现在时间比以往任何时候都重要。越来越多的人在家工作。但这会使与您的同事同步变得有点挑战。“我是大西洋(Atlantic)时间,他们是中部时间,那么他们的 8 点钟是我的 10 点钟吗?夏令(Daylight) 时(Savings) 会发生什么? ”(Time)
不再需要谷歌了。我们将向您展示如何向 Windows 10 添加更多桌面时钟,以及一些有关时钟和时间的提示和技巧。
为 Windows 时钟添加桌面时钟(Add Desktop Clocks for Windows Clock)
Windows内置的功能是在系统托盘(system tray)中的时钟上再添加 2 个时钟。这很容易做到!
- 右键单击(Right-click)系统托盘中的时钟。
- 选择Adjust date/time。
- 在日期和时间(Date & time)窗口中,向下滚动并选择为不同时区添加时钟(Add clocks for different time zones)。
- 当日期和时间(Date and Time)窗口打开时,选择附加时钟(Additional Clocks )选项卡。
- 勾选显示此时钟(Show this clock )框。
- 使用下拉框选择时区:(Select time zone: )您要跟踪的城市。
- 输入显示名称(Enter display name )并选择一些突出的名称,例如Chicago Office。如果您愿意,请继续添加第三个时钟。完成后,选择确定(OK )按钮。
现在,您可以通过将鼠标悬停在系统时钟上或选择它来查看所有三个时区。
将世界时钟添加到 Windows 10(Add a World Clock to Windows 10)
两个时区还不够?你是个能干的人。您需要Microsoft 闹钟和时钟(Microsoft Alarms & Clock)应用程序,这里是如何使用它。
- Windows 10 随附已安装的闹钟和时钟(Alarms & Clock )应用程序。如果没有,请从Microsoft Store下载(Download) Windows 闹钟和时钟(Windows Alarms & Clock)并安装它。免费!
- 打开闹钟(Open Alarms)和时钟(Clocks)并选择时钟(Clock)选项卡。
注意(Notice)绿线上方的阴影区域。这代表夜晚,有助于可视化不同位置的一天中的时间。
- 要添加时区详细信息,请选择右下角的加号图标。(plus sign )将打开一个搜索栏。开始(Start)输入我们需要时区的城市名称。它将缩小选择范围。选择一个匹配的。您可以根据需要添加任意数量。
要删除时钟,请选择右下角的多选图标。(multiple-select icon )
检查时钟以删除并选择垃圾桶图标(garbage can icon)。那些时钟不见了。
- 要将本地时间转换为其他时区,请选择右下角的多时钟图标。(multi-clock icon )
出现一个时间滑块。滑块中间的数字是您的当地时间。将条向左或向右滑动到不同的小时,并观察其他时钟上的时间同步变化。
将时钟屏幕保护程序添加到 Windows 10(Add a Clock Screensaver to Windows 10)
当您不使用它时,将您的显示器变成一个很棒的大时钟。这样做既简单又时尚。有许多很酷的屏幕保护程序(cool screensavers)可用。Fliqlo是我们推荐的一种。为什么?许多时钟屏幕保护程序都是基于Flash的,而(Flash)Flash现在是报废软件(end-of-life software)。但新的Fliqlo屏幕保护程序时钟不使用 Flash(doesn’t use Flash)。另外,它是免费的。我们确定您以前见过它。
Fliqlo适用于Windows和Mac,但双屏支持仅适用于Mac版本。
将 Android 小部件样式时钟添加到 Windows(Add an Android Widget Style Clock to Windows)
如果您喜欢手机的小部件(widgets for your phone),那么您会喜欢Windows 中的小部件(widgets in your Windows)。Microsoft在 Windows 10 之前内置了名为Desktop Gadgets的小部件。出于安全考虑,微软删除了它们。(Microsoft)于是其他开发商纷纷加入。
我们喜欢Sense Desktop,一款来自 Microsoft Store 的应用程序(an app from the Microsoft Store)。它可以在一个方便的小部件中显示时间、温度和天气预报。(temperature, and weather forecast)另外,大约有十几个主题,所以你会找到一个你喜欢的。它不是免费的,但 99 美分是不是太多了?
在 Windows 10 中获取最准确的时间(Get the Most Accurate Time in Windows 10)
您需要每天准时到达,您的计算机也必须准时运行才能发挥最佳性能。例如,如果您的网络浏览器出现证书错误,(certificate errors in your web browser)可能是因为您的计算机时间错误。您可以使时钟与时间服务器同步。
时间服务器是计算机,其唯一工作是保持完美的时间并与世界分享。它们通过与原子钟同步来保持完美的时间。原子钟价格昂贵,因此政府和大公司维护其中的大部分。
幸运的是,Windows 10 默认使用微软的时间服务器。但是您可以连接到其他时间服务器。您需要管理员(Administrator)权限才能执行此操作。
- 打开控制面板(Control Panel )并选择时钟和区域(Clock and Region)。
- 在新窗口中,选择设置时间和日期(Set the time and date)。
- 在日期和时间(Date and Time)窗口中,转到Internet 时间(Internet Time )选项卡,然后选择更改设置(Change settings…)...。您需要管理员(Administrator)权限才能执行此操作。
- Microsoft和NIST时间服务器位于下拉框中。选择您想要的,然后选择确定(OK)进行设置。NIST是美国的国家(National Institute)科学(Science)技术研究所(Technology)。
如果您愿意,也可以输入另一个时间服务器地址。输入后,选择“确定(OK )”进行设置。
是时候了(It’s About Time)
如果时间就是金钱,那么你应该用你所有的新时钟让它下雨!您有最喜欢的桌面时钟提示或技巧吗?一个很酷的时间屏幕保护程序或小部件?让我们在评论中知道。
How to Add Desktop Clocks to Windows 10
Time matters now more than ever. More people are working from home. But that can make syncing up with your co-workеrs a little challenging. “I’m on Atlantic timе аnd they’re on Central tіme, so iѕ their 8 o’clock my 10 o’clock? What happеns with Daylight Saνingѕ Time?”
No need to Google that anymore. We’re going to show you how to add more desktop clocks to Windows 10 and some tips and tricks with clocks and time.
Add Desktop Clocks for Windows Clock
Built into Windows is the ability to add 2 more clocks to the clock in your system tray. It’s easy to do!
- Right-click on the clock in the system tray.
- Select Adjust date/time.
- In the Date & time window, scroll down and select Add clocks for different time zones.
- When the Date and Time window opens, select the Additional Clocks tab.
- Put a check-mark in the Show this clock box.
- Use the drop-down box to Select time zone: for the city you want to track.
- Enter display name and choose something that will stand out, like Chicago Office. Continue on to add a third clock if you’d like. When done, select the OK button.
Now you can see all three time zones by hovering over the system clock or selecting it.
Add a World Clock to Windows 10
Two time zones aren’t enough? You’re a go-getter. You need the Microsoft Alarms & Clock app and here’s how to use it.
- Windows 10 ships with the Alarms & Clock app already installed. If you don’t have it, Download Windows Alarms & Clock from the Microsoft Store and install it. It’s free!
- Open Alarms & Clocks and select the Clock tab.
Notice the shaded area above the green line. This represents the night, which helps visualize the time of day for different locations.
- To add time zone details, select the plus sign icon in the bottom-right corner. A search bar opens. Start typing the name of the city for which we need the time zone. It will narrow the selection down. Select the one that matches. You can add as many as you like.
To remove a clock, select the multiple-select icon in the bottom right corner.
Check the clocks to remove and select the garbage can icon. Those clocks are gone.
- To convert a local time to the other time zones, select the multi-clock icon in the bottom-right corner.
A time slider appears. The number in the middle of the slider is your local time. Slide the bar left or right to a different hour and watch the time on the other clocks change in sync.
Add a Clock Screensaver to Windows 10
Turn your monitor into a great big clock when you’re not using it. It’s easy and stylish to do. There are many cool screensavers available. Fliqlo is one we recommend. Why? Many clock screensavers are Flash-based and Flash is end-of-life software now. But the new Fliqlo screensaver clock doesn’t use Flash. Plus, it’s free. We’re sure you’ve seen it before.
Fliqlo is available for Windows and Mac, but dual-screen support is only available on the Mac version.
Add an Android Widget Style Clock to Windows
If you like widgets for your phone, you’ll like widgets in your Windows. Microsoft had widgets built-in prior to Windows 10 called Desktop Gadgets. Microsoft removed them because of security concerns. So other developers swooped in.
We like Sense Desktop, an app from the Microsoft Store. It can show the time, temperature, and weather forecast in one convenient widget. Plus, there are about a dozen themes, so you will find one you like. It’s not free, but is 99 cents too much?
Get the Most Accurate Time in Windows 10
You need to be on time every day, and so does your computer for it to work best. For example, if you’re getting certificate errors in your web browser, having the wrong time on your computer could be the cause. You can make the clock synchronize with a time server.
Time servers are computers whose sole job is to keep perfect time and share it with the world. They keep perfect time by being synchronized to an atomic clock. Atomic clocks are expensive, so governments and large companies maintain most of them.
Fortunately, Windows 10 defaults to Microsoft’s time server. But you can connect to other time servers. You’ll need Administrator rights to do this.
- Open Control Panel and select Clock and Region.
- In the new window, select Set the time and date.
- In the Date and Time window, go to the Internet Time tab, then select Change settings…. You’ll need Administrator rights to do this.
- The Microsoft and NIST time servers are in the drop-down box. Select the one you want and select OK to set it. NIST is the National Institute of Science and Technology in the US.
You can also type in another time server address if you’d like. Once it’s entered, select OK to set it.
It’s About Time
