Weather widget font size compared to Digital Clock (with Show Date acivated)

SUMMARY

The weather widget's text size is very large, making the widget take up too much space.

If "Show date" is activated for the Digital Clock widget, the situation becomes worse. The clock widget shrinks its font size to accommodate 2 lines (top line shows the time, bottom line shows the date). When that happens, the weather widget's font size is clearly larger.

-----

In both these situations ("Show Date" activated and inactivated for the Digital Clock), I think the Weather widget's sizing is not ideal.

When "Show Date" is NOT activated, both widgets have the same size and it's consistent. Still, the weather widget shows both icon and text and seems to take a lot of space. I don't think weather is THAT important.

When "Show Date" is activated, the weather widget is obviously larger than everything in the panel. Again, I don't think weather is THAT important.

Not sure if there's anything we should change here, TBH.

Nate, does https://phabricator.kde.org/D25413 fix this issue?

Basically. If you want it to take up less space in a horizontal panel, you can always turn off the temperature display.
