What's wrong with the shape of the notifications? I have an old phone with the old notification style and a new phone with the new notification style. I find the new style preferable - neater and more esthetically pleasing. It's also easier to read and much easier to separate multiple notifications from the same app; and all the notifications from the different apps are separated.
Hi raided 🙂 Your frustration is completely valid. But good news is you dont have to wait for a system update to get rectangular cards back! Samsung gives you all the power to adjust notification corner rounding directly through Good lock: Open Good lock and launch theme park Select quick panel tab at the bottom and tap create new. Look for the corner radius slider/icon near the top right sliding it all the way to the left will remove the rounded corners and turn your notifications back into sharp rectangles
@AAbbott that version number (11.02.02.master141345) explains everything! We are on the exact same Theme Park build since the last recent update. In this specific build update, Samsung completely removed/deprecated the corner radius slider from the quick panel editor for everyone (leaving only blur and color picker). The steps I posted worked on the prior release but this current theme park build, Samsung no longer exposes that corner rounding toggle in the UI.
...Genuine question, no judgement, are you using an LLM to assist your answers? If so, it seems like it may be hallucinating settings pathways or failing to provide up-to-date answers.
If you are on the same build, wouldn't the feature be removed for you as well, making the advice outdated? Is that why your screenshots did not contain the setting you describe?
Not trying to be confrontational, genuinely confused about the advice here.
Recommending an entirely separate notification history viewer that requires sliding up on the lock screen handle doesn't solve the issue. The OP is asking for a way to change card shapes directly in their main notification shade. Telling users to bypass the main panel with Notistar misses what is actually being requested...
They were complaining about an esthetic, so I offered a solution to that esthetic. They don't have to use it. It is actually not really any different than you giving an erroneous solution when you did not not first check the app or put up screen shots with the actual information you were describing.
How, what? Using Notistar is pretty much self explanatory. Just go through the settings and choose the options you want. You will still get notification bubbles in the notification panel, but you can dismiss them. An indicator will be added to your lock screen and you can adjust the transparency and color of the handle. You would then slide up on the icon and all your recent notifications will be there. The worst that happens is that you don't like the app and you can uninstall it.
Just discovered that if you increase your system font size enough, notification cards become rounded rectangles rather than pills.
While you would have to live with a larger font size, these specific font size and zoom settings (see screenshots) seem to be as small as you can get before it reverts to the pill shape.
