Hello,

I'm unable to get date and time in just ONE line, as usual.

- When I choose to display ONLY date, I get the date displayed in ONE
line (e.g., Fri, jan 06, 2023).

- When I choose to display ONLY time, I get the time displayed in ONE
line (e.g., 15:19).

- But when I choose to display BOTH date and time, I'm forced to get
TWO lines, which is not desired:

Fri, jan 6 2023
15:20

See attached images to see the problematic.

Panel size is 24 px and display resolution is 1024x600.

Greetings,

Hello,

To get date and time in ONE line, you can still use a customized format
by setting¹:

1. Choosing LAYOUT → Time only
2. Format → Custom format: %a %e b%, %R

You now get in ONE line the date and time (localized in Spanish in this
case):

«dom 22 ene, 09:52»

But this is BY FAR counter-intuitive :-/
