The Digital Clock widget isn't possible to set to horizontal viewing of [date + time]. Only a vertically stacked view is given, which makes for poor viewing in hortizontal panels. Current view, just to spell it out if I'm unclear with "vertically stacked": [13:54] [26.11.2018] Instead of e.g. [26.11.2018 13:54] This was previously available (KDE4?), or at least something which had the same effect. Likely in relation to the previously available formatting options for the panel clock.
>Only a vertically stacked view is given That's not entirely true. It switches based on available height. Please can you add a screenshot of your panel.
Created attachment 113469 [details] Horizontal-only with really really short panel Can confirm; in 5.13, when I make my panel really really short, it uses a purely horizontal view.

So I'm not sure what we should do with this. The requested view is already available on-demand for very short horizontal panels, but can't be optionally used when the panel is taller. Seems like we should WORKSFORME/WONTFIX the bug, or else add an option like so: Date display: (o) On the same line ( ) Depends on panel height ...Or something like that. Your call.
True, and I too can confirm that the clock will go single-line if you use a sufficiently narrow panel, but imo that's really not a good solution. In my case (and likely other's) it's either "have a legible clock/date" or "have a legible panel". Imho, the clock's lack of formatting is one of the few shortcoming of the default Plasma desktop. If "inspiration" is needed, have a look at Event Calendar widget (https://store.kde.org/p/998901/)

I would really love if this was implemented. I think it would be a matter of letting the user toggle the already-existing one-line mode manually.

I'm running Plasma 5.26.4.1 on openSUSE Tumbleweed. The Digital Clock applet shows a version of 3.0 in the "About" section of the settings. I see no setting to have the time and date beside vs. on top of one another.
It's the first thing in the settings window: Information: [x] Show date [adaptive location]

Is the clock located on a horizontal panel or a vertical panel?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #16) > Is the clock located on a horizontal panel or a vertical panel? It's on a vertical panel, as can be seen in the screenshot. I want the date and time to appear beside to each other so as to save vertical space.
Well that's the problem. :) This option is only present on horizontal panels, because generally vertical panels are too narrow to be able to show the time and date on the same line without the text becoming unreadably small. I gather you have an extremely wide panel such that everything might actually fit?

I gather you have an extremely wide panel such that everything might > actually fit? Yes, I've got a wide monitor and a correspondingly wide panel. I wouldn't call it "extremely" wide, but it's certainly wide enough to fit an ISO date and time on one line.
Feel free to file a bug report asking for the feature to be active for vertical panels as well.
