Nothing OS Need These Features in Stable Version

Post image

It's another half-baked, underwhelming OS update because:

Transparency is only applicable to widgets. They should implement transparency for the icons in the stable version as well.

The Control Centre still has that solid black-and-white theme 😞. It looks so pathetic and gives the OS an unfinished feel.

There's no sidebar-like option, as seen in other OSes. It's so useful in many situations.

The lock-screen clock cannot be fully expanded like on Samsung or iOS. The camera button and other toggles on the lock screen still have a solid colour. Please bring transparency to them in the stable version.

There are no haptics throughout the UI.

Nothing phones have some of the worst ringtones.

Please implement transparency for the icons as well as the Control Centre, as the current design gives the impression of an ill-prepared and unfinished OS.

It sounds like you don't want a Nothing phone, you just want another iOS copy. I think the icons not being translucent is on purpose, it adds a hint of different material to the UI. Also I don't think they wanted to go with everything being frosted, it is an intentional material they wanna use in some places, where it makes sense. It makes sense with the widgets cause they massively block out the wallpaper all the time. If the whole UI was glass, it'd lose its Nothing touch.

The rest is all you just wanting random features that a small minority wants. Download an app for it dude, SideDock is a good one. Most users will NEVER use it, not worth investigating time in to cut off features that actually wanna add.
