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. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.82.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Graphics Platform: X11
Seems reasonable.
This was fixed on 6.3.0 (https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/commit/27755ed3004363cfb6df9b8b92921fa6406fb5a8)
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.

Git commit b71ccfc79e3441c1ea7e077f77fa23b2b130f81d by Nate Graham, on behalf of Owen Ross. Committed on 17/06/2025 at 14:33. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. applets/digitalclock: Remove hardcoded vertical pipe between date and time This change was unnecessary; you can already manually add it via the `|` character in the custom date option, if you really want this.
