<![CDATA[Android 12 Widget Font & Sharpness]]>I'm on Android 12 . Wind speed on the widget is in white font and impossible to see with the colour coding for low wind speeds.
I have another phone on Android 11 and the same widget has the windspeed font in black. Can't find any setting on Android 12 widget to change the font colour.
Would it be possible for the Android 12 wind speed font colour to be black rather than white?

Furthermore the widget clarity is very poor on Android 12. It's not sharp at all. Font is blurry.

This is not a phone issue nor a widget sizing issue. Windy is the only widget I have seen with poor sharpness like this on Android 12.

Like others before me, I don't have the problem on a Xiaomi running Android 11. On the realme on Android 12, however, the problem is EXACTLY as already described in this thread.

We're 7 months in after this bug was reported and still no fix??? Any update on this? It's not really good enough for a premium service.
And yes, I'm on the latest version of the app, 37.1.8

Yes, I use dark mode. When I go into widget settings the graphic is like I'd see on Android 11. It's only after the widget is added to the homescreen that the font changes to white.

Edit. Changing to light mode does indeed change the font to black and also eliminates the blurry appearance of the widget. But I guess we should have that same clarity and font colour in either dark or light mode.

It's not the transparency. It's the font colour. Transparency doesn't affect font colour. I've tried that. It's white font, which is ridiculous when you consider the colour coding for low wind speed is also white. It's white font on a white background. There is also something not quite right about the sharpness of the Android 12 widget. The font is blurry. It's not like this with any other app or any other widget on Android 12.

Phone is a Realme GT Neo 2 running Android 12.
App version is 34.3.2

Thanks

Just click on the symbol in the bottom right corner and edit appearance, forecast interval, weather model or font size. What Windy version and phone do you use please?
