Ive been anticipating the one ui 7 update but once I had it, I'm disappointed. The widgets are hardly customizable.

1. The weather and clock widget has a default background depending on the weather (blue when sunny, dark blue when night, dark when raining). I don't like it. I just want the black/white background before where you can adjust the transparency.

2. I also don't like the volume control. It's so rounded. Everything is so rounded.

3. The notification slider also now takes more space and you can't modify or remove the panel. You can only edit the icons but the panel below are default. Im hardly using them and I want them remove but that option is not available.

4. The search bar in the app screen layout is moved below. It's no longer in the top and the shading of it takes too much space in my screen and it is distracting. It's ugly.

5. The priority mode when gaming is changed. You can no longer just click one button to change to priority mode, instead, you have to go to Modes and Routine and modify that. So many prodecures to make just for one single change. It's a lot harder and inconvenient now.

I really dont like it. Overall it's ugly. I regret updating my phone to One Ui 7. I hope they will bring back the changes. One Ui 6 is a lot better.

Nahhh some third party apps like that comes with ads and it could compromise the security if your phone. Those can't be trusted.

Good Lock is made by Samsung exclusive their devices to further customize and personalize our Galaxy devices.

I totally agree, I have an s23 ultra and it feels like a fake ui, everything is so big and rounded and also colorful and eye straining. I don't understand why they made 2 separate menus for notifications and settings when you could have only one with less friction. I think that word describes this update the best, friction, becaude everything requires more taps more swiped more everything to do the same thing

Yes on the weather widget. Vol control can be customized using goodlock app. Notification can be reverted (panel settings), i don't use search bar, yes there's no more priority mode in game booster. Somehow, samsung changed things that don't need to be changed :(

Edit: you can change the weather widget's background. When you long press the widget- settings- toggle off background
