ZMT, GMT, UTC

Hi, I would love to be able to display all time formats in each city. Given the width of the bar for each city, it should be possible to display all of the different time systems in the row (GMT+1, ZMT+... etc). Thanks for the amazing program.

Hi Mark. Thanks for your suggestion, and I'm very glad to hear that you're enjoying Overlap! I'm having difficulty understanding what it is that you'd like us to add. Is it that you'd like to see the various different names for the particular time zone? Or a selection of different time zones in a particular row? Or something else?

Currently, Overlap gets the names for the time zone from Apple's system. These should be reasonably well localized depending on your device's locale settings, so if in the US for example, you should see the various US time zones named correctly, whereas if I looked at them, I'd see a more generic GMT-6 etc. We may be able to find a source for alternative names for each zone somewhere though.

Simon Burbidge: Thanks for the reply. Sorry for not being clear. I guess I didn't really understand what I myself wanted. I will use screenshots to explain my use case (feature request in red): My time shows up as AEST, but I would like to know what my time zone offset is in GMT. When I try to search to re-add it, so I can see the GMT, I only get to see "AEST". To find my offset, I need to use google. I would like to be able to reference the GMT when I write emails to colleagues to organise meetings. Thanks again!
