Better inline clock

Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): https://github.com/MarianArlt/kde-plasmoid-chiliclock

Description:

The hottest clock around!
· Formats not found in any other clock, including custom!
· Disable the separator with a simple check box!
· Option for manual font size!
· Correctly calculated width at any time and date!
· Manual spacing and offsetting!
· Everything on one single line, no more two-liners where you can't read anything!

This clock started when the KDE digital clock would need spacer trickery and set off things badly. It now has become a highly customizable plasmoid that will fit great with any desktop.

Last changelog:

v3.1 7 months ago

- fixes padding not pushing other widgets correctly, resulting in unexpected overlap
- fixes AM/PM label messing with padding additionally

- Spacing option now changes all spaces including outer padding
- Added config option to disable calendar view borders

Looks great! Thanks a lot for your work. May I ask what Icon theme, Breeze Color Scheme and Aurorae theme you are using? Also: how do you make the icons in the dolphin toolbar so small and blue-ish? Is it part of your icon theme?

r0skar I uploaded my actual aurorae theme I'm using in these screenshots. It's pure white so I called it a high contrast theme. Maybe wanna turn down brightness a bit if you use it. Search for FlatOS in system settings or download here: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1246756/

Please see my response to filipedsgn below for the links to my themes. My color theme is a personalized theme with basically very light background and a very dark purple-blue foreground. If you're interested I could upload it for you. The dolphin icons are the same of the icon set mentioned in the link below, yes :) To change the icon size of the dolphin side panel just right click in some empty space in the panel and choose a different icon size from the context menu.

Thanks for the reply. No need to upload the color scheme, as I am using my own (similar to yours but blue-ish) and i just figured out that the icon color is actually based on the variable Window Text (in KDE color schemes).

Thank you. The top panel is in reality a seperate Latte dock. It's definitely the best desktop environment widget made in years and amazing things can be accomplished. (In this case make a new dock, set background to full transparency, make it span whole width and check the box about better contrast in the last config section). You can find Latte easily here on opendesktop. Together with the Plasma global menu it's now basically a vanilla Arch adaption of ElementaryOS and MacOS. The folders are made by me, you can find them here: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1228310/
So are the window decorations (although slightly altered to be completely white; maybe I'll launch another version) which you can download here: https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1199822/
Have fun!

Precisely the clock I was looking for. I think this one should be default in KDE.

Hi could you please share your setup from the preview, it looks beautiful.

9 excellent there is one thing that can be better, and thats the events list. sometimes events from an .ical has a lot of extra information, like links to various things, where to buy tickets etc, which makes everything very cluttered. there should be an option to strip those out. event calendar has that option, you can untick 'show event desctiption' or something like that. im hoping you can implement that in better inline clock as well. thanks !

I like this better because allows me to adjust the ridiculous sized font of the default digital clock. However there is a minor glitch in the widgets selection it has no image. just a null red circle. thanks!

Honestly, I'm not sure what makes this "better" than the standard KDE clock.

9 excellent! Beautiful alternative and good work! Unfortunately, Kubuntu 18.04 does not work, since it requires QtQuickControls 2.3 / 2.4. On my other partition with Opensuse Tumbleweed works perfect. Congratulations!

I can't change the timezone without changing the system timezone, which isn't what I want. In my case, II need to add an alternate clock to keep track of other time zones.
