I assume you mean the date and time settings page. This is KDE's one:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Can you explain the specific functionality that you’re looking for…? I don’t understand your objection here.
I am looking for graphical programs to set the system date and time to replace gnome-system-tools
No, what I mean is the date and time settings program. Not date and time settings page
I know of a small application, that's part of a larger suite if you want it. It's called CoreTime.
It's Qt based, but the dependency list is quite small.
/sarcasm ddate /sarcasm
used to be one in rhel.. system-config-date or something like that.
system-config-date is what I am looking for! Is this still actively developed?
I can't think of a standalone gui app that does this (and a simple google search didn't find one).
If you have a gui desktop (gnome,kde,xfce,lxqt,enlightenment,budgie...) it will have a built in function in it's settings to do this, or leverage one of the parent ones (ie budgie is based on gnome, lxqt on kde).
If your custom environment is pared down to the point where you don't have an equivalent to gnome-system-tools and don't want to install it, you might have to just use date at the command line.
I'm fine with gnome-system-tools. I just want a program that is dedicated to system date and time settings because gnome-system-tools has 3 functions, namely user and group, date and time and samba
