Support named timezones

[cleishm]

Instead of just UTC+/UTC- offsets, support named timezones. These will adjust for DST correctly.

Hi. Basically LGTM. I would like to merge that now, but before one feature is missed - support of current times. It means that if I merge that version it will remove all clocks the user has. I see 2 options: you can add that or I will merge that next week and will make some workaround.

PS: also the select box needs to be adjusted to correctly fit the name:

I think I've resolved those concerns, although I'm not especially familiar with the UI frameworks. I think that control would also be improved if it was replaced with a text field using autocomplete and validation (rather than a very, very long list), but that seems a little too ambitious for now.

why did you change the settings window width?

[cleishm]

Widening the Timezone column made the Name column unacceptably small, as the table is sized to fit the settings window. Increasing the overall width fixed that. But perhaps there is a better approach?

if I will increase the size of the settings window for such a small feature the width will be 10000+. So it's not acceptable at all.

• scrollable table
• resizing another tabs
• etc

but the best solution will be just crop the text inside the select with ...

Whatever you think best. Just be aware that timezones are most significant on the right hand side, so truncating may make them ambiguous. Maybe a text field with autocomplete (and validation) for entry would be better, then you can truncate to the left when displaying.
