Customize Lock Screen time widget

We like the new Lock Screen customization options however, it would have been better if Apple allowed us to replace the time widget with something of our own. At the very least, more font options would have been nice. But, something is better than nothing, and we are happy that Apple is giving users more control over how their device looks.
