The lock screen using GoodLock allows the battery widget to be fully transparent without any background. The home screen does not.
 
In general, having one battery widget that is in settings only is not ideal. Samsung should consider more battery widget options and controls available to the user.

      One UI 9.0 gives you 4 battery widget choices and allows for background removal

      Thanks for the response. I am running OneUI9 Beta 2 on my 24U.
      Only seeing two widget options and the background removal is not working. Widgets are in Samsung Settings?

      It seems to be a limitation with the third party launcher, Nova I am using.
      Considering moving back to the stock stock launcher. Does the native OneUI launcher have multiple gesture controls? Swipe up, two finger swipe, etc.

      Folder widget seems like a good option! Nova has been rebooted though and has a lot more features. One of the features I really enjoy is to have widgets and feature apps on a scrolling side bar. Choose a gesture to access quickly.
      I use popup widgets by swiping up and down from an app icon or even a folder. The stock launcher does not allow for app icons or folders to have executable functions like Nova. 1791829129337.jpg1791829437662.jpg1791829437705.jpg1791829437745.jpg

      Yes, I've had Nova Prime since 2015. It was 99 cents. I definitely got my money's worth! One of my old Nova setups. The row of icons were pop-up folders.1791830038047.jpg
