[SOLVED] Tint2 clock padding botched

Sometime this year, my trusty tint2 taskbar messed up the clock. I switched the issue to "off" in my mind, but I can't stand it anymore. Basically what happened is that on a vertical taskbar, the padding element seems to not set the surrounding area of clock + date, but the areas between the edges of the clock as well as the area between the date and clock. Is there a way to move the clock and date back together?

Current:

Wanted:

This is what I had before, but it inexplicably changed one day.

Re: [SOLVED] Tint2 clock padding botched

I think the issue here is the panel width or font size.
When I increase the panel width with "panel_size = 100% 54" for example, it shows up how you want it to. The same happens when I decrease the clock's font size to 6 for example. Here's a screenshot how it looks like when I increase the panel width:

You should bring this up on the tint2 bug tracker to see if this is a bug or expected behaviour (a limitation due to font size).

Re: [SOLVED] Tint2 clock padding botched

@justasug thank you for your input

I was able to mitigate the issue by increasing the size of the panel from 40 px to 51 px. Regardless, I got some very weird behavior out of it when experimenting with different values, so I opened an issue: https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2/issues/671

I don't think there is much to add on this forum so I'm marking as solved.
