weather icon hidden in panel by temperature

Step 1 : add the widget to your task pannel
Step 2 : activate the 1st  option in appearance menu to show the temperature

The temperature is hiding the weather icon, both with a horizontal or vertical task bar

Fedora 41 ; plasma 6.2.4

temperature double digit not showing

The C° or F° taking space, then the 2 digits of the temperature cannot be properly shown either

In a very small panel, yeah. Ultimately this is the same issue as Bug 438316 and Bug 493601. This badge just doesn't really work that well at small icon/panel sizes. We need to come up with an alternative, but so far no one has had any ideas that are technically feasible with the current architecture.

Not only in a very small pannels, I tried way bigger and even horizontal too and it's the same situation.

I just duplicate the widget to "solve this" but if the clock widget can show elements on top of each other(day/name of day/ hour), the other widgets should be able to do that too
