Hello all,

I recently updated my S7 to Android 8 and I remain unconvinced with the new Always on Display (AOD).
On Android 7, I could set a background to my AOD, but it seems that this feature has disappeared with the arrival of Android 8.
To put everyone on the same page, I do not mean setting a picture from your gallery on the AOD. Also I do not mean changing the colors of the digital numbers themselves. Rather, give a blueish or reddish tan to the background behind your digital clock.
Has anyone the same issue with their Galaxy S7 or am I just not seeing the feature?
If it really disappeared, I would like to ask the Samsung team to look further into it.
Thank you all.

it looks like it's gone.... the only thing I can find is changing the numbers themselves but not the background behind the numbers...

Samsung unfortunately removed the feature :( The AOD was really dumbed down I've noticed. Alot of the clock faces are gone.
