TabA9+ Pull-down notification shade barely visible

My Samsung TabA9+ suddenly changed the way the pull-down notification shade appears. It is VERY LIGHT GRAY and barely visible. This can't be right. It used to be shades of dark gray, white, and blue (easy to see). Can anyone tell me what happened and how to fix it?

Have you tried a simple reboot? Clear the cache partition? Did this happen out of the blue, or did you have an update?

Sorry it took so long to reply. Good news- it seems that the cache partition wipe helped. The shade is gray tones but the notifications are in color. Don't know if that's how it's suppose to.

My understanding is that the default color scheme for the quick panel is shades of grey with color blocks on the notifications. It's been so long since I've seen the actual default notification panel. On the phones, at least, this can be changed with Good Lock's QuickStar or Theme Park module. I think the tablets need to use the Fine Lock launcher with the Good Lock modules.
