Just upgraded, and now some things are huge, and other things are small, and it’s a pain in the backside, frankly.
Also, wtf is with that battery icon? It’s MASSIVE, and ugly, and the only way to make it smaller is to adjust text scaling, which then makes all other text much too small.
FFS Google.
I’m actually glad the brought back adjustable notification shade widgets. Now I can see up to 8 icons where it used to be just 4 huge pills for network, Bluetooth, flashlight, airplane mode, etc
Ooh, I didn’t know about that, thanks for the heads up! So much better! 😁
On GrapheneOS I don’t see those changes, just as a data point.
The battery icon looks the same too
Edit: that could be a GrapheneOS thing though, I don’t know. Maybe they didn’t make those changes, I still haven’t read the changelog
OP is probably on the quarterly update, which GrapheneOS doesn’t have yet. “Material expressive” is a big change in this update
Same. I’ve not noticed any significant changes.
Thanks, good to know it hasn’t caused issues for many people, at least. Never tried Grapheme maybe it’s time to give it a shot 😁
Yeah, the battery icon is ridiculous, but I find the text generally easier to read.
I haven’t experienced the too large/too small behaviour that you mentioned.
Yeah, I mean it’s not that things are outlandishly big, but the text on, for example, the BBC News app, or Sync for Lemmy are both now noticeably smaller than before and the battery, wifi and mobile data icons are noticeably larger (plus larger than the app icons at the other end of the notification bar).
Adjusting scaling to sort one issue tends to exacerbate the other.
I’ll just need to play around with it until I find a compromise. Such a pain! 😁
Looks fine to me, does yours look different?
What phone are you using? Haven’t had any change in text scale or battery icon size on the Pixel 9
Pixel 6 Pro here. Glad it’s not had a widespread effect. Very annoying, but I’ll just have to adjust individual app settings to try and find a happy compromise.
