User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0
Build Identifier: Orage 4.10.0

The simple clock applet is showing horizontally or vertically depending on the position of the panel. So if panel is on the left prat of the screen, then clock shows vertically.

I'd like to have the same for orage, because it is much more feature rich. If that matters I think vertical panel is very handy with todays monitor widescreen resolutions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
move panel to be vertical on the left part of the screen
Actual Results:  
I see only 2 digits from the orage clock

Expected Results:  
see the clock applet vertically showing as a whole

This should be pretty easy to implement.
(I just do not see any use for it.)

It is as useful as a vertical panel. I use a thin verticle panel (icons only) and find having the clock read verticle is very handy so I can see all digits instead of only the first two or them. So I'm using standard Clock applet now. But using orage will help me when I want to quickly open calendar and other orage features.

But are your numbers just rotated 90 degress? Or do you see the clock like this:
1
3
:
0
8
:
1
0

thanks. good. easy indeed.

Need to think how to handle two or more rows.
Either put them on top of each other (like they are now on horizontal panel) or side by side. on your panel they would not fit side by side, but with littel more space they would fit.

I have not used multi-row so I'm not sure but if it senses the width of panel and switches between side by side and one over the other, it would be best. IMO having one over the other in a vertical panel would take up too much space. But I can't say how others use their panels.
