To change the date, click on the "Change Date" checkbox. Then click near the date item you wish to change and then drag to high light the item. You may then type in the new month, date, hour, etc or click on the up or down spinner on the right. If you type in the item, you need to press the return key to enter it.

You may change the time zone by clicking in the Time Zone text area and entering the time zone identifier. For example to switch to UTC, type in UTC and then a carriage return. You may also use the spinner at the right. Note however that there are over 500 timezone entries so scrolling through them all takes a while. The spinner will attempt to match the identifier as it is typed in. Invalid entries are ignored.

When changing both the time zone and date, you must click in the date field after changing the time zone to cause the display to update.
