Created attachment 168264 [details] showing the problem There seems no way to set the date to 2-line format on a horizontal taskbar, instead of 1-line. I want it: 22:54 воскресенье 07.04.2024 Now I get only: 22:54 воскресенье 07.04.2024
That's correct, this isn't possible. I'm also not sure it would be desirable to add this feature, because then people could add manual line breaks in their date format and utterly break the layout in cases where the panel isn't thick enough to accommodate that many lines. So I don't think we'll be able to support this request, sorry.
Created attachment 168301 [details] Showing Windows 10 taskbar with different thickness Windows does it by default, when the taskbar is thick enough. See pix. There is no idea behind why the date should eat so much taskbar space in current implementation.
Sure, but I bet windows doesn't let you manually insert put newlines into your date format, which is what you were requesting and what's been rejected.
Now it is unacceptable, really. Then there should be a checkbox: Put day of the week: [o] above the date [ ] below the date I'm trying very hard to move to Linux, tied on old notebooks, now installed Fedora 40 KDE beta on a secondary SDD on my main PC. Setting up and trying to do my normal workflow. And such small nuances makes feel really bad.
I wouldn't have said no if I thought there was a reasonable way to achieve this. But I don't see one. If you think you can do it, feel free to contribute the code, because that's what this project is made of--volunteers contributing code. If you can't do that, then please accept the technical judgment of those who can.
1. So why are you closing it, if, as you said, I can contribute the code? 2. I do not understand, why it is technically not possible to split date format and day of the week format to two different settings? I really do my best by donating money and reporting all that I think would make KDE better for over-runners from Windows, as I'm trying to be myself. But the second time I'm running into a wall...
I've closed it because the dev team isn't planning to implement this, and we don't generally keep feature requests open that we're not planning to eventually do, even if they're valid. If you or someone else submits code for it, and that code looks maintainable and merge-quality, then we can re-open it.
