Thanks but what desktop/device is that? is that on the phone? also the indicator doesn't set timezones that's done through the systemd helpers, is the system tz also incorrect or is it only a rendering issue in the indicator?

I'm not sure why the timezone isn't set correctly in the shell, but it's the same on vivid, so it does seem to be an indicator issue alone.

Oh but I also just realized the indicator sends dates in UTC I think, so it might be a unity8/Qt issue after all.

Was this xenial only or vivid too?

You mention xenial in the subject but then vivid on a comment.

I just tried on a vivid+overlay phone and it seemed to work fine, can you try again?

Xenial only, my comment about vivid meant the indicator is the same in vivid, not that the issue is there in vivid.
