Created attachment 102673 [details] Screenshot of issue There's some odd padding around the digital clock. This is persistent regardless of font size as well as displaying date, seconds, or time zone. When time and date are stacked, padding is not present.
I tried to replicate your issue, but couldn't get the margin of such an extreme extend as in your example. Sure that you are on the master branch? What Plasma version do you use? 5.8.x? Anyway I did independently from your issue some optimization for the digital clock ui. Maybe your problem got fixed aswell: https://phabricator.kde.org/D3630
Looks like bug#370156, and seems to be related to the screen DPI. It works fine with the standard 96 DPI here, but not wit 108 e.g.

[Digital Clock] Bug fixes and ui code optimization Summary: - Fixed timezone size and alignment in vertical mode - Instead of `Flow` use `Grid` for labels as it's simpler and gives better control over alignment - Seperator in small horizontal mode centered between date and time and in height now dependent on label size - Less empty space around time in small horizontal mode - Binding loop and initlializting anchor errors fixed - Elements now size completely down and have always the same ratio to each other with the time label being the largest - Round functions removed since they disrupted the resizing for small sizes - Introduce max font size values for text elements in panel mode Related: bug 367585, bug 360059 Reviewers: #plasma, mart Subscribers: mart, plasma-devel Tags: #plasma Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D3630 M +206 -148 applets/digital-clock/package/contents/ui/DigitalClock.qml https://commits.kde.org/plasma-workspace/1d362c4ae2e264a80c002ab6718c1b1d9437c20c
