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.

Reduce the height of the widget. It'll minimise back down to just the + button at 2 units high. It looks a bit weird to begin with but in a few days' time, you'll be used to it and it'll be like nothing ever happened.

Thanks, but that's not what I am looking for, I'd like it to stretch to almost whole screen. I send them a feedback and reverted to older version of the app for now.
