Version: (using KDE 4.0.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux The digital clock plasmoid should allow for configuration of the font size. This means that the configuration dialog will need to be rearranged a bit to accommodate for this addition. I have actually did some modifications to the source and ui file to do this for myself. It currently works satisfactory but I am not eager to commit it as there are many other bugs with the digital clock that must be worked out, such as resizing itself to fit containments or according to its font size. If someone would like the code and/or the ui file that I created, please contact me.
No, the applet needs to adjust the font based on the available size. Setting the font size would put a required size on the applet, which would prevent arbitrary resizing and resolution independence.
Ok, so does this mean in the future the applet itself will be resizable within the panel so that it will paint a smaller font if one desired? (As it will adjust font to its availble size). This was the main reason for the suggestion, as I didn't find a way to resize the applet without resizing the actual panel. On the desktop it works out pretty well though. Thanks.
> the applet itself will be resizable within the panel precisely! =) in fact, this is how it already works from the perspective of the clock, we just don't have the user-facing interaction for it yet (coming for 4.1, maybe backport to 4.0.x)
Still it would be great to choose the font size in relation to the panel size.
