Thanks for the fix! I just wanted to stick with the LCD layout and got myself in a pickle. But if hours change from 9 to 10 or from 23 to 0, the width of the widget is going to jump from one to another, causing other items to move. How would one go around fixing this?

@vintprox I think you could increase the char-width to fit both variants (one digit 0 and two digits 23). If that works, you'd have an empty space, when the hour is a single digit, but I think that's ok :)
