Maté clock doesn't allow setting of time zone

Hello, I would like to have several clocks on the Maté panel, showing various time zones. However, it seems that the clock applet doesn't allow this. There is a Locations tab on the preferences dialog, but although one can add timezone names to the list, I can't see what else to do with them. In particular, the Time Settings button on the preferences dialog is disabled. Why?

[Later] Got a bit further with https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel/issues/25; however, the Set button described there only appears when the mouse-pointer hovers over my local time zone of Brisbane.

how about using another plugin for the clock or something else?
maybe another panel?

I did search for another clock but nothing found.

Also, I don't understand how another panel would help, since the same applets are available for any panel one creates.

just try eix panel
and you will see how many options you have for that. and many ship with their own configuration files and applets
