Problem: 

I cant increase height of the barely readable tiny status bar.

I have been using an app as a live activity for ongoing music. I love the app. Its called dynamicspot. 

To make it more useful I need the status bar height increased. But I searched and found out it's not possible. 

 

Request:

It is possible to change height of status bar using Developer Options > Simulate Display Cutout > Punch Hole. But it has annoying cutout that can't be centered and/or cant be colored. I wanted to make it transparent.

Confused.  It appears that you have achieved your goal in the first screenshot with Default set for the cutout, as it is not visible (hiding in the actual cutout).  I see no difference in the status bar size between pic 1 and pic 2, so if this is making the status bar larger, it does so with either option set.

There will not be an option to turn ON a black dot, AND make it transparent, as that would defeat the intended purpose.   Setting this to "Default" appears to be the best you can get.

I want to achieve this too.

I am trying to achieve status bar height but no luck. Hope One UI 7 brings some wonders!
