minimalist text question - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I've downloaded this to use for my home screen clock. I've got it set at the very top just reading the time. Is there a way to get weather being read down the side of the screen? I want it to hug the left side of the screen so it doesn't interfere with my wallpaper. I thought it was as simple as setting it to a 1x3 or something widget as opposed to 3x1, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

Lock icons?

Hi all.
My lady is having problems with main screen icons (default UI) disappearing from buttons, is hers fault indeed, but as i have checked myself is very easy to drag and drop icons from there, is there any way to lock these 4 icons on their places and be able to change than only when going into configuration mode?
Cheers.
i am using adw launcher and it is able to lock the icons
Right, in act of desperation contacted with SE support, been told that there is no way to lock those icons, they made it that way to make it easy to change whenever you want... fair enough, tho option to lock it for good wouldn't hurt anyone i believe.
Cheers
@whiteze I have often the problem that the icons drafted to other pages . Do you bother to make everything neat. State suddenly everything together. With empty space per page.
installed adw instead, there option to make icons larger, locked screen, problem solved

Problem with Adwlauncher Ex

I'm running stock GB update with no moods, unrooted. It seems as though ADW is having some glitches with my quick contacts. I have 8 of them set up on a homescreen in their smallest form 1x1. Sometimes when I run an app or the phone goes to sleep, when I look at the screen again the contacts icons are slightly enlarged with a grey bar along the bottom with two dark grey thumbnail like buttons. When I press the contact, instead of quick dialing like I have them set for, it brings up the copntact menu for text, email, or call. Anyone having this issue or know what the cause may be? Any help appreciated.

I'm pretty sure this is the wrong section since this is an app, not atrix specific

Lock screen/home screen help

I had the lock screen set up how I wanted, with the clock I wanted and same with the home screen. Then I downloaded some stupid digital clock app that did something different than what I wanted (it made it look like an iphone clock). Now, I can get the clock I want on the lock screen, but with the wallpaper I have on the homescreen (I want it to have its OWN paper). Or I can have the wallpaper I want on the lockscreen, but only with that stupid digital clock app I downloaded. I have been trying everything I could think of for the last hour to get it back how I wanted and cant. Does anyone here have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
ETA I am rooted if that makes a difference. TI doesnt show the stupid clock in there, but its still in there somehow.

S8 clearview case issue. Won't show notifications.

I need the greatest minds on the forum to figure this out.
With cover closed, clock shows but no notifications.
Additionally, clock randomly moves from normal position to the middle of screen and then sometimes nearer the bottom.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks.

Have you checked the settings under Lock Screen and Always On Display / Notifications. It's not really obvious that there are additional settings available under that if you tap on it. Moving clock presumably is intended to prevent burn in.
Thanks for the reply.
Had the phone for a few days and only noticed the clock moving position since yesterday.
Yeah, checked the 'always on display' and then 'content to show' is home button, clock & information.
Clear view cover is on.
As I said, the clock is showing, just won't display any notifications - which is pretty much the whole point of the thing.
(nevermind, I was wrong about my idea)

Changing color, activation of Notifications?

On the S6, when I swipe down from the top of the screen, the giant notification window shows up. This is marginally annoying normally since my home page background is 14% neutral gray, but EXTREMELY annoying at night when I'm reading on the tablet and accidentally cause the notifications to display... My bookreader is a dark-mode setup, and the notifications are blinding white when they display (yes, the screen brightness is about 10-12, but compared to the reader it's blinding)...
I've currently got the tablet in Night mode, which makes the giant notification thing black, so it's not as annoying, but it still keeps getting displayed 'cause of hand position and tablet orientation. And Night mode isn't great for "normal" use so I much prefer something that'll actually help with the notification display.
SO....
Is there a way, even if I have to use a different launcher (I'll need to know which one) to CHANGE the background color of the notification thing (and hopefully the navigation bar background)? I tried Nova Launcher, and it has things that SEEM like they should do something, but they don't change the huge white blob that appears when I swipe down.
Is there a way to CHANGE how notifications get displayed - turn OFF the swipe down from the top of the screen and use something else? If so, how do I set this up? "Do Not Disturb" mode doesn't seem to help.
Is there a way to COMPLETELY turn OFF notifications so swiping does nothing. I can't FIND anything in settings, but I figure I'm missing the "turn off notifications" switch.
I'm also interested in what answers may come. For me it's just about the color; even though I'm dark-themed everywhere using "Swift Installer - Themes & color engine", it doesn't theme the notification panel. Since the theme works everywhere else (even on system apps), this makes me think that 'notifications' is a special case, for some reason.
Curious to hear from others.
Have you tried QuickStar inside of GoodLock app from the Samsung Store? there are lots of mods you can do in there like change the color of the notification pull down.
Thanks. That works pretty well. I can change all the colors on the notification so at least the notification is a black background.
Status bar at the bottom is still bright but that's smaller than the big notification thing. Definitely makes me miss the old Android 6 thing where it just put a couple tiny icons at the top and I had to specifically hit them to see notifications. Never accidentally opened the notifications.
Is there any way to CHANGE the activation for the notifications so they DON'T show up when I don't want them to?
