension that puts different clocks directly on the top bar is Panel Work Clock Lite. It appears to be well maintained as of the writing of this answer.

        Timezone is a beautiful GNOME extension to see people with their timezones. More info see at the github-page.
        enter image description here
        1. Install the extension (when your GNOME Shell is ready for it)

        2. Create a text-file with the name people.json (*example code see below)

        3. Place the file where you like.

        4. Edit the settings of the extensions in Ubuntu Tweak or directly on the extension-page when you have the Firefox Gnome extension add-on and set where the json-file is placed, e.g. file:///home/USERNAME/people.json.

        5. Logout & login or Alt-F2 with command r (or maybe a restart is needed)



        *Example code for people.json:



        [
        {
        "name": "California",
        "avatar": "file:///home/USERNAME/Pictures/California.JPG",
        "city": "Los Angeles",
        "tz": "America/Los_Angeles"
        },
        {
        "name": "Hans Pacquiao",
        "avatar": "file:///home/cds/Pictures/Hans.JPG",
        "city": "Indiana",
        "tz": "America/Indiana/Knox"
        },
        {
        "name": "Samar friends",
        "avatar": "file:///home/USERNAME/Pictures/Samarfriends.ico",
        "city": "Philippines",
        "tz": "Asia/Manila"
        }
        ]


        For more time zones information, see wikipedia.

          I found gnome-clocks on Launchpad. It can be installed with:



          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install gnome-clocks


          As of 18.04 LTS. It looks like this:

          Today there is MultiClock, a Gnome 3 Extension that puts another clock into your bar.



          Really useful and allow multiple timezones.




          • https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/605/multiclock/

          • Source: https://github.com/mibus/MultiClock


          Only drawback is you need to know how to edit JavaScript for its configuration:



          gedit ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/MultiClock@mibus.org/extension.js


          But it's not hard. In the file change the following variables according to your timezone parameters



          const Timezones = {
          'UTC': { hr: 0, min: 0, tzname: 'UTC' },
          'Australia/Adelaide': { hr: 10, min: 30, tzname: 'ACDT' },
          'Australia/Perth': { hr: 8, min: 0, tzname: 'WST' },
          };

          • I think the correct file which has the Timezones entries is extension.js, not metadata.json. I have made an edit accordingly. Please check and reply.

            This combined within installing gnome-clocks did exactly what I wanted. I added the clocks in the Gnome Clocks application and after a reboot top get the plugin working they were visible in the top bar.

          Have you tried the clock applet from the Screenlets? You can have multiple clocks set to different time zones.
          You can install screenlet by doing sudo apt-get install screenlets in terminal.



          You can add/remove individual clocks. And set individual/all clocks to autostart at login.

          • I've used screenlets before. They are not really stable. I would prefer having something integrated with the Gnome clock (or atleast that is on the panel). An extension perhaps.

                  I agree with the solutions posted above (specifically gnome-clocks). I just wanted to add one thing (and I do not have enough reputation to comment). You actually do not need to log out and log back in, it should be sufficient if you just restart gnome (ALT + F2, type r and [ENTER], your shell should restart and additional clocks should appear)

                                  2. Create a text-file with the name people.json (*example code see below)

                                  3. Place the file where you like.

                                  4. Edit the settings of the extensions in Ubuntu Tweak or directly on the extension-page when you have the Firefox Gnome extension add-on and set where the json-file is placed, e.g. file:///home/USERNAME/people.json.
