can you put a link to where that is?

cool, so DarkGUNMAN's is done with QBW. I guess you can do a lot with QBW, although I'm not sure on the efficiency of something that needs to update a lot, but it supports inline style changes via the pango markup language, so you could output text in one widget that changes size, color, font, whatever. It's just the conversion of numeric to text that is going to be a mess if you do it that way.

also found this, replaces the small status bar clock:

Well, if you don't mind using quick-widgets, they will probably give you the most flexible option. You can add animations, custom rotations, etc...
I am not a good designer, but I did whip this up while eating dinner.
clock.qml
Just add it with the quick-widgets app (don't set the size) and it should work.
It's very easy to change the font and formatting, I split up the month name, date, hour and minutes, if you want to split it up more it's possible.

Like I said I am no designer, but if you want some specific changes, just tell me and I can try to to it. (Personally, I don't know why more people don't use QML it is much more fun and less hacky than the other options...)

EDIT:
Forgot to mention that although I split apart the hour/etc... into separate items, it's not really needed because the text item supports html-like modifiers. I separated them because I am trying to play with the rotation of each element separately to get some nice shape out of it.

Works a treat, can you make it landscape?

Just remove line number 6 which specifies the rotation

That is smart. I wouldn't mind poaching it, that's if you don't mind.
