Is there a way to change the clock on the lock screen on the S8?

I've messed around so much with my themes, etc that I don't know how to get them back to the factory defaults.
Does anyone know which theme and icons to use for my S8 to bring it back to the factory look.
I used the weather app fix for the lock screen clock problem, so thanks for that.

You can choose the default theme. It won't get deleted.

I tried that and it's purple which I know wasn't the original. Maybe I somehow changed the default.

Annoying stacked clock on lock screen fix: To change the clock format on the lock screen, go to "Always on Display". Under "clock style" click on "digital clock.". At the bottom left, click "clock style". From here, it shows different clock formats to choose from. You can also change the color of your clock and/or select a background. (Options also on bottom) Just make sure you click "Apply" at the top once you make your customizations.

Yes you can change the color of your clock on the lock screen. Please see my post as to how. Several colors to choose from.

This does not work, this is for the standby screen not the lock screen. It is impossible to change this ugly *** clock from the lock screen without downloading some sort of theme that I still haven't found yet. I am onto a note 8 these days and it still does the same dumb s***.

I just changed the clock on my AoD to the normal looking clock on my s8+, then turned AoD off and the Lock Screen clock changed to the horizontal/normal one and stayed like that. Hope this helps you guys!

Edit: only stays like that while I have notifications.. as soon as I clear them, it's back to the ugly clock -_-

On 7.0 it will always revert to the funky looking clock on lockscreen if you don't have a pending notification.
On Oreo beta, they changed it and you can actually set a separate clock face/color for the lockscreen . It's nice. So hang in, it's coming with Oreo if you don't have the beta right now.

You have a notification under the clock. Even with only one clock on the screen, it looks like that with a notification icon under it.

Clear the notification and look at it again. And with only one clock showing.

You are correct. Unless you're on Oreo Beta, the lock screen clock will revert to ugly default if there is not a pending notification.

Finally!! Settings> Lock Screen and Security >Click Always on Display(it looks as if there wouldn't be more settings but there is) You can change it to another digital clock, an analog clock, acalander or a small picture. You can change the color of the characters and add a background

Wow. Does no one actually read through these flippin' threads?

It's been said a bunch of times throughout this thread... we are talking about the Lock Screen clock. Not the Always On Display clock.

Two different things.

The AOD clock setting DOES NOT AFFECT the Lock Screen clock.

I guess I am the no one. I actually read this thread. Check my pictures.

Your lock screen shows regular clocks because you have pending notifications. If you clear the notification, your lock screen reverts to stacked clock. AOD is not affected by this. This is assuming you're not running the Oreo Beta.

It's been like this throughout the entire thread.
