Show/display multiple timezones on windows taskbar #16698

Closed krishnakanumuri closed 2 years ago

krishnakanumuri commented 2 years ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Current windows clock allows to add up to 3 time zones, including the system time zone, but in order to view the time user needs to hover over the time area in taskbar. Would be good if there is a way to display date/times of different time zones right on the taskbar or add to the desktop would be great.

Not sure if this qualifies for a feature in Powertoys utility but would be good to have something like that.

Scenario when this would be used?

At times users need to track times at multiple timezones, especially working with teams spread across the globe. Would be good to track the times right on windows task no need to google/open an app.

No, I want the time to be always displayed on the Taskbar just like the windows system time. This way I don't need to run press any keys e.g. while I am typing something I can just take a look at the task bar to find out the time in another time zone.

Taskbar cannot be extended via public APIs like this.
