Clock applet moves when using proportional system font #594

Open Robotmike1966 opened 1 week ago

Robotmike1966 commented 1 week ago

Description

Using a system font with variable width resizes the clock applet in the taskbar during time changes. This causes a visible shift of not only the clock itself inside of the time string, but also all aligned applets in the particular section of the taskbar where the clock is located.

This will be noticed most likely when you have seconds activated in your time string, i. E. "%H:%M:%S %d.%m.%Y" .

Might be dependent on screen resolution, mine is 1920 * 1080 (100%)

Budgie version

10.9.2

Operating System

Solus

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Set desktop font to "cantarell bold 10"
  2. Configure a clock-applet in the taskbar with time string "%H:%M:%S %d.%m.%Y"
  3. align other applets left and/or right to the clock
  4. Watch for several seconds

Actual result

Depending on the geometrical size of the time string on display both left and right bounds of the clock flick left and right and so will aligned applets.

Expected result

Time displaying box should have fixed size or explicit monospace font.
