Comment (by jscipione):
The time format options are controlled by settings in Time Prefs for
Deskbar unlike in Tracker where the "Modified" column date is calculated
based on the available width. We need to respect the user's settings here
and show the time as they specify, not alter it based on the available
width. Wouldn't you rather see a partial week day than none at all given
that you altered the settings to turn the week day on? It would be
confusing to not show the week day when you turn the setting on because
your Deskbar isn't wide enough to accomodate it and would make the feature
seem broken. This is not a problem at the default font size it's only if
you increase the default font size and turn on the week day that this
issue even comes into play. I already did the hard work to make it so that
you could increase the width of Deskbar in vertical expando mode to fit
the larger time or to fit an extra replicant icon on the first row. Do we
turn seconds off if there's not room? Do we turn time zone off if there's
no room? How do we decide which options take precedence?
