Yeah, that is way ugly.
Why can't we have a text box with a calendar control next to it? Any
reason why we're not using the 'standard' interface for this? And use
Angel's suggestion about the time. Then you could keep your hands on
the keyboard and tab all the way through, if you wanted.
At the very least, if you use what we have now, it would be nice to have
an integrated way to explain the time format to the user, either using
an example mask at the end of the line before the [Clear] link, or on a
line directly beneath the time field. Or add a [Help] link next to the
[Clear] link that launches a little popup or dhtml help window that
explains the time mask.

Dear Beta Testers,
We started changing the DateTime controls over to using menus as discussed,
but it just doesn't look right. Way wider than the current DateTime
control, and it really doesn't look right.
Please take a look at the attached .gif and let me know what you think. As
it stands now, we're intending to leave the DateTime control as you have it
in the current build unless we hear enough to the contrary.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Respectfully,
