Possibly selectable between digital and analog.

I do not really need this, so if implemented, than with an option enable/disable clock.
Also I can imagine that some others can find this useful but like to have the clock on the lef/right and/or bottom/top of the EPIM window.
Consider this too when implementing this suggestion.

Personally I use a separate clock APP that has extra options as timer, alarm, time settings. I can also set the option always on top, than it stays on screen even when I switch between programs. That works fine for me. I do not use this APP all the time, activate it only when needed.

If the Clock was placed at the bottom of the Task bar, it would be there in almost every View of Epim.
And it's at the best eye level.
That is a location that is seldom used and would not be there when the Task bar is hidden.

+1 but optional. If possible with two or three additional clocks, e.g. one for CET and one for IST (woking with offshore coleagues), (https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/, https://www.timeanddate.de/uhrzeit/pers ... es=83,1038)

If one searches this forum, the subject about a clock / timer / stopwatch capability for EPIM has appeared a number of times over the years. I think one problem about implementing such is the diversity of opinion of how to implement it. This is not to ignore the fact that the Calendar module does have an event related alarm clock capability.

+1 for the general idea. I believe that some type of basic clock (et. al.) should be implemented, and let the user community make suggestions on how it could evolve over time. In the meantime, there is 3rd party clock widget software that could be use, though somewhat functionally crippled for not being integrated into EPIM.

That's an interesting idea about adding additional clocks for different time zones. We will take it into account. Thanks!
