After the update last night on my S23 Ultra, the entire layout color scheme has changed. All buble notifications are now displayed on grey background which makes it very hard to read. How can I change that to white?

Hi JV11,

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue after the latest update.

At this time, there’s no direct setting in One UI to revert notification bubble colors back to white. However, here are a few steps you can try that may help improve readability:

Check Theme & Color Palette:
Go to Settings > Wallpaper & style > Color palette. Try disabling the color palette or switching to a different one to see if it impacts the notification background color.

Good Lock > Theme Park:
If available in your region, Theme Park lets you customize system UI elements, including notification backgrounds, with more control.

We've escalated this feedback to the relevant team. In the meantime, we also recommend submitting an Error Report via the Samsung Members app under:
Support > Error reports > UI/Notifications — this will help our team investigate further.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Thank you, Helenna. I tried your suggestions and none of them any improvement, unfortunately. I filed an error report as you suggested. There was no category "UI/Notifications". I filed it under "other".

Doesnt look that way for me. I tried (without success) to find the particular setting.

My notification background is more transparent, but I think your problem is more associated with the font colour.

If it helps, I'm always on dark mode, and all of my wallpapers are black.

Make sure to disable the theme'd colour pallette, or try a darker wallpaper.

Thank you. My wallpaper did not change. I have the color pallet disabled. And I cannot use the dark mode as my eyes do not respond well. Something changed or got left out during the recent update. Overall, everything got darker. I prefer it brighter aa it is easier to see.
