The system time, time zone, date, week number, year minute, permutation and combination can be customized, and the network can automatically adjust the system time.

We have scripts to do this, like localise. Except localise assumes that anybody with a US keyboard is in New York...

You should set the time, date, language and keyboard separately and don’t put them in the same block. image

Not so sure - why not make it simpler than Apple? NeXT got it close to as simple as I like it :+1:

Even paper sizes and units of measurement - all in the same control panel. Everything that has to do with a certain location in all place.

I think Apple separated the time and date and the regional language from the keyboard at the beginning because the regional support it had to do was too wide, which would easily cause development difficulties.

In addition, the UI screen must also be "keep clean" to make it feel refreshed when using it, because too many functions are packed in a window, which will make users confused.

KDE is a good example. It has a lot of custom functions, but the clean interface is its problem.

KDE has too many customisations, it's like fishing for a fork in a cutlery draw full of jellybeans, it's hard to find what you need behind all that you don't.

Ok, I think I might be wrong, this is the way to go, can you make it work?Just only the date and time area and area conversion is enough
