[Lockscreen clock] Not thin

Hello everybody !

So, it's not a big problem, but i love having a clock with a thin display for the minutes.

But now with 5.1.1 update, my clock has a bold display for the minutes.

What can I do ?

Is it a new change from Sony ?

Thx for reading

Not really a bug, just the way the lockscreen clock is

I updated my Z2 yesterday and yup the same bug, minutes and hours are bold of the Sony Clock widget. I hope it'll get fixed in patches or future updates..

Just confirming the issue, the clock is bold. Annoying but usability is not affected. It's just annoying.

Same Here on Z3 compact and Tablet Z2.
Please fix this. It's not consistent this way and very annoying.

For those who misses the Original Sony clock with thin minis and bold hours just install 3rd party clock widget "Digital Clock Widget Xperia" from play store. Just like this mine is Z2 5.1.1 (.232)

Hello everyone.

I noticed this lock screen clock change (to bold only) when I updated to 5.1.1 on my Z3 Compact. After much searching and also looking at the latest releases of the Z5's it appears to be a intentional design change by Sony. As uliwooly noted, it's odd that the when you unlock the device the home screen widget is still the nice thick hours/thin minutes design. 

I would love having the previous clock font back as an option. It was one of those subtle design elements that really made the phone look unique.

Even with this app installed, one cannot choose a thin-minutes clock for the lock screen. The widgets are only useable on the home screen.
