Hard to Read Notification Area on One UI 8

[whitewingjek]

I updated my Samsung Tab S10 FE to One UI 8 and noticed that the notification area is less transparent and harder to read. Is this the new normal? Was not this way before. Is it a bug or just the way it is? I posted screenshot below.

Seems to be a change made

Is it possible that you have reduce transparency turned on?

If not, have you followed the best practices after an update guide? Sometimes software errors can occur as a result of leftover junk files that need to be cleared out by wiping the device cache.

No that is not enabled. All other transparency areas, like in the app menu works as expected. Just the notification area is hard to read. Will try clearing the cache.

I cleared the cache and its still the same thing. Seems intentional.

I would recommend sending feedback to Samsung via the support tab in this app. Navigate to "Send Feedback" to make your voice heard.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just submitted feedback.

Yeah that's the new design it's easier to read when dark mode is toggled on

Unfortunate, makes is harder to read when not using dark mode. Even using Good Lock and Quick star with styling you can't change the transparency.

I prefer dark mode so it's perfect for me easy to read. I've never used light mode
