How to reduce # of Timezones in the pulldown

[Jaymer]

Since we're talking about Timezone today, I really don't need to worry about setting my timezone to Tonga or the Easter Islands.
There's a Kendo Timezone file thats 200k+ of crap I don't need and it looks scary/uneditable.
How can I just get 5 US timezones to be in that list?

There is no control over this at the moment. So probably the only option is to write a script that would work with the Kendo UI combobox directly and remove some choices

Looking for some improvements in future..

- TimeZone attribute value displayed on form show different value on grid column. If we try to copy value from TimeZone attribute somewhere else attribute value shown on form is different which get copied.
I can understand value shown on the form is timezone abbreviation + GMTOffset and on grid column it shows timezone by country.

I believe it should show the same value whatever either displayed on form or grid column.

I wish if there is capability to do following
- ability to select the way from configuration tool which value to be shown on form/grid. OFFSET + ABBREVIATION + COUNTRY..
- ability to get the offset value from the TimeZone attribute. [like GET_OFFSET(BO.TimeZone) return GMT +4:00 ]
- view by offset + abbreviations ... this is just more readable

FYI
I just realized that if I change my Timezone in my user profile, the times displayed in a grid DO NOT CHANGE to reflect my new timezone UNTIL AFTER I log back in.
