How to display clock with date in vertical XFCE panel

XFCE4 is my desktop environment of choice in every Linux distro I use these days. However my display resolution of 1366 x 768 on the laptop is quite low by today's standards, so I set the panel (the taskbar) to the left edge of the screen. I wanted to have a clock with date in my vertical panel. Although it looks impossible, I found out a workaround.

Get horizontal clock orientation in vertical panel in XFCE4

XFCE4 is my desktop environment of choice in every Linux distro I use these days. However my display resolution of 1366 x 768 on the laptop is quite low by today's standards, so I set the panel (the taskbar) to the left edge of the screen. It looks similar to Unity's bar in Ubuntu. But now I faced a strange issue: while the panel was vertical, the clock was also displayed with a vertical text orientation. Here is a way to make it horizontal.
