If you already have your local time as any city (Local time - London) for example, it will still let you add that city as a world clock.
It does not make sense to me, I just want to add my own timezone as one of the visible timezones, why should the clock prevent me from that?
If you change to another timezone you have to completely close worldclock to update to that timezone.
Also it would be nice if the World clock city list was in proper time order.
Currently it's 0, 1, 10, 11, 12, 12:30, 13, 14, 2, 3 etc ...
If it's an auto-sort thing an easy fix could be adding leading zeros 01, 02, 03, 04 etc ...
As usual, I will see if things are worth changing in terms of functionality and the amount of effort it costs.

), so if it doesn't require much effort - sure, it's welcome. If not, we will still have sound sleep /Estel

Time is updated, the local timezone is probably only determined at startup.

And here we have another update (sorry Estel, blame sixwheeledbeast )
Update of timezone after change of timezone
The replacement clock will now update the local timezone in the worldclock screen after it has been changed from within the replacement clock. No more restart required.
Sorting of the world clock city list
Is was alphabetically on the GMT offset, while the stock clock does not logically sort. If the sort was to be changed, I would do the sorting on the city name. So the list is now sorted alphabetically on cityname
About the dayname cutoff in 12:30 timezones sixwheeledbeast later reported: it does not happen in my case (tested with default font and droid sans). Maybe I will have a closer look later.

Of course having it in repos, would cut off pain, leaving pure pleasure.Thanks for update!

Ok so I am back again....
I suppose you could say this was self inflicted.
Upon playing about in 12 hour mode (messing with cooktimer)
I spotted that upon switching from 12 hour mode to 24 hour mode required a restart.
Can the worldclock timezone update be easily implemented to make this update on a change?
Also the "Currently GMT XXX" seems only to be updated when you navigate away and come back.
Thanks for the last update BTW. The automatic update of the main screen really makes this application feel polished. Restarts always make applications feel disjointed.
P.S. I think sorting city's alphabetically was a good call.

The automatic update of the current GMT was not that hard. So I had good hopes for automatically updating when switching for 24H to AM/PM and vice versa. Until I hit this bug:https://bugreports.qt-project.org/br...rklog-tabpanel (no, it is not only symbian)
That resulted in using some hildon functions and checking for 24H-AM/PM changes at moments it could have been changed, then modify it in the relevant parts (mainscreen, worldclock screen, alarmlist, new alarm etc). It took me the greater part of this day to change it. And it is not the first time I notice Qt has issues with locale settings in Maemo....
Changelist:
Download is updated with the latest version.

Changelist:
- Current GMT in mainscreen updated directly after changing
- 24H-AM/PM switches in the replacement clock are directly applied to all clock parts
- Setting an alarm within 30 seconds using the current time led to a "23:60 until alarm". It will now display "24:00 until alarm"
Download is updated with the latest version.

Last changes revealed a small regression to me which I now fixed in the most recent download.
Hildon time I now use returned "ip" for "pm" in Finnish. Mismatching to Qt locale, returning "ip." (including dot), resulting in mixing up am/pm and some layout issues.
Should also fix other possible comparable am/pm notation issues.
Sorry to all finnish clock replacement users in 12h modes

One thing I missed in the default osso-clock was the option to set an alarm on a specific date.
If I had to set a one time alarm within a week, I used the repeat option for that day and disabled that repeating alarm afterwards. Most of the time I was too lazy to fire up the calender, and through to all the step to set an appointment
- So next to the portrait mode, a new feature is added: setting alarms at a specific date.
It should be pretty straightforward. As long as you don't press the date button, you should not experience any difference with the current (replacement) clock.
By choosing and confirming a date, the alarm gets a specific date. By editing the alarm you can change the nature of the alarm, but an alarm with a specific date cannot be changed in a non repeating alarm with no date attached to it.
The stock clock cannot understand the alarms with a specific date, but can remove it or change it to a "standard" alarm.
It is not tested extremly extensive, but I did not encounter any mayor issues using it for about a week.
You can find it as a separate download on the first page, next to the "stable" replacement clock.

All times are GMT. The time now is 21:21.
I've spotted a few very minor things with the latest worldclock.
If you already have your local time as any city (Local time - London) for example, it will still let you add that city as a world clock.
If you change to another timezone you have to completely close worldclock to update to that timezone.
Also it would be nice if the World clock city list was in proper time order.
Currently it's 0, 1, 10, 11, 12, 12:30, 13, 14, 2, 3 etc ...
If it's an auto-sort thing an easy fix could be adding leading zeros 01, 02, 03, 04 etc ...
Edit...
Also the 11:30 and 12:30 timezones have there day name (Wed) cutoff in landscape only. I thought removing the year had fixed that but alias not in all timezones.
