Description
Starting with Django 1.7, the admin interface automatically displays a warning if the browser timezone differs from the server timezone (https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/js/admin/DateTimeShortcuts.js#L63). However, there are cases, especially with TimeFields, where the time is not stored based on server time, so it doesn't make sense to show the warning in those cases.
Easy request:
It'd be nice to have a setting that toggles the entire warning display on/off.
Harder request:
Per-field parameter to specify whether or not to display warning or not.
You should be able to accomplish this with custom CSS. I believe that's a clean solution.
