Samsung Internet search widget

[usercqwue5IH4z]

I am trying to add a Samsung Internet search widget to my home screen and set it to maximum transparency. I slide the transparency setting to high and I can see the change in the widget. However, as soon as I press OK to save settings the transparency immediately changes back to low (i e. Widget is no longer transparent). I have tried deleting etc and I have sent the problem with a video to Support however they have been unable to recreate the problem. Could anyone do me a quick favor and see if they can recreate this problem? Thanks

@usercqwue5IH4z I see what you mean. It appears that the preview when you are editing the transparency does not actually match the result. Going for the lowest transparency on the slider makes it lighter dark but not really transparent. 

I suggest that you submit a bug report using the Samsung Members app.

From what I am experiencing testing that out. If iset it to match phone setting between screen background (that does not work), light and or dark will not work either, where the latter two is only transparent if the background is either black or white (which means transparency does not work correctly).

I suggest using Google search as the Samsung version defaults to the engine when you open that widget anyway. It's transparency work a bit better, but one can set the hue/saturation to match the background making it look like it is transparent. Here is the widget settings example unmatched and matched. Note I set the hue/saturation under the custom choice an the one I made is not totally matched, but it can be and I did this fast It does not change the the icon tones like the G (they remain static) within the search bar, so that could be an issue.
