This happened after a recent update (can’t say exactly when, but close to a week ago). Before, date and time were perfectly readable and next to each other on the panel. Now, the font is smaller and the date and time texts are on top of each other and overlap, hurting readability. Changing the size of the panel or the date and time format did not solve this issue. Displaying only date OR time does of course solve the overlapping, but I wish to see both date and time at all times. Any help would be appreciated.
Mmm do note that there is a difference between clock and dateTime widget, my description is for clock to get the layout back from 4.16.
On Manjaro i don’t have dateTime though, but on endeavouros do
That is on cassini, xfce 4.18
Using the panel clock (not the datetime plugin ), I manage to stack the time above the date by using a Custom Format and making the date smaller than the time.
%T%n<small>%Y/%m/%d</small>
If you want the date and time to be side by side instead of stacked, use this code, wherein %n is replaced with a space:
%T %Y/%m/%d

Thank you everyone for your kind replies, especially to manuel for a witty work-around and to both fred666 and kwg for what I consider to be the solution to my issue.
