10.4: Personalise the World Clock widget
Authored by: bashibazouk on May 03, '08 11:43:44AM

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?

10.6: Personalise the World Clock widget
Authored by: joshturse on Oct 09, '09 09:19:27AM

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
