SUMMARY Funny pictures are cool, but I need the simple clock I have used for decades in kde4. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to Settings -> Workspace behaviour -> Screen Locking 2. Push at Appearance: configure OBSERVED RESULT There is not option to configure the clock EXPECTED RESULT There must be the option to show the clock SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Slackware-current KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.10.17 OS Type: 64-bit Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × Intel® Core™ i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz Memory: 31.1 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 630 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I estimate your programmer will spend only a couple of days to restore the clock from kde4.
(In reply to Dmitri Koulikoff from comment #0) > OBSERVED RESULT > > There is not option to configure the clock > > EXPECTED RESULT > > There must be the option to show the clock Those are different things. There is indeed no option to *configure* the clock, but there is an option to *show* the clock. It's right there are the top of the page. Can you clarify what it is that you're asking for?

No, I mean the real old clock as on the picture. The option to *show* the clock works.
Ah, so you want the entire lock screen background to be a clock. I see, thanks. The lock screen accepts wallpaper plugins, so you or somebody else could create a wallpaper plugin that displays a giant clock and post it to store.kde.org, and then you could download it and use that on the lock screen to have what you want. This is the intended method for users to customize their lock screen. There are already a lot of nice wallpaper plugins available there.
Thank you. I have one digital clock downloaded and installed. Though it would be great if one of the KDE team will reimplement the clock from kde4 as the wallpaper. Indeed among all screensavers kde4 hat, the clock was the only useful. ;-)
That's a neat idea! However the Plasma team is pretty busy with improving the default experience these days and prefers to leave creation of optional content to users. Maybe you could tweak the one you have to be more like the old one, and then upload it so others could benefit!
