UI 7 update affecting app layout

[mercman]

my tablet and s10 ultra updated to ui 7 , android 15, this morning, now the app icons on the home screen don't fill the whole screen, I have changed the icon size, grid format 8x6 or 10x8 but makes no difference the icons are grouped in the center. also notifications now appear in the top middle when the icon in the top left is clicked, used to opening the top left which I prefer is there a way to change this?

seems that apps and android developers don't understand that tablets are used mainly in landscape mode

Landscape and Portrait orientations each have their own layout in UI 7 and the widgets and apps may require a bit of reorganization by you but also they're slightly smaller in UI 7 compared to UI 6 and so have more space available on the screen(s)

Have you tried it in DEX setup, my apps haven't changed, plus I think the DEX layout looks better

I've also downloaded one UI 7 to my S10 Ultra
