Bug ID: 486154
Summary: Add a "Custom" time display option to the Digital
Clock widget
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.11
Platform: Ubuntu
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Digital Clock
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: arnfra...@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The "Digital Clock" widget has a "Time display" with 3 options: 12 hour, 24
hour, and Use Region Default. Can KDE please add a "Custom" option? Most
desktop environments allow setting a fully custom time format, configured with
Qt QML time expressions (such as "hh:mm AP" for "12:34 PM" as an example), or
percent sign codes like with XFCE and Cinnamon (such as "%I:%M %p" for "12:34
PM" as an example).
Allowing a custom time format would be consistent with KDE already allowing a
custom date format. See fixed bug 162368:

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Ubuntu 24.04 arm64
KDE Plasma Version: KDE Plasma 5.27.11
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
Qt Version: 5.15.13
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Note: I originally sent this in the KDE Matrix room and I was told to open a
feature request here.
Note: My custom use case is to allow for placing the date and time in the same
row, horizontally. I am using 2 panels, so I have plenty of space, and I prefer
my date to be laid out horizontally like it is in macOS (but with the ISO
date). Adding a "Custom" option will allow KDE users to set the date and time
format to whatever they want, supporting my macOS-like use case and any other
use case people may have. KDE already supports custom date formats, so why not
custom time formats?
Here is a full list of the custom formatting codes supported by XFCE and
Cinnamon, which KDE may want to copy, or use for inspiration:
