Couple Kit Kat transition questions

[GreenMunky]

I received my VZW Moto X in the mail yesterday and played with it most of the day before accepting the Kit Kat OTA.

I can't help but notice the change in the digital clock widget... I really liked the bold hour with the thin minutes... any way to get that back without resorting to another app like HD Widgets?

Also, I'm coming from a GS3 and was able to hide apps from displaying in the app drawer on my old phone, which I can't seem to be able to do on my Moto X... is that a Samsung/Touchwiz feature? I ask because I have a couple paid apps with unlock key apps that I got used to not having to see.

I also notice the lack of Developer Options at the bottom of the Settings menu... is that because I'm on VZW?

These are really just minor annoyances and not major problems, but any help would be appreciated.

to enable developer options..

go into settings, scroll to bottom select About Phone..

Then scroll to the bottom and press the build number repeatedly until the developer countdown finishes. voila! you have developer options.

Sorry, I cannot help you with the other things.

It would be complicated, but you could side load an older APK of deskclockgoogle.apk from a 4.2 ROM and disable the preinstalled version. Some additional tweaks might be required. Alternatively, the Chronus app that's available in the market looks identical and lets you customize a ton more.

Check those unlock key apps to see if they give you a native option to hide the icons from the launcher. Otherwise, you can use a custom launcher like Nova to hide the apps you don't want to see.

I tried Chronus but for some reason I can't add the widget to the home screen, it just doesn't show up on the widget menu. I can add it to my lock screen, just not my home screen. Is it a 4.4 compatibility issue maybe?

Edit: Never mind... For some reason it's available in the widget menu now... Weird.
