I just got one ui 9 update on my s26u. What was samsung thinking making the bars so thick?! Is there no way to make them thinner?

      Nope, can't change the thickness. The thickness stays the same. You can remove them or make them a shorter slider or simply a button. Could the Good Lock give us some kind of QuickStar modifications in the future, I wouldn't be opposed to that. 😁 I'm on a Z Fold 7, so mine don't feel or appear to be as thick.

      It really is a bit much.

      Making the icons and sliders smaller was requested numerous times by multiple people during the beta. Clearly, this is the way Samsung intended to go.

      That's not entirely true. I got 2 requests while in Beta. Ai Select toggle and ongoing chip in the notification area of the status bar. The latter being added to QuickStar.

      UI aesthetics will never be acted upon.

      That's likely because neither of them messed with the design esthetic they wanted to go with, and I am sure they got myriad heat on that AI select business from people outside the beta, as well, through the feedback link.

      Big fan of symmetry myself, but somehow those blank spaces do not bother me.

      It would bother the heck out of me!

      I'm a little retentive!

      I would add two more controls, but that's the max that are allowed, apparently. When I try to edit to add more, ther are no options - I know there are more contrils, I guess I won't see them unless I delete one.

      Looks cool once you customize it

      Hi micolio 🙂
      A very vocal group spent months in the feedback channels expressing their upset that they couldn't see anything in the UI. Looks like Samsung actually took them seriously and delivered. Strange out that works, right? Hopefully we will have Good lock custom tools back soon to correct this on our end individually. 😉

      I agree they look rly ridiculous! I hope they will bring back the old looking design instead of this...
