To simplify you can just change the second file, modifying the location to whatever name you want.
So using the above example you could just do: localizedCityNames['Wellington'] = 'Aukland';
Dec 15, 2018 Ironically, even though there is a Kik app for iOS, the best way to get it on a Mac is to use an Android emulator that runs on Mac OS.It runs a little slow, as it isn’t a native app, but it does work. If your buddies are all on Kik, it’s the only viable option right now unless you want to be glued to your iPhone or iPad all day and night to stay in touch.

Another great Android emulator that can be used to run Kik Messenger on Mac is Nox. Nox’s simple functionality makes it just as good as Bluestacks to use as an emulator.

That was an easy to implement hint. Thank you.
I wonder if you can go one step further and work the magic with the weather widget. The town I live in is very small and has no listing @ accuweather. But, is reasonably close to a big city that is listed. Can you figure out some manipulation to replace the name of the big city with my small town in the weather widget? It seems like there is no list of names to edit, and probably pulls the names from the accu-weather database. Thanks Indy
Better late than never..
Probably not possible, because the World Clock stores a set of locations internally, whereas the Weather widget makes a query to an external resource. You have control over the local stuff, like the World Clock, but to update the Weather widgets, you're looking at updating the remote site.. or, putting in some logic after the location string has been read to convert certain instances into other instances for the query, and another when the results come back to ensure the displayed location is what was entered. No mean feat. New Os For Mac
Awesome, I was looking for a way to do this (and for Auckland too, no less ;¬))
I would like to add UTC to the list. Any idea what the valid timezone entry would be for UTC?
- Jim
Figured it out.
var Europe = [ {city:'UTC', offsett:0, timezone:'UTC'}, Enter the name as per the hint into the English.lproj file. - Jim
Works as advertised. However, what changes do I make to make my added home time show up when this widget is re-opened. Can select my City on back side, but after closing and re-opening, Detroit always shows. Changed defaultCityIndex within WorldClock.js and no change.

Does anyone have the expertise to develope a Think Different World Clock widget that runs backwards?
Take a look at the link below for an example: http://www.welovemacs.com/alogowww.html
Getting the clock to run backwards is very straight forward. Open WorldClock.js as was described above for adding a city. There are three places where the function 'drawHands' appears--the first two when it is being used and the last where it is defined. Change the first two uses by inserting a negative sign in front of each of the angles so it looks like: Now the clock runs backwards. The problem is that the clock face is still numbered forward! The tedious part is fixing this. If you are creative, you can completely redo the face to your liking. The two images that draw the clock face (one for day time and one for night) are 'base.png' and 'pmbase.png' in the images subdirectory. I just used Graphic Converter to flip the entire image horizontally (that put the digits in the right locations but mirror image) and then carefully selected each number and flipped it back again. Add a 'Think different' to the face and, viola!, you have your clock. If you want to look at my modified images you can get them here: base.png and pmbase.png. If you don't want to modify the original widgit (a good idea if only to keep your changes from being overwritten if the original gets an update), duplicate the entire World Clock.wdgt, name it 'TD World Clock.wdgt', and make the changes inside that. Then you can have both types of clocks at the same time.
Very cool!!! Thank you so much for the help. I appreciate the images too. Thanks!
The other day I noticed that Apple's world clock widget changes the
background of the clock from black to white and vice versa not according to the real daylight conditions but according to some fixed schedule (when I walked out of the room it was still day outside but the clock had turned black). Now, Apple's documentation for Dashboard says that this is the purpose of the color switch: 'The clock's background changes from white to black to indicate day and night.' (http://images.apple.com/macosx/pdf/MacOSX_Dashboard_TB.pdf) Is there a way (or has it been done?) to hack the clock widget so that it pulls the data about the sunrise and sunset times in my area and change the background of the clock accordingly?
I'm pretty new at OS X. I've got some linux experience, though.
Stymied about how to get permission to save the Worldclock.js file. I've tried changing all of the permissions on the file to read/write, but I still get a privileges popup when I try to save the file. su open Textedit.app didn't seem to do the trick, either. What am I missing? Josh
In the past, I have hacked the clock, under 10.4, following the directions here. I try to do the same in 10.6.1, but when I open WorldClock.js, I notice there's a new field 'id'. From the head of the file, it looks like some sort of 'geoID'. Anyone know what this number represents? Where to find others?
Figured it out - it's a standardized Geoname: www.geonames.org
It's probably worth mentioning that you can copy the whole bundle to your personal Widgets directory ~/Library/Widgets/. It will then be editable without admin privileges. It will also be persistent across operating system updates (ex. 10.5 -> 10.6) and will in general cause less headaches. Change the name of the widget bundle by renaming the package 'World Clock.wdgt' -> 'Better World Clock.wdgt' and editing the English.lproj/Info.Plist.strings file inside the bundle.
