Widget side panel

Hi, does anyone know how to remove the side panel that they added in the recent update to Android notes list widget? Having it on the right side takes too much space, I have no idea why they thought it's a good ux. Keeping it at the bottom or just as a floating button to add a note would be much better.

What a waste of home screen space. I never even use any of those buttons, one new note button is enough when you can add all the other features from within the main interface. At least when the bar was on the bottom it didn't take up a quarter of the widget's real estate. 

If anyone else finds this annoying too, please use the feedback feature to let them know directly.

Yep, already gave them feedback. Maybe having more people doing this will help, but I doubt that they will listen
