The minute hand on the analog clock is too narrow -- it is about the right size for the hand that shows seconds.

Activating "show seconds" helps a bit, but the look is still confusing.

Most analog clocks use the length of the hand, rather than the width to discriminate between the minute and hour hands. If there is any difference in width between the 2 hands, it should be much more subtle than it is now...

Could you please provide a screenshot? Mine analog clock on the panel, without seconds hand, looks fine regarding the width of the minute hand.

1) the width is determined by the theme
2) the default theme has a different clock image now with a wider minute hand
