I recently tried to change my Lock screen and add a different Clock / Date widget and adjust its position and was very frustrated.

After spending a little time with this, I realized what I should have done.  

With desktop computers we have left and right click on the mouse, with Android, we have long press, short tap, double tap, etc.  I had forgotten that.  

Once I was in Lock screen, I simply long pressed on the screen and that allowed me to further proceed.  Repositioning the Clock widget was a short tap, I believe, to allow the process.

All of the additional Clock widgets (located in Good Lock / ClockFace) can be accessed once you tap on the widget and scroll all the way left and tap on the very last icon.  That will take you to the additional ClockFaces, etc.  

It's not exactly intuitive though I managed to figure this out.    The level of customization is simply mind boggling.

Today I was trying to get a depth effect look of clock on the lock screen and while I was trying, I had a small "accident" - the clock completely disappeared from the screen in the lock screen editor, and the "add widgets" folder literally stuck to the very edge. 

I'll add a picture of what it looked like, I'm sorry I didn't take a screenshot of the situation, I didn't think of that when I was thinking about how to solve the problem 😂

 I must have spent half an hour trying to pull down that "add widgets" button, I know it's connected to the clock, so I thought I'd get to the clock. In vain, "add widgets" got stuck and wouldn't budge from the top of the screen.

And then the solution flashed through my head in milliseconds-set clock through Clock Face, and whoa- that's works 💪,  I was able again to change clock in Wallpapers &style 😂.

So if you ever "push" the clock off the screen like I did and can't get it back, just reset the clock in the Clock Face. (You won't be able even see clock styles in Wallpapers &style, only solution is set clock again through Clock Face).

Here is the wallpaper that caused my suffering 😂
