Current Date & Time Widget
This is a fairly simple plugin used to display the date and time in any widget-enabled location.

- Enable complete customization over how the date and time is formatted.
I think that I’ve done a fairly good job of meeting those goals. Admittedly, setting either field is fairly user-unfriendly. The timezone specified must match PHP’s List of Supported Timezones. The date and time format has the same requirements as the format parameter of PHP’s date() function (for obvious reasons since the defined format is actually passed directly to the date function in the code
