The new ui 7 update is horrible. The music control panel on the lock screen is way too small, i need a microscope to know what is there. The battery icon looks like a pill, why was it changed. I didn't even know it was for the battery for a few minutes. The spilt settings menus should have been an option i had to turn on, not off. Was this the "make everything awful" update?

How do I go back?

 I don't know why  you think you need a magnifying glass to see the music player control on the lock screen's Now bar, looks fine to me.  However, you can add a widget for the music player of your preference to the lock screen and just turn everything off on the Now bar and then it won't show.

You can add any app that has a widget.  You have to use Good Lock/Lock Star.  Then you can tap lock star on the lock screen, tap widgets and add your widget..

The now bar has a mini view and an expanded view for all content.

Have you tried expanding the nowbar to its full size by tapping a non-interactive area, such as album art or song title? The size, shape, and appearance of the expanded now bar player is nearly identical to the legacy media player.
