I've always used "reduced transparency and blur" option on my Samsung devices alongside dark mode and black wallpaper. Everything was fine and easy on the eyes until they decided to make it grey instead of pure black in android 14 . It looks hideous and I don't understand why they did this . We should at least get the option to make it black
Yes, it's always nice to have options. I too get annoyed when great features are suddenly taken away. Have you tried using the Good Lock app and it's associated modules? I do and I've got my dropdown to look really pleasing to the eye.
