How to Create a GMT Clock

If you need to monitor GMT time zone in World Clock, the configuration procedure is pretty much the same as for any other clock. The only difference is that for clock location you need to select either GMT, UTC, or Zulu.

The procedure below describes how to add a Zulu clock using the Add clock option in the right-click menu. If you only need GMT and local time in taskbar you may also want to check out these templates.

Adding a GMT Clock from a Right-Click Menu

In this procedure, we start with 2 existing clocks in taskbar as on the picture below. Right-click on any existing clock and select the Add clock option.


When you click on the Add clock in menu, Preferences should open with New Clock just inserted. Notice that it is currently set to Local System Time zone.


Now change the location by clicking on the Change button to the right of the Location field with Local System Time in it. The World Map should open. Find and select the GMT line in the locations list to the right of the map and click the Apply button on the bottom.


Alternartively, you can select UTC, or Zulu lines. This will have the same effect, although clock labels will be different. After clicking Apply on the World Map notice how Preferences adjusts settings for new clock.


The last step is to click the OK or the Apply button in Preferences. Below is a screenshot of how this GMT clock looks in taskbar, along with two other clocks that were there before.
