You can't change that. It's baked in now.

Round is the new design trend. Samsung resisted it for a few years but gave in, if you wanna see how bad things can get look at the pixel UI. Unfortunately, we're stuck with it for a while until corners come back into vogue.

It's interesting to me that Samsung had a couple of beta test periods (which everyone complained they could not get into, but that's beside the point) and I cannot believe that absolutely no one complained about all the issues now being complained about.  It seems almost as if they exclusively paid heed to the people who actually like the changes and none of the complaints. They just did what they wanted to do.  Create change and havoc for the sake of creating change and havoc.  Had proper large-scale testing taken place, perhaps they would have rethought their decision to come out with this ridiculously flawed and ugly update with features the general public seems to hate.  It may have been best for them to just release Android 15 with the OneUI6.1 integration and worked a bit more on OneUI7.0.  I'm hoping they rethink their decision and OneUI8.0 will maybe actually be more akin to making OneUI6.5.  There's no shame in backtracking to what users actually want.  OneUI7.0 is gonna be like "new Coke".

 

I don't think it's going to win them more market share from new-to-Samsung users.  This is going to make no one say, "Hey, I need to dump my Moto for this cool interface."

This beta was an absolute **bleep** show and, I believe, purposeful. Limited participation, so they could say there was a beta. But One UI 7 design was always going to be crammed down everyone's throats.

I completely agree with everything you said. And I would like to add the search bar being moved to the bottom of the app drawer. I absolutely hate it.

Some of the things you could maybe fix if you have the Good Lock app. I have it because I insist on having my apps 5x5. It also has a lock screen editor. I haven't looked through it too much, though, so I don't know how much it can do.

It is my understanding you can move the search bar back to the top.

Do you know how? I Googled it, and from what I read you can't. I feel like I looked everywhere in the settings too, but it's easy to miss things.

I don't have the update yet, so I am not sure.  I remember @Robin621k mentioning it early on, but I cannot find the post at the moment.  I am sure it's somewhere in the settings if you tap the dot menu on the search bar.  If it is not there, it may be a customization option in Good Lock's Home Up module. If I find the info, I'll come back and post it.

No such option. The only other thing you can do with Home Up is toggle the search bar in task changer.

I tagged someone who I am sure told me it can be done, I suspect they will respond at some point. As I said, I don't have the update yet.
