Problem/Motivation
Is there any easy way to add jquery timepicker to replace tons of ugly dropdowns to something better looking and more user friendly?
Proposed resolution
For D8, a separate issue is created: #2625714: Alternative timepicker for Office hours (D8).
For D7, see these alternatives, as listed in #1240930: Alternatives to jQuery timepicker [meta/list] :
#3: http://jonthornton.github.io/jquery-timepicker/ "A jQuery timepicker plugin inspired by Google Calendar."
This is just a (sometimes very long) list of times.
#4: http://trentrichardson.com/examples/timepicker/ "Timepicker addon to jQuery UI Datepicker"
This includes a datepicker.
#5: http://fgelinas.com/code/timepicker/, as used in Lence-s sandbox: Field Timepicker.
Looks fine, but supports less options then #6: Timefield .
#6: http://fgelinas.com/code/timepicker/ , as used in The Time field module
Looks fine, the jquery supports #1647822: Widget Usability – Set default end time after entering start time , as well.
#7: https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/phoehne/2329615 Adds a complete Jquery widget.

Ozeuss commentedjquery datepicker uses a single text field, so no.
A patch with a totally new widget is welcomed.

johnvI Searched for some alternatives, and added the ones I found to this list: #1240930: Alternatives to jQuery timepicker [meta/list] .
I have updated the summary with all these alternatives, with a qualification for our use case.

johnvLet's forget about this.
The widget has some improvements using JS, and given the life cycle of D7, we should spend our time on other stuff.
