Created attachment 123566 [details] Screenshot The weather widget has layout issues: - Sometimes, especially with temperatures like "10.0 C", the text size is appearently calculated incorrectly, and the text is cut off on a vertical panel (see screenshot) - There is no padding whatsoever to the left and right, making the snug text appear ugly (same issue exists with the digital clock)
What version of Plasma are you using?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > What version of Plasma are you using? Operating System: KDE neon 5.17 KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.63.0 Qt Version: 5.13.1 Kernel Version: 5.0.0-32-generic OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-4790T CPU @ 2.70GHz Memory: 7.7 GiB of RAM Sorry for the slightly harsh tone btw. I'm just a UI/UX fanatic and have grown to love KDE again after SuSE Linux 6.1 in 1997... so I want it to be perfect :)
You sound like me! I can reproduce the issue for vertical panels of less than about 50px in width.
Hehe, yes, I know it's not the best thing to complain about free stuff, but I'm just so amazed at KDE and especially Neon, it's really a huge relief after years of Windows 7. But we're totally off-topic ;) In any case, visually KDE is now light-years ahead, the one remaining layout problem IMO in most of Plasma and apps is inconsistent / missing / too small padding. I know many will now say that "it's all about information density", but then it'd be better to make fonts and icons a bit smaller and add a bit of padding instead. It's very important for quick visual categorization of elements by the user. Rant over now! :)
Yikes, this code is thorny.
Here's a patch that fixes it: https://phabricator.kde.org/D25082
Git commit 8aba24da397cc9ae37d9d74f46661cbbd6b3c082 by Nate Graham. Committed on 08/11/2019 at 13:53. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'Plasma/5.17'. [applets/weather] Reduce label minimum width to accommodate narrow vertical panels Summary: The temperature label's minimum width was set high enough to overflow in a narrow vertical panel. This patch reduces it, without regressing the layout elsewhere.
