Clock applet that could

So in 4.18 you just copied totally the same settings from the datetime applet to the clock applet.
And now if I want date and time in one row I can't get that, so I need two applets for that...
What used to be achieved with one applet can now only be done with two.
You just reinvent the clock applet into one that was already present...

Good job, guys.
It was worth 4 years.

Go into the clock properties and under Clock Options > Layout select "Date only" or "Time only". If you want a combination of date and time, select the custom option and enter the date-formatted string you want.

They are made not possible to get date + time in one row in Clock applet. It was possible in 4.17. Now it's not.

There are three places where you can specify a custom option in Clock applet:
1. the first is for popup tip on mouseover
2. the second is for date
3. the third for clock

But it does not give you the ability to display the date and time together on the same line.
Now if you choose to show date + time together, they are displayed in 2 lines only. It is no longer possible to make them into 1 line.

Now it is totally the same as Datetime applet.
Before version 4.18 the difference between these two applets was that in the Clock applet you could display the date and time together on one line, but not in the Datetime applet. Now you can't anywhere. Regardless custom format option.

A very userfriendly and obvious solution
