Please make the home screen clock widgets digits bigger, it's very small and out of place when used on a bigger phone like s24u, and for all the other widgets as wellz the blur background ratio to the actual data showing on the widget is poorly designed, its an eyesore. I'm talking about clock, battery and all the other Samsung apps widgets,


And also bring back the animated characterback on the weather widget

A lot of the widgets have gotten lousy "updates," in OneUI making the widget borders take up more space, but not the info (the purpose of the widget, Samsung!) Overall enshittification & uglification in the recent One UI versions.

Previously, an "update" (5 to 6 iirc) changed the fabulous Google books widget from a cool image of four of your books overlapping slightly in a cascade, blocking your chosen wallpaper only where the books covered it. You could scroll through your whole collection of books just by touching the book stack & scrolling. Bring the one you want to the front & click to open it.

<span;>The next OneUI "update" changed the widget to one showing the whole book covers inside a frame. It also replaced the direct scrolling function with an added banner section unnecessarily including the name of the app and arrows you click to scroll through the books. The entire thing blocks out your background wallpaper.</span;></span;></span;></span;>

Why were the clock numbers changed to make them smaller? It makes no sense, if the user wants the numbers to take up the entire space the widget is allocated it should be possible! There is so much empty space around the numbers now and I can no longer read the numbers easily. This is not a design complaint its a usability complaint. Widgets are there for the data they communicate to the person using the device not to just look pretty. if you can call a big rectangle pretty. Do people who make these things even speak to, little lone test these things with people that have disabilities to ensure they aren't making things harder for people who just want to use the device and were able to do so before the UI update.
