Looking around on store.kde.org, I saw quite some clocks of (old) themes which have hands that are e.g. only indicators directly at the border. Or are ghost-like pointers floating disconnected from the center. They usually compensate by having an empty region until the center (or beyond, to make up for the currently hardcoded (width/2, width/2) rotation center offset). With some old themes, it appears even that in early Plasma times the vertical offset from the middle of the hand shape was used (cmp. e.g. clock of Spoons lite: https://store.kde.org/p/998821/) To test the new variant to define the rotation offset, please get the current working version of Spoons dark: cd some/test/dir git clone git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/ivan/plasma-theme-spoons-dark.git cd .local/share/plasma/desktoptheme ln -s some/test/dir/plasma-theme-spoons-dark spoons-dark-work Open `widgets/clock.svg` and add this before the final `</svg>: <circle style="opacity:0.875;fill:#008000;fill-opacity:1;stroke:none" id="hint-hourhand-rotation-center-offset" r="2" cx="71.566" cy="62.5" /> <circle style="opacity:0.875;fill:#008000;fill-opacity:1;stroke:none" id="hint-minutehand-rotation-center-offset" r="2" cx="63.908" cy="62.5" /> <circle style="opacity:0.875;fill:#008000;fill-opacity:1;stroke:none" id="hint-secondhand-rotation-center-offset" r="2" cx="56.250" cy="62.5" /> The result would look like this in Inkscape: F6759682: Screenshot_20190408_223047.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6759682> And this patch then results in this at runtime: F6759679: Screenshot_20190408_222812.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6759679> REPOSITORY R120 Plasma Workspace BRANCH fixclockshadowhandcenter REVISION DETAIL https://phabricator.kde.org/D20112 To: kossebau, #plasma, #vdg, mart, davidedmundson, ngraham Cc: plasma-devel, jraleigh, GB_2, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart
