Part of the vertical panel with the current Digital Clock applet, the time is 11:48 in it, but the time is squshed into one line and is relatively very small compared to the surrounding icons. (5.34 KB, image/png)

Part of the vertical panel with the current Digital Clock applet, the time is 11:48 in it, but the time is squshed into one line and is relatively very small compared to the surrounding icons.

I use a vertical panel in KDE, but the default Digital Clock applet seems to only be made with horizontal orientation in mind, since the time is really small and borderline unreadable in vertical orientation. It would be helpful if there was an option to perhaps stack the hour and minutes vertically rather than have them in the same line always.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a vertical panel
2. Add the digital clock applet

OBSERVED RESULT

The time is squished and tiny in one line

EXPECTED RESULT

It should display in a more readable format (perhaps stacking the hour on top of the minutes)

For example, instead of "10:56" being in one line, it could perhaps be:

10
56

in the panel.

the time, if stacked vertically, could have the ":" turned sideways and placed between the top and bottom to make it more clear that its the time.
10
 . .
56
it would have better spacing than that of course.

the date is hard to read as well.
