Description David Chmelik 2022-07-17 09:11:16 UTC
SUMMARY
Allow standard/normal analogue clock face.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add analogue clock to panel
2. See non-standard 'trendy' style; look for standard/normal style: all 12 numbers (at larger sizes, optionally additionally also 05 to 60 seconds marks... at smaller sizes at least 12 marks.)

OBSERVED RESULT
Can't have standard/normal analogue clock face.  At my panel size (72px on 27" 4K) can't always estimate time without getting up out of my chair and looking closer (with low-contrast Oxygen/Air styles, which Breeze probably increased this extremely bad trend of grey-on-white & grey-on-black.)  Without 12 marks/numbers, takes longer to estimate time (maybe with mistakes) than digital clock, which takes longer than standard/normal analogue ones.

EXPECTED RESULT
Allow standard/normal analogue clock face.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon 5.25 & Slackware64 15.1-current GNU Linuxes
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.96.0
Qt Version: 5.15.4

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Most panels may be too small to show numbers, though I use 4K and in future will use 8+K, projection-/video-wall if/when affordable... would also be nice to be able to see clock larger... some people might want to drop-down; some might prefer standalone window.

Are you saying that you want all the hour numbers to be visible, not just the 12?

Please attach a screenshot that shows the problem with your panel.

Certainly.

Thanks. This graphic is themable; every Plasma theme can define its own clock face appearance Hopefully you can find a Plasma theme that has a clock that's to your liking, but the current style in the Breeze theme is intentional.
