1st - current, 2nd - what it should look like

After update to 5.9.0 it become way too big. It's big on my 1920x1080 machine, on another one with 1366x768 it just LARGE.

digital clock on small panel

I must agree that the new font sizing is pretty unsightly. Especially on small panel sizes where the padding is pretty much zero.

Well, after a couple of weeks I get used to it, so it doesn't seems so large now. It would be great if you add user the ability to scale them at his own in the future.

What I do is edit DigitalClock.qml in /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.digitalclock/contents/ui/

There is a "states: [" section, and depending on which state applies to you (the "when:" condition), you can adjust the "font.pixelSize" properties of the different labels. My change looks like this:

            PropertyChanges {
                target: timeLabel

                height: sizehelper.height
                width: sizehelper.contentWidth

-                font.pixelSize: timeLabel.height
+                font.pixelSize: timeLabel.height * 0.7
            }

            PropertyChanges {
                target: timezoneLabel
