Current Time Tab

The components on this page conform to the following rules:

• Those labels in orange represent details in current LOCAL time
• Those labels in blue represent details in current UTC
• Those labels with a white or grey background are details about a time or time zone other than the current one on this machine
• Those controls with a white background indicate that the values can be changed whilst grey ones are just informational.

Current Time panel:

This panel gives the currently (continuously updated) details about the current time as set on this machine.

Time Zone Information panel:

This panel gives you the details about the time zone currently displayed in the ID Name control (and the Full Name control - the two are linked).

These are all the properties exposed by the .NET API for the current time zone. If (as in the picture above) the time zone supports daylight savings time then the DST adjustment rules panel will activate showing all the dynamic settings for DST (two sets of rules in this example).

In addition the current local time in this time zone is displayed in the panel on the right.
