Latest Update
I completely rewrote the Clock - Tamriel Standard Time
It has now a much better performance, a pretty code background and many more features.
Check it out!
This legacy version should still work for a long time, but will not receive any updates anymore.
Overview
This addon Clock - TST adds a completely customizable and moveable label to the game which shows you the current date and time of Tamriel and of Earth (linked to your system time, thus it is accurate where ever you are).
Additionally, it also shows the current state of the moon and the remaining time to the next phase.
Updates
The last update 1.0.0 brings you a fixed Fake Lore Date and an improved fragment handeling (no more warnings when opening the menu). The FLD will show you the current week day, day and month month in the real world with a lore name.
Update 0.7.8 added independently sizeable moon and phase labels with a customizable look of moon label independent of the clock label. It has a improved moon alignment inspired by Kenza. it also is now fully translated into French (all thanks to Fifish).
With update 0.7.6 comes a Japanese translation thanks to @BowmoreLover from the ESOUI community.
Together with the new localisation, Clock can now set to show 0 am instead of 12 am at midnight with the 12h setting.
Since 0.7.2 also with Russian localisation! (next to English and German).
With Update 7 a new background feature was added. The Clock - TST never looked that good before. Check it out.
Additional to that and a few bug fixes, you can now have your real time next to the Tamriel time instead of beneath.
You can use this addon together with Harven's Dwemer Clock to get the in-game Time as a fantastic looking, animated clock. Install both addons then right-click on the Dwemer Clock and click "Use Tamriel Standard Time Clock" option. You can change the size of the Dwemer Clock by clicking on it (left mouse button) and then scrolling with your mouse wheel over the Clock.
Check out kerb9729's Addon for Clock - TST: Midnight. It will show you the time until midnight.
Follow the Clock on GitHub to always get the latest beta/alpha Version (caution: unstable)
I will release every stable build here as soon as possible!
If you like an offline desktop application of the Clock to see the current time in Tamriel where ever a PC is, search no further and look here (still an alpha Version)
Features
This AddOn will show you the current time in Tamriel.
It is displayed on the Interface wherever you want it to be - completely movable.
You are also able to set the size, font and style of the clock to your liking.
The time in Tamriel is not a fact.
There is not function in the API which gets us the length back.
Many people right now are trying to figure out how long a day is.
Zenimax Online stated in their FAQ that the time is a bit less than 5h, but after many tests, I am sure it is 5,83h long.
If you agree with me or not is up to you.
You are able to customize the length of the day easily in the Clock - TST settings.
This can be done to a precision of seconds.
The time could be off after a maintenance or something else.
With the settings menu or commands you can choose one out of four times to synchronize the clock.
For example, you see the sun right under your South needle of the compass.
You are sure that it is noon right now.
No problem: Just write /cl noon in the chat or use the "Noon is now!" button in the settings to sync your clock.
The best way to sync your Clock is to set the clock to noon at noon and wait a day or more (in-game).
Then set your time (at noon again) so that your clock shows exactly 12:00.
When this is done you should have a perfectly synced clock
Noon is best because you can see the sun and you have a compass
So just wait until the sun is right under you South sign at your compass.
Right now, the settings and the Clock is localized in English, German and Russian.
If you are from the US or any other country which uses a 12-hour clock, you are able to change the clock to that format too. You can even hide the am/pm signs.
Of course you can use the formats: 12h or 24h wherever you are from.
You can also hide the 0 before a single number: 01:12 -> 1:12.
I personally love to see the seconds pass by. It is fun to see if they reach the zero or step over it (because of the game to real time ratio). It is like the screensaver of a DVD player... you have to watch for some reason.
If they distract you too much - like me - or you just don't want to see them, just disable them.
You can disable to show seconds in the settings menu.
You can let the Clock AddOn show you the current moon phase and the time to the next one.
This feature is like the time not based on a fact but on an adjustable algorithm.
After many months of studying it, I am sure the one cycle is 30 Tamriel days long, but you can still change the length of the different phases.
You can customize the length of a moon phase at the settings menu.
Clock does not stop there.
You can also let the Clock show you the current lore date on your screen either as a real calculated date or a fake one representing the current real date as a lore date.
The look of the time and date are fully customizable.
Write a String like this in the text field in the settings:
_DDD, _D day of _MMM _YY _hh:_mm:_ss
It will return you a date looking like this:
Fredas, 4th day of First Seed 2E 582 07:09:08
If you want the Clock will also show you the current real date and time as customizable as the lore time and date.
TL;DR
Clock - TST gives you a fully customizable lore- (and real-) date and time system with moon cycle integration.
If you want a new feature to be added too, feel free to suggest it here.
Commands
You can easily change all settings in the menu:
The panel can be called with writing the command /clsettings in the chat.
Or To open it press "esc" -> choose "settings" and look for "Clock - Tamriel Standard Time".
If it is too much of a hassle for you, there are also chat commands.
The meta command is /cl
/cl active toggle the clock on or off
/cl date toggle the date on or off
/cl ldate toggle the lore date on or off
/cl fldate toggle the fake lore date on or off
/cl help will give all available commands
/cl moon toggle the lines for the moon phase under your clock on or off
/cl rt toggle the Real Time on or off
/cl reset resets the clock to the default values (all saved values will be lost)
/cl resetUI resets the changes only to the clock look
/cl sec toggle to show seconds on or off
/cl show shows the length of a day and the upcoming times in real world time
Synchronize the Clock
/cl midnight will save the current time as midnight
/cl sunrise will save the current time as sunrise
/cl noon will save the current time as noon
/cl sunset will save the current time as sunset
/cl us Toggle am/pm format on or off
Known Bugs
Clock will "jump" around if you activate or deactivate the date functions
If you notice one please use this link to report it.
It will help me a lot.

I think that is the way I programmed it 
I thought it was 5,75h (no idea why, was just a number stuck in my head) but 5h49m15s, or 20955s, is correct. Yes. I tested this time very long and it was as close as possible to the length of one ingame day. |

Lore Date: You are right. The game started at the 4th of april 2014 which was the 4th Rain's Hand 2E582. Since then, every 5.75h a day goes by in Tamriel. That is how the "real" lore date is calculated. 24/5,75 ~= 4,2. 4,2 Tamirel day per day <-> 4,2 Tamriel years per year. That is why the date on that day was 27th Rain's Hand 2E586. Fake Lore Date: The fake lore date is the current real date as a Tamriel adaption. The day 27th is like the (real) lore date calculated since the start and should always be the same as the (real) lore date. The Month is the same as in the real world. (First Seed = March) The year is nearly the same. It was defined as 2014 = 2E582 and now every real year change will increment this fake lore year. This is how those both dates are calculated/created. You cannot change them yourself. You could change the duration of one day, but I wouldn't recommend that. 5,75h is pretty accurate. I hope this answers you question  |

. I used a ingame texture (the texture of the ping and fps vanilla display) as background. Maybe it has a default opacity of 40% so it looks like this... will put it on my todo list for update 7.0.1.

 Opacity 255 in this picture. Would be nice if when setting 255 it's switch off background opacity 100% too. It's like opacity is only at 60% maximum. I would like 75% up if possible -----------------------------------

I will work on something like this for 0.7.1. Everything I need is already in the safe Variable since 0.7.0 so there will be no reset for this. Maybe I will include a custom separation field as well, but when I think about it, it is already implemented, more or less. You can add a " | " or something in front the real date- or behind the lore date appearance text to add a separation letter.
You can change the opacity of the background by choosing an other opacity in the colour chooser. This will change the opacity of the text too. Is there a need for a separate opacity for the label and background? |

Maybe I could implement something to give the user the possibility to change the look of the real- and lore time separately. EDIT: Just released the current version I am working on. The feature above is not added yet and it has a few bug, but nothing major or noticeable (at least that is what I hope )
