SUMMARY
The KDE Digital Clock widget has the ability to list several timezones on the side. I am unable to find the EDT timezone from the list though. As someone who doesn't know what timezone it would correspond to (this seems to be a daylights savings timezone), I would like to have the program offer me EDT as an option.

The term you want to earn for is "Eastern" or even just "East". However the timezone picker operates on the basis of cities, not timezone codes. So just pick a city in that timezone. For example I added New York to mine to get it to show EDT.
Comment 2 Antti Savolainen 2021-06-03 20:16:07 UTC
Should it however have options with just timezone codes? For someone living outside of the US, I have no idea what city I should pick. I just see a timezone code written somewhere in a schedule somewhere and would like to add that to my clock so I can track it.
In my opinion they should be added so that the ease of use is maximized.
