We have another article about adding clocks from other time zones to your taskbar , but if you prefer to add them to your sidebar, or even your desktop, you can do that too.
In case you don’t have it already, you need to add the Clock gadget to the Windows Sidebar. To do that, click on the small “+” sign. Alternatively, you can right click on the Windows Sidebar and select Add Gadgets.
From the list of available gadgets, double click on the Clock gadget or drag and drop it to the Windows Sidebar. Also, you can right click on the gadget and then select Add.
You can add as many clocks as you want. However, you should keep in mind that only a maximum of six will be shown. If you have other gadgets enabled the maximum number of clocks that can be added will depend on the amount of space left on the Windows Sidebar.
Move your mouse over a clock and click on the small key that appears on the right side.
Now you can edit the properties of that clock. If you want to change its appearance, browse through the different available models using the two small arrows right beneath the clock picture. You can also type a name for the clock and choose the time zone.
When finished, click on OK. To configure the other clocks you enabled, repeat these steps for each of them. You can customize them as you want, to match your desktop background or Windows theme.
Gadgets can be removed from the sidebar and placed anywhere on the desktop. Click on a gadget and while you keep the left mouse button pressed, drag it to your desktop.
It’s quite hard the get all the clocks perfectly aligned because they don’t have an “auto arrange” option.
Once you have placed them where you want, you can also change their opacity (visibility). Right click on a clock, go to Opacity and select one of the available levels. This will make your clock partially see through, to the level you specify.
