Gadget does not honor calendar time zone settings #24

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set your Google Calendar account to a different time zone setting than
the local system.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The appointments should display at local time in the time zone you've
selected, instead of being displayed in the time zone the local system is
set to. (Google Calendar itself, the Calendar iGoogle gadget, and the
gadget in Gmail Labs all display that way.)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SVN Revision 89 (About says v1.0.0.2), Vista SP1, Google Desktop
5.8.0809.23506-en-pb

Please provide any additional information below.
I've attached an insanely kludgy hack (with a hardcoded calendar timezone
offest, shudder) that I whipped up to make my calendar display correctly.
Ideally, the conversion would be done when the date is displayed, not when
it's loaded... but I didn't have time to modify all those pieces of code.
I'll probably work on it some more, I'll post back if I develop anything
more concrete.

(Not sure if I should try to fetch the time zone setting from google
calendar itself, or add a "display time zone" preference.)
