The Clocks Screen
(Hint: Run WorldClock Lite and refer to the screen while reading this documentation page
from a printout.)
__________________________________________________________________________
The screen that automatically appears when you first run WorldClock Lite is
the Clocks screen. In addition to the map with day/night pattern and the
locations of the sun and moon, five clocks are displayed.
The clocks were set prior to distribution to Honolulu, Los Angeles, Denver,
Chicago, and New York. You may change the "location" of any clock by
clicking once on the clock. This brings up a scrolling list of over 180 world-
wide locations. Click on the location of your choice, and then click the Select
button (or double-click on the location). The clock will display the time at the
chosen location, including correction for daylight savings time if it is in effect
at that location.
The brightness of each clock face indicates the daylight, twilight, or nighttime
condition at the respective location. Nighttime is shown with a black clock face,
twilight with varying shades of gray. Sunrise and sunset is shown with red and
orange hues on a color screen.
A small "s" in the upper right hand corner of each clock indicates that standard
time is in effect at the clock's location. "d" indicates that daylight savings time
(or an equivalent such as European summer time) is in use. Each clock shows
the great-circle distance in statute miles from the computer's "home" location
(displayed at the top of the window) to the clock's location.
Each clock also shows the time difference in hours and minutes from the
computer's "home" location to the location of that clock.
The location of each clock is displayed in a small rectangle on the map. The
computer's location on the map is marked with a small circle and cross (red on
a color display).
Click once on the digital clock panel to change to universal time. Click again to
return to the panel to local time.
