Description Mariusz Mazur 2024-11-15 16:38:26 UTC

SUMMARY
In plasma5 days it used to be the case that I could change the size of the digits by adjusting the size of the plasmoid. This is no longer the case and the digits are hardcoded to be tiny.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add timer plasmoid to desktop.
2. Resize it.
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Clock icon changes size.
Time display doesn't change size.


EXPECTED RESULT
Time display changes size.
If I'm making the plasmoid larger, it's because I want the actual content (the time) larger. The primary functionality is the timer display, not the clock icon, so I would expect that to get resized.

applets/timer: improve sizing and resizing

The timer applet has some sizing and resizing issues:
- it's not possible to switch from compact to full representation for
  desktop widgets during runtime; the user has to resize it past the
  switching size, then restart Plasma. This is difficult to discover, in
  particular as resizing the compactRepresentation is mostly useless.
- it's very easy to get the desktop applet display its contents out of
  its boundaries
- the full representation may resize itself on the desktop, breaking
  user expectations about how they place widgets

This change fixes these issues.
