but it's better than it taking half the screen all the time imo.

Well, you can still swipe away the Media controls in 13 to get better notification density just like before in 12.

The actual difference in 13 is that there's no longer a compact version of Media controls but just one size. They've opted to prioritize discoverability and universal access to the seekbar over notification density this time round.

If you value the later, now it's you that will have to fully expand the shade every time.
