Rotating clocks in the menu bar

World Clock Deluxe lets you rotate clocks in the menu bar, that is display clocks alternately on the right side of the menu bar.

On small screens space in the menu bar is limited. In applications having a long menu bar some or all of your clocks might be hidden to make room for the menus.

To rotate clocks in the menu bar, choose World Clock Deluxe > Preferences, click Menu Bar in the toolbar and select the Show clocks in the menu bar and Rotate clocks in the menu bar checkboxes.

To display analog clocks in the menu bar, select the Analog clocks radio button. To adjust the rotation speed (or, equivalently, the time each clock is displayed), drag the Speed slider left or right.

By default, World Clock Deluxe displays clocks in the menu bar using their actual format, but you can limit your clocks' width in the menu bar by omitting weekdays, dates, date change indicators and offsets and truncating city names and alternate texts to a fixed number of characters.

To display clocks in the menu bar by showing cities, time zone abbreviations, alternate texts and times only, select the Show city/time zone/text & time radio button. To truncate city names and alternate texts, select the Truncate city/text to checkbox and choose the desired number of characters (1, 2, 3 or 4) from the pop-up menu.

World Clock Deluxe shows labels by default. If you prefer not to display label colors in the menu bar, deselect the Show label checkbox.

To gain a quick overview on clocks, press the clock in the menu bar: all your clocks will appear in the displayed menu. If you wish, you can customize the menu so that it lists only the clocks that are visible in the menu bar or, conversely, only the clocks that are hidden in the menu bar.
