Is it me, or does every big Update screw up more than it "fixes"?
The Battery Strength icon on the lock screen was fine before the last update. Now it's difficult to read. I assume there is no way to change it? Tried, but nothing I found seemed to work.

Of course it looks easier to read when blown up, but glancing at the phone, it can be more difficult than the old icon.

Doesn't look like you have Material 3 yet

When was that released? My Updates page says Android is up to date, outside of a bunch of apps. My battery icon was much better before. Yours has a different color, which does make it a little easier to read than my monochromatic one. Guess I figured all these things were tweakable :(.

It should have come with the last update, this is my pixel 10 pro XL but before I returned my 9 pro xl I had updated it to the new material 3 so it's strange you haven't gotten it yet. The tweaking I did with the wallpaper setting with color for lock screen

I can't seem to find the setting within Wallpaper & Style to change any colors.
How do I know if I have Material 3?

That's how my battery % icon looks...monochrome. It turns color when I'm charging.
Do you use the At a Glance widget on your home screen? The current temp is even smaller than that battery number. That's what I take issue with.

Yes to At a Glance...The problem is putting the percent number inside a bubble, then add a gradient. Pick one or the other, it's too small and cluttered. temp is a clean looking number with no bubble around it, much easier for me to read, albeit a bit small
