Description Till Schäfer 2016-10-05 19:27:05 UTC
the digital clock font size is significantly reduced since i have upgraded from plasma 5.7.5 to 5.8.0. Also the spacing seem unnaturally large. I have attached two screenshots form plasma 5.7.5 and 5.8.0 respectively.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 3 Bart 2016-10-06 21:22:41 UTC
Same thing here. Additionally, clock settings allows to change the font family but not its size.
Comment 4 pdf 2016-10-07 00:47:04 UTC
Alternative, with a HiDPI display, the digital clock text is huge, and the notification icons no longer scale larger than extremely small, see the difference between the notification icons and the power widget.

Comment 8 Nicolas F. 2016-10-07 14:30:37 UTC
Arch Linux on Plasma 5.8 here, on a ~168 DPI monitor. Regardless of the clock font, the clock is tiny. However, if the panel height is changed to a certain size, the clock's size suddenly jumps up.

Here's a video demo: https://fratti.ch/tmp/plasma58_clock.mp4 (1.6M H.264 yuv444p10)
Comment 9 Chris Holland 2016-10-07 14:52:12 UTC
Found what caused the bug, it seems removing pixelSize: 1024 is causing the jumpiness.

* Tested with default
* Restarted plasma to apply the changes (readding pixelSize)
* Tested with pixelSize

I'm using KDE Neon, so my Qt is 5.7.0

i can confirm, that the reverse diff of D1974 fixes the problem here on top of plasma 5.8.0 on gentoo (qt 5.6.1, frameworks 2.26)

Comment 14 Paul 2016-10-12 09:05:44 UTC
Can we please restore some sanity to this? :)

User definable font sizes for both date and time would be very much appreciated, not only by myself, but I feel sure quite a lot of other users also.
Comment 15 Loïc Yhuel 2016-10-16 18:02:28 UTC
Same thing on Fedora 25, applying https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=101473 fixes the issue.

There have been changes to the font size of the clock for Plasma 5.9. Feel free to re-open if this issue still persists with this version.
Comment 19 Christoph Feck 2017-01-09 03:56:43 UTC
Now it is too big :) But I found the line in the QML file to adapt to my liking.
Comment 20 Paul 2017-01-09 11:11:52 UTC
I repeat my remarks in comment 14  :)

What is the line, tell me please!
Comment 22 Till Schäfer 2017-02-03 19:42:14 UTC
there are bugs Bug 375969 and Bug 375966 which handle size issues with the 5.9.0 clock.
