Widgets transparency settings not working

[usercqwue5IH4z]

When I insert the Samsung Internet search widget on to the home screen I increase the transparency. However as soon as I press ok, the widget goes back to being opaque. Has anyone else experienced this behavior? 

Also most of the other widgets for Samsung apps no longer have a transparency setting. The only choice is clear or with a background color which is very jarring against my background. Samsung can you please bring back the s24 widgets. They worked perfectly fine.

Some widgets don't do transparent

Indeed ‐ I am referring to the ones that do like Samsung Internet search

On the S24 Ultra I had the long Notes widget and the long Device Care widget and they would go full transparency. S25 they no longer do that and their updated icons look atrocious. Much less clean looking than it used to be.

No transparency on the widgets is driving me crazy.

I don't get it why it is even called a transparency setting when there is hardly any noticable change in those 3 options. NowBar is hardly a compensation for this loss, being able to make widgets to our liking 😞

what is a disappointment is the S25 so far, very simple things like this setting to set the widgets to transparent have been cut out. A basic set has come in return that looks graphically awful. The same goes for the app icons by the way . very unfortunate. i hope Samsung puts this option back.

Agree 100%...I was so annoyed when I realised the transparency setting has changed. I like looking at my background themes but now I can't.
