I've tested it extensively and it works great. Thanks a lot!

There's one more issue - http://paste.opensuse.org/view/raw/f8ba5d0d - the same font size should also be applied to the left date label (there are; the bottom should stay as is). Do you think you could include it as part of this patch?

    spaces around operators



applets/digital-clock/package/contents/ui/DigitalClock.qml (lines 564 - 567)

    Can't we just compare "A" and "P" width's and use that? Would spare creating two Date objects and two calls to Qt.formatTime
