Media controls on One ui 7 Question

[Gulf_]

I am still on one ui 6.1, but I am reluctant to update as this is a feature I use daily and do not want the now bar or put a widget there from lockstar. Is it possible to have this style of media controls on one ui 7? 

My main phone is a S21 Ultra, and I have a S23 Ultra my dad uses to test things out before I do it on my phone, like one ui 7.

My lockscreen media play on my S25 Ultra
First screenshot is with it playing on the now bar and if you touch the now bar it comes up with screenshot #2

I'm not so sure if I like that or not-
That's why I'm wondering if it is possible to get the android 14 style media player in android 15.

Hi Gulf_,

At this time, the media player on the lock screen has been updated to follow the newer Android design style — featuring a more dynamic, pill-shaped layout with waveform animation. The compact media card you're currently using in One UI 6.1 may no longer be available in the same form after the update. 

We understand how important this layout can be for your daily use, and while LockStar may offer some customization, it currently does not fully replicate the old style without using widgets.

If this style isn’t working well for your daily use, you may consider holding off on updating other devices until more customizations are added.

Thank you.

Thanks for your input. I currently have autorestart and auto download off until something similar is added to one ui 7. If not I will stay on 6.1 until the foreseeable future.
(I also have a 6.1 ROM in the event I absolutely need to return if I would like, using a tool such as Odin.)
