I’ve failed to find _precisely_ the following trick in @-time’s official instructions (but I’m willing to be corrected on that point), and I don’t know how generally the trick is known among the program’s users, but for what it’s worth here it is:
If we’ve already ticked a city in the “Cities...” menu then when we use the Mac’s nifty Command-Tab keyboard combination (at least, it works in my ancient but [t]rusty OS 10.5. to bring to the screen our active programs we see a prominent digital readout (in colors and tones for which we can set our preference) of the time of day in the city that we’ve ticked.
That trick is very useful because it’s most convenient: it immediately shows us the time that’s current in the ticked city, and we needn’t bother to fish for the readout that’s in place of @-time’s usual icon in our Mac’s dock.
If the above suggestion is teaching your grandmother how to suck eggs then my excuse is that the trick was new to me till a few days ago.
