Screenshot of clock on a panel in both orientations

SUMMARY
When the default panel is placed in a vertical orientation, the digital clock tries to sandwich its text in the width of the panel, (44 pixels on my system,) rather than laying it out in a vertical fashion. As a result, the text becomes extremely tiny and barely readable.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Move the default panel to a vertical orientation

OBSERVED RESULT
Text is unreadable

EXPECTED RESULT
Text is rotated vertically

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When drafting, vertical text is always rotated counter clockwise 90 degrees and laid out from bottom to top. However, we may wish to support the other vertical orientation as well.
