SUMMARY clock is too small in taskbar STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. add digitial clock plasmoid to taskbar 2. set it's font to 20 OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT Font remains the same and looks small SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux kubuntu 24.10 KDE Plasma Version: 6.15 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6 Qt Version: 6.6.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
That's a maximum size, not an actual size. If we didn't give it an upper bound, it would be possible to set the clock text to 50px tall on a 20px tall Clock and it would clip out of the panel, which is clearly not what anyone wants. I'll add some text to explain this.
Git commit fbc2ae95846469c68bbce5ab10d4f12de0ccafee by Nate Graham. Committed on 21/11/2024 at 22:01. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. applets/digital-clock: Warn that size may be reduced If you set the font size to something huge on a skinny panel, it's not going to fit and will have to be reduced to avoid being clipped. Apparently this is not obvious to some people, so mention it directly.

Created attachment 176035 [details] tiny clock with vertical pannel Hi Thanks for checking, I should have added more information from the start and a screenshot which I do now : The situation occurs while having a vertical pannel(mine being set to width 26). This is a video of another user having this situation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvPL9vhI38c Another thread about this https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/8z1lsm/digital_clock_font_size_too_small/ I understand this may be a limitation from the original design of the clock for horizontal pannel but I am not sure that we need to rely on a widget for the clock to be readable with vertical pannels. (widgets not working anymore with plasma 6)
None of those are related to what you're describing here. If your ultimate end goal is to make all of the digits bigger on a narrow vertical panel and use a multi-row mode, that's tracked with Bug 440096 and Bug 494736.

Thank you, I had not found those tracked issues initially.
