In a perfect world, you would have the ability to eliminate the At A Glance widget from your Pixel device. This has been a major frustration for many Pixel users when it comes to their home screen. Fortunately, there are indications that Google is working on a solution that will allow users to remove the widget, with the feature expected to be included in the Android 16 QPR3 update scheduled for March.
But for those who appreciate the At A Glance feature, there’s good news on the horizon. Google is making changes to enhance the user experience with this widget.
Currently, the text displayed in the At A Glance widget can sometimes blend in with the background image on your home screen. However, according to reports from Android Authority, Google is testing a new setting that will improve the readability of the widget.

The upcoming setting will introduce a “high-contrast background” for the At A Glance widget, making it more distinct from the wallpaper on your device. Enabling this setting will place the widget on a semi-transparent background instead of directly on the wallpaper. This new background design will accommodate both black and white text and will be visible on the lock screen as well.
The specific timeline for the rollout of this new setting to Pixel devices remains uncertain. Currently, it is only accessible in the QPR3 beta version of Android 16.
