Adjustable Clock
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
Plasmoid to show date and time in adjustable format using rich text.
Developed and tested on KDE 4.11 with Qt 4.8 (Kubuntu 13.10).
Source (main repository, with more frequent updates) is located at:
https://github.com/Emdek/plasmoid-adjustable-clock
Warning!
Version 4.0 (and newer) is not backwards compatible with 3.x, all custom formats need to be exported and manually converted.
QML themes support is currently considered as experimental, behavior and available API are not yet stable and most probably will be changed with next release.
Tips:
- to change tool tip text you need to set options toolTipExpressionMain and toolTipExpressionSub in applets configuration file (usually located at ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc), in group containing line plugin=adjustableclock;
- you can use advanced WebKit features (all of these that work with for example rekonq should work here too), for example use CSS to create reflections:
-webkit-box-reflect:below 5px -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(transparent), color-stop(0.5, transparent), to(white));
And much more. ;-)
If you created interesting theme and want to share it then post in comments!
Features:
- fully custom date and time using JavaScript API to obtain date and time components;
- multiple clock themes utilizing various designs;
- possibility to use rich text editor or edit source directly (HTML and CSS or QML) to adjust theme;
- context menu with actions to copy formatted (adjustable expressions) date and time to clipboard;
- fast copy to clipboard of adjustable date and time expression after middle mouse click on the clock or activation of keyboard shortcut;
- adjustable tool tip (hidden option, toolTipExpressionMain and toolTipExpressionSub keys);
- standard clock calendar.
If you have found bugs or have suggestions you can contact me via email, message or using comments, before you will vote bad. And remember that not everybody has enough time for fast replying. ;-)

I'm planning new release for Wednesday, so if you have some ideas for original clock designs (mainly like your previous one or dbClock like) then it's best time to publish them (so those could be included in bundle). ;-)

I tried to disable tooltip using toolTipFormat=, ToolTipFormatMain= and ToolTipFormatSub=, but not work. Any solution?
Thanks!

toolTipFormatSub=
You can try to modify default value, %!Z%E, for example just remove %E.

You can try to use plasmaengineexplorer to check what calendar data engine returns for query:
events:2012-02-15:2012-02-17
(you may need to update dates range)
If it shows too many things then it probably should reported on bugs.kde.org.

Format placeholders were changed too, to allow to have more options and have more consistent (but no longer compatible with strftime()) placeholders (and make it harder to run off of free symbols).
Big thanks goes to Tomasz Wasilczyk due to his help with testing.

In early versions, we could remove the clock display to have the calendar when the cursor mouse passed over the plasmoid.
This option was later removed.
Is there a possibility to set this option to delete the clock when the cursor mouse passed over the plasmoid ?
Thank you very much.

Or you ask how to remove time part from tool tip (it's described as second tip on this page, in applet description)?

You can also try to debug issue using background on main container to check if it's not caused by margins, paddings, font size, line height etc.
And last but not least there is always possibility to try to scale it disproportionate using CTRL (this is useful but hidden feature of default applet handle).

Expected behavior: same as in default "Digital clock" applet with several additional timezones selected.

If this doesn't help then it looks like a QtWebkit 64 bit version bug, as it crashes during JavaScript evaluation (I've the same versions of KDE and Qt on Mandriva 32 bit and it works fine).
