Description Podagric 2021-05-15 18:12:54 UTC 
SUMMARY
When both are next to each other, only an empty space separates both.

My suggestion would be something that would allow you to do this: https://i.imgur.com/NVEVy4F.png

There are several other widgets that do this, but for the sake of a system less modified by third parties, I think it is something to be considered as it greatly improves the appearance of the digital clock applet.

Seems reasonable.

It seems there is now no way to turn off the separator. I have always just used an extra space using the custom date format option, and the separator looks worse and takes up more space than my extra space did.

Also the separator doesn't disappear when "Show date" is no longer selected, if the "Always beside time" option is selected.
