Its not possible (as I know).
The widget in your screenshot has that capability itself.
Search for minimalistic text on google play

If you're just talking about a simple text widget then, like isaacluz suggested, use Minimalistic Text.
Your other option is to use Lightning Launcher. If you use the free mode layout you can rotate and resize any widget and place it anywhere instead of being confined to the standard grid layout. It takes awhile to learn how to use it but it's well worth the effort.

Buttom bar

Hi there,
Do anyone know if it's possible to remove the Buttom pop-up bar.
I'd like to use WizzBar, but after installing Wizzbar, I now have the default one and Wizzbar poping up :-(
Sorry but no there is no way to remove it.

I am incorrect, I just noticed a new app.
How do you change the icons on this thing (task manager, calendar, world clock etc)? Surely it's configurable ....

That's terrible Are there any mods or anything to get rid of it, or force changes or something? That's pretty weird that they didn't just make it configurable. What's the thinking behind that?
I am just guessing but I don't believe the "mini" apps on the touchwiz taskbar are like regular apps. Regular apps can't be used in a multitasking way like the touchwiz "mini" apps on the taskbar, which is why you can't place your own apps there. I believe Samsung would have to develope more "mini" apps first.
If you get one of the android launchers from the market like launcher pro or adw ex, they each have docks that you can place your own apps on. On adw ex you can even have the dock rise up and disappear like touchwiz's taskbar.

The pop-up touch wiz/apps bar is just annoying I only ever use it for task manager I wish you could not have it and just have tas man as an app or widget. The bar only over pops up when I accidentaly press it when playing a game. It's totally rubbish since the apps are not configurable.
Samsung take it off and/or make it configurable it's the biggest bug bear I have with Samsung tabs.

Not possible unless you get a third party launcher like Nova or Apex launcher. Or you root the tablet

Just install a third-party launcher. Those will not only allow you to disable scrolling, but will allow you to delete home screen pages and give you plenty of options that the stock launcher doesn't.
There is a Q&A forum for questions like these. You can use the search bar at the top of the forum to see if someone else has asked your question and find the solution there before you make a post. If you can't find the answer, then go ahead and post a new thread.

Install this app, go to live wallpaper and open the app, hit settings, select the image and boom. Best looking image and auto crops to fit

See Thew Lock Screen

I'm using 4.2 and can't seem to enable wallpaper for home screen+ lockscreen together. Is this option available on 4.3? Also for those using 4.3, are the on-screen ringer/notification, expandable volume buttons included? I can't understand why they would remove these...
1. Set the homescreen wallpaper from the gallery
2. Set the lockscreen wallpaper from the personalization menu
??? I can't see the problem?

That would work with still images... If one runs a live wallpaper, you're forced to use a still image over the lock screen... There's little things that they have seemed to tweak, such as when using day dream / photo frame, the ability to choose individual photo folders, instead of every image in the device...
Oh, I have never seen a live lockscreen wallpaper. It's not a stock Android feature, but there might be something in the Play Store that allows you to do it.

Yea I'd use it all the time on my Samsung devices... & on CM roms. I can't find it anywhere I guess they removed the ability to do so... They're making it extremely difficult to remain un-rooted!

Clock on lock screen

Im sorry if this already posted but I didn't see any on my device I can't find anywhere that will let me change the clock layout or color and I would really like a way to do that because my background color makes the clock hard to read

I don't think you can do it with the native launcher - I tried finding a setting the first day I had it. My guess is you'll need to use a different launcher. I've used Nova in the past...tons of customization available.

Haven't used Nova in a while but figured if any launcher had the capability, it would be Nova.
Dang well honestly I'd even settle for a lock screen clock widget

I'm with you - my background is fairly light so seeing the clock on the lock screen was hard, plus I wasn't a fan of the stacked style or the thin font (tired eyes like thicker fonts). Was bummed when I dug through all the settings and couldn't find anything that allowed for adjustment.
Same and I agree the stacked got is not that pretty to look at

Play Store Icon packs on Touch Wiz Launcher

Anyone find a way to use them? I find most of the icon packs in the Samsung store pretty ugly or outdated. Just want to use a nougat icon pack and I'll be happy lol

It's not useless.
It does what the OP ask and does it well. No, it doesn't do the app drawer, that's not possible.

Yea I know about this, but it just makes short cuts and doesn't actually apply an icon pack.

Today I found this article (spanish): https://elandroidelibre.elespanol.com/2017/11/crear-temas-para-samsung-galaxy-theme-galaxy.html/amp/
Right now I have an paid icon pack run on my TouchWiz S8 (no root, no break Knox security)
I found the hapiness!
Enjoy it

There is another method you can use that hasn't been mentioned here that I use to theme side bar and lock screen icons (as I don't use Sammy launcher, but would also work for it)
Using tasker and app factory, make a task to launch the app you want with the new icon, assign the icon then export as an app and install, now hide the original app icon from drawer and you now have a themed shortcut you can put anywhere you want.
Yes it's long winded and takes effort, yes you have a few more apps installed than normal, but the over all effect is nice. All icons matching and all.
