Text alert icon...hate it!!

[Android Central Question]

I really hate the new update! I'm Having alot of issues...but the thing that really bothers me is that they changed how you get text alerts! I like the old way where you can see who it's from and it goes across the screen. I hate that its a little icon in the top middle of the screen...and bc it's white I can't see it ! I do not want to change my background bc it's a pic of my kids!! Is there anyway to change the color and size of that very little notification square ?

Welcome to Android Central!

As the user above me stated, you can download a different SMS app in order to change the icon appearance and colour. I'm personally a huge fan of Textra - you can change the colour of your text notification icon. I've used white, pink, purple... The possibilities are endless!
