Why is this new update so trashy looking? I feel like I'm on a kid's phone.

Android Central Question

The latest mandatory update is in and it sucks. The icons look cartoony and even the alarm screen is trash now. Is there a way to revert?

Samsung? I don't know, we might have some discussion on this -

Can it be reverted? Sure. Do you want to live with the consequences of no more security updates for the last OS version? Possibly not. Samsung has the ability to "theme" your device, play around with that some and see if you can get it more to your liking before you go the "nuclear" route of reverting.

Most of my apps wont go into the fullscreen anymore. There are lots of post on here complaining about the update.
