Lockscreen Clock Problem

Hey, does anyone else have this problem with their lock screen ?
The strikethrough on the clock is driving me crazy.
Barring that, does anyone know how to just remove that clock and weather combo from the lock screen ?
Thanks for your help

Could it be a font thing? Maybe the font or character set doesn't have a style/colon character defined to it
Thanks for the try but that didn't work. I tried all the fonts I have and it still does that.
I don't suppose you know how to just remove that widget from the lock screen ?

Thanks again
 
I think if you re-size the widget,it'll appear as desired.
This (possibly) happens when you have the screen loaded up & then change the rows/icons setting.

Darn. It was worth the thought/ try
That's a tricky one there.

A sync thing? Weather can't be updated for whatever reason?
Turn off automatic network provided time, and switch to manual?

This widget doesn't allow you to resize it that I can see.
It's very frustrating to not be able to fix it. I've turned on the location services and now the weather appears, but I still can't get rid of the stupid line through the clock.

Do you have any idea how to just remove this specific clock/weather widget from the lockscreen ?

I had this problem a few months ago & if I remember correctly, I used the same widget on both lockscreen & home page.
One I re-sized it on the home page it appeared normally on both lockscreen & home page.

Sorry, stupid question here. How did you resize the widget on your homepage ?

And thanks for your help

Changing the settings of a widget
You can modify basic settings of some widgets (for example, the People widget).

  1. Press and hold a widget on your Home screen, and then drag it to
    GUID-4832DF58-7047-4C2E-85CC-2409C5914591-web.png
    .
    GUID-0D158E21-B149-4D27-A1BA-4D9F93D9E7DB-web.png


  2. Customize the widget settings.
Resizing a widget
Some widgets can be resized after you've added them to your Home screen.
  1. Press and hold a widget on the Home screen, and then release your finger. If a border appears, that means the widget is resizable.
  2. Drag the sides of the border to enlarge or shrink the widget size.
 
Is the slash through the time part of the Theme? I was flipping through the available Themes and the screenshot of a few have the slash clock.
'Tilt' and 'Nimbus' for example

I meant to come back and update this. But yes, the theme was the culprit. It took a 30 second trip to the verizon, while the employee fixing it never put down the ipad he was holding or stopped checking in new customers.
If you look at the previews on the themes they show some with the clock obscured. I still don't know who would want that but there you go.

Thanks for looking.
