Showing the Timeline as UTC instead of local timezone

[Swoop]

Hello,

I noticed that my installed instance of timeline (2.3.0) is running according to my local time zone (MST).  I would like to change it to show UTC time instead of MST.

After looking at the documentation, it appears the only way to accomplish this is to use setCurrentTime(utcTime) method.

While this does adjust the red time indicator to the correct UTC time, all of the items on my timeline still show relative to MST.  I did verify that the timestamps for each item were valid UTC times.

How can I get the timeline to display as UTC instead of my local time zone, without having to add 7 hours to each timestamp?

And I wanted to thank you for your responses to my previous threads.

The Timeline just displays the dates with the local time zone, using default javascript methods like date.toString(), date.getHours(), etc. The Javascript Date object has no methods to change the timezone, so maybe the easiest way to display the dates in UTC is to create the dates of your items without timezone information.

Thank you, I will give setUTCHours() a try and see if it provides the desired results.
