</div>There are quite a lot of timezones (both in the "available" list, and possibly<br>
in the "default" list. I can imagine checkboxes next to the KTimeZoneWidget<br>
(the central one listing all timezones), but it would look odd to my (in my<br>
imagination, of course).</blockquote><div><br> <br></div></div>Personally I don't think checkboxes in a list look too odd, see <a href="http://www.bbspot.com/Images/News_Features/2003/12/itunes_jukebox_large.jpg">iTunes</a> for example. I agree with Celeste that it's more intuitive to use checkboxes. But that doesn't belong to this topic, so I won't discuss it further.<br>
<br>As for the combobox, my first thought when I saw the picture was to put it on top. However, I see a problem with this approach: it feels reversed somehow. I think there is a high possibility that users fail to see the connection "Select a timezone in KTimeZoneWidget" -> "Another item pops up in combobox". This is much clearer in the first picture in my opinion (first select the desired timezones, then choose the default one). <br>
<br>With that said, I still agree with Aaron's argument.<br></div>
