Perhaps even just getting the IP of the user, then querying the timezone that way. And if the user is behind a proxy, you can screw yourself anyways

Basically, I am not that concerned with 30 or 45 minute differences (don't have such contacts, but I know others would like that), I'd just want a clock below contact's avatar that would be user settable to predefined time offsets - perhaps not even necessary to input timezone and/or DST - just an option to type in the OFFSET from YOUR system clock time. That would be swell.


And I do know that I can't expect it, like, tomorrow. It's not burning under my feet - I'm a patient man. Would be extremely cool if it were a dedicated Msg+ feature. To whom I need to talk to carry the feature request over?

• Getting the IP of the user isn't as easy as one would think.
  
• Adding objects to the window is possible (using the SetParent API) however adding something into the window itself is impossible as a script
  
• The way I would do it (and also the easiest) would be to show the clock in the titlebar. The clock would only show if you were to set a timezone for the user.
