Is it possible to redesign the timepicker? #290

I looked through almost all of the JS plugins for dates, and must say, that you created the best one! The only things that stops me from using it, is the timepicker which is made as a slider. It there any way to change it from the way it looks now to something more user-friendly, like the timepicker used in the Period Picker?

Currently there is no way to change the appearance of the time selector that I am aware of...

Active development is currently not performed / scheduled since the creator @longbill is very busy. So if you want such a thing, the only way is to create it yourself / have it created and submit a Pull Request.

BTW Period Picker looks very nice indeed...

Period Picker looks good, and I even purchased it, but it lacks tons of useful options that jquery-date-range-picker has. I'd love to change the appearance and submit a pull request, but unfortunately I need a component for the project I develop ASAP, and don't have spare time to redesign it myself. :( I hope, I'll find some time for this task soon.

@vetinary for a "schedule your appointment" system I will need the same functionality. We can currently already display the availability of something (for example hotel rooms) at a certain day.

However, when making an appointment (for example at a doctor) now the time-slots become more important. What would your requirements be? Maybe we can team-up. My current idea is:

after a date is selected
display a number of time slots
- for example, for office hours like 09:00-17:00 : [09:00], [10:00], [11:00], ... [17:00]
let the user select a time slot

In case you/somebody got links for inspiration / other projects: very welcome as well!

@holtkamp about a couple of months ago I developed a system for doctors and their patients which helped them manage the appointments. The only things I used there, were FullCalendar and TimePicker. I think, it's the most user-friendly way for doctors to create a timetable and see which time is vacant or reserved, and for a patient to see all the options to choose from. Contact me on rodion.baskakov@gmail.com, if interested, and I will send you some screenshots of the interfaces.
