I just switched to the S26 and have been spending way too much time to try to mimic my old phone. Three things I can't figure out are with the swipe down of quickview 

1. Where are the labels/names of the apps or features? I used to just see them and didn't have to memorize what the icon stood for AND secondly didn't have to do an extra step to show them. Can this not be adjusted to have the names under the icon automatically?

2. How do I adjust the color of the swipe down? I don't even have dark mode on and the Dropdown is all dark. I want white like old UI. 

3. I get notifications and I can't just swipe down from the top. I have to make sure I'm on the top left of my phone otherwise I'll just get the quickview swipe down. How do I change this? I used to swipe down and I would get a few Quick access icons AND my notifications. I could pick what I wanted. Now I have to be in the right swipe place to get the right thing. 

#4 adding one more. I know Fast Charging is apparently the standard but seeing how Samsung doesn't include a brick anymore with phones, they're relying on everyone just buying these, which I have a lot more standard bricks than my one fast charger. How do you get the battery to show if it's fast or cable charging like the old way it used to tell you?. I can't find a setting or display anywhere to figure this out. 

Many of these changes seem like wasted time to do extra steps and I'm not sure why if they're supposed to make upgrades, they do downgrades. Any help to these issues?

      I dont think it's possible

      #2
      You can use GoodLock / Theme Park to change the Quick Settings background color.

      #3
      Panel Settings (top left when editing). Change it to together.1792987365359.jpg1793000025644.jpg

      Thanks for #3! #1 I was saying that this is an extra step and I want the file names right under the icon like it used to be without having to do an extra step. Is this not possible anymore?

      1. Settings > Home Screen > Show App Labels

      2. Settings > Display > Privacy Display > Conditions for Turning On

      3. You figured out

      4. I don't have any slow chargers nearby to test this on, but IIRC when I plug in my cable the battery percentage briefly lights up in blue when fast charging or green for a regular.

      Thank you for the response. 1. Answer you gave is for the homescreen not the quick drop down.

      4. I did read a color pops up for a moment but I'm asking if there's a way to have the words fast charging, cable Charging, etc. Like the older phones had.
