Re: [guide-user] Secondary time value

Bill J Gray May 18, 2004

Hi Larry,

If you right-click on the secondary time shown in the legend,
Guide will show a "time format" dialog that will apply only to
the secondary time. You can then tell Guide which calendar to
use for the secondary time. (This is also helpful if you'd like
to have Guide "normally" use the Gregorian or Julian calendar,
but would like to have the date also shown in some other calendar
such as the Islamic or Republican calendar, perhaps with the time
in some different time zone.)

Whatever calendar and format you select for the secondary time
will apply _only_ to the secondary time, so you need not worry that
everything else will suddenly start getting displayed in an oddball
calendar or format.

For the sake of completeness: if you go into the Time dialog,
perhaps by clicking with the mouse on the "usual" time shown in
the legend or by clicking on Settings... Time menu or by hitting
Alt-T, you'll see a "Time Format" button. Using this, you can
adjust the calendar and format used by Guide throughout the
program (except for the secondary time in the legend!)
