Hi, here is a problem that I just couldn’t solve. I made a panel similar to macOS and because I don’t like how big the clock gets when the size is set automatically, I put it to manual. The problem is when I put it to 11pt in my second screen, whose resolution is 1366x768, its actual size is much smaller, around 7 or 8. On a screen with 1920x1080 resolution it appears regularly as 11pt
I like Colorful - take care when setting your font, some take up more space than others.
Then observe what happens when you apply different Plasma themes, the one you see is 'BonaFides-Color-Plasma but Breeze also works just as well for the clock.
After playing, I figured it’s best to set the font stupidly big, and let Plasma scale it to fit.
hi, welcome.
i don’t think there is any “solution” to problem other than playing with the font size and different fonts until you find something you are happy with.
also realize the widget will shrink the font on it’s own regardless of what size you specify (consider it an upper bound).
i chose a tall slender font (size 72!) for my vertical panel to maximize the visibility in a narrow space
For an always visible clock that doesn’t take screen-space from your apps, you can also try a simple conky clock 
clock.conky
conky.config = {
-- Conky settings
background = true,
update_interval = 5,
double_buffer = true,
no_buffers = true,
-- Window specifications
gap_x = 275,
gap_y = 5,
alignment = 'top_right',
own_window = true,
own_window_type = 'normal',
own_window_transparent = false,
own_window_argb_visual = true,
own_window_argb_value = 0,
own_window_hints = 'undecorated,above,skip_taskbar,skip_pager',
own_window_class = 'conkyclock',
-- Text
use_xft = true,
xftalpha = 0.75,
font = 'Sakana :size=24',
default_color = '#af00a5a5',
};
conky.text = [[${time %H:%M}]];
- this stays on top for anything not ‘fullscreen’ (i.e. still displays over maximised).
Like the text says, the actual clock digits may be scaled down if the size you chose doesn’t fit.
“doesn’t fit” in this case means “doesn’t fit in the bounding box of the Digital Clock widget”.
That bounding box is smaller than you might expect because it’s between two Margins Separator widgets. If you go into edit mode and remove them, the widget will take up more space — at the cost of having slightly worse horizontal alignment with other things on the panel.
Put a margins separator widget on the immediate left of the clock widget and it’ll get bigger - it’s a bug.
Id’ rather have a clock that makes me visualize my calendar and agenda when I press it
Nothing changed
I think you misunderstood - you can always have a clock on a panel as well as a conky clock which is always visible.
This means you could set the panel to auto hide, or smart hide - so it’s only visible when the desktop isn’t crowded, but it is always available - and not even needing to click it, I can call it up with a keyboard shortcut.
When I used ‘event calendar’ a while back, I actually had a completely separate panel only for that particular widget…
So the calendar IS always available and I don’t need the panel taking up space on the desktop to have a permanently visible clock… What you see in that screenshot is the clock actually appearing on top of the Firefox tab-bar, it is not on a panel.
