Created attachment 152063 [details] The timer plasmoid on a panel 1. Add an empty panel 2. Add the time plasmoid Result: The time plasmoid has a much smaller font than the panel would allow for Other: The scaling on the workspace isn't optimal either
Created attachment 152064 [details] Timer plasmoid on the desktop When adding the timer to the desktop, one needs to make it higher than the text is, because otherwise the text shrinks (and then does not fill the plasmoid, again)
This is fixed in Plasma 5.26.
I still have the problem in Plasma 5.26.0 (Debian testing)
Please attach a screenshot that shows the problem, as the UI of the panel version has changed completely in 5.26.
Indeed, now it has a completely different appearance. I am not sure if this should go into a different bug, but now it has two different problems: - In vertical panels I have an 128px square timer icon and a ~20 px heigh text showing only seconds and being hard to see at the first view - On the desktop, it also has a large icon and small text - It seems I can't disable the icon

Yep, that's how I would expect them to look now. Please file new bug reports for new issues. I doubt we'll want to remove the button though, as that was added for usability reasons. Thanks!
The problem is, that the (desktop) widget now needs to be much larger to have the same size for the numbers. Maybe an option to hide the clock icon could be added. Another lost feature: When using the scroll wheel, it now increases only seconds, disregarding if the cursor is above the minutes or hours counter. The previous version could increase minutes/hours by scrolling at the right place, and one could even increment by 10 minutes by using the mouse wheel over the first digit of the minutes. I'll open a new bug for these issues later.
