NTP Time Zone Clock

The Internet is now home to a lot of things, including time, or at least servers to which you can synchronize to the millisecond. In case you need to keep an eye out on multiple locations on the globe, you can use NTP Time Zone Clock to set up multiple clocks in an intuitive interface, with a configurable time server.

It doesn’t take a lot of time to install the application, letting you check out its set of features before you realize. It’s packed with several locations by default, so you get an idea of what can be obtained. The main window can be resized, and dragged around the desktop, with text values wrapping accordingly, and changing size.

Configuring time options is an easy task, and this is done from the preferences panel. Here you view all locations currently tracked, and have the possibility to edit details, remove existing ones, or add more. Inserting other locations is easy enough, with additional options to pick time zone, and to provide a display name, which doesn’t really have to have a relation to the zone.

Details update on the spot, and confirming changes in the preferences menu updates the main window as well. You can also provide a different time server while in the preferences menu. Customization plays an important role, and the application is especially useful if used on terminals, or large display screens.

The background color can be changed with the help of the default color palette, as well as for the text shown. Font options are also among implemented visual tweaks. Double clicking the main window hides the window borders, which can cover up the entire screen when maximized. The background can be made transparent, but keep in mind that you can interact with elements in the background in this mode.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that NTP Time Zone Clock provides a simple environment you can configure to show time zones from all over the world. An Internet connection is required if you want to change the server. Customization options are used to make it blend with any environment.
