Description farid 2021-07-21 03:55:31 UTC

When the panel is in vertical layout, the clock becomes illegible. Adding a vertical option to display the hours above the minutes would be very handy.

Just noticed this bug myself. Setting a manual font size in the "Text Display" setting in "Configure Digital Clock" does not fix the issue (or seem to make any changes at all).
