Currently, by default the date of the Digital Clock plasmoid is not shown, see for example here: - http://www.ocsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/plasma-5-13-desktop-620x349.png If users increase the panel height, they normally will also want to enable the date display, see here (ignore the screenshot annotations): - https://i.stack.imgur.com/v5C3x.png - https://i.stack.imgur.com/0qFgm.png - https://ixquick-proxy.com/do/spg/show_picture.pl?l=english&rais=1&oiu=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FPUW33XSKjik%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg&sp=aa056fc63e33fc935e80a3f8b3ead85e It would be nice if the date would automatically be displayed once the height of the widget reaches a certain threshold.
Nice suggestion! I thought about even almost always adding the date info, like on Windows.
In this case, there should be an option “Always show the date”, which will allow me to display the date, even if the panel height is less than that threshold.
Created attachment 129458 [details] Setting to always show the date There already is an option to always show the date. See the attached screenshot.
I believe there will be three options: * never show * always show * show if possible
Ah, I misunderstood you then. Also for reference, since this is basically suggesting the same: https://phabricator.kde.org/D27845#622169 The default value to always display the date can be changed here: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/applets/digital-clock/package/contents/config/main.xml#L19 I suggest as a first measure to change that to be on by default. In a followup that could get expanded to allow automatic fitting as well.
I created https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=423155 now to be able to treat both solutions separately.
