Hi @Matt785, welcome to our community!

I just added the email widget on a updated Sony Xperia Z3 and it's indeed not transparent like some of the other widgets.

I thank you for this feedback and I will make sure to forward it internally.

Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with!

Hi! this problem is obviously not yet solved. It's only confirmed by Sony. But still, the e-mail widget has no transparency.

Hi @mekaniker,

You are correct, the e-mail widget is not transparent.

I forwarded the user feedback from @Matt785 internally and I will do the same for you.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with and have a great day!

Hello Jonas,

I am experiencing the same issue with the Email widget transparency. Not sure why this needs to be internally. However, could you help me as well to solve this issue? I have Xperia Z3, Android version 6.0.1.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Darko

Hi @Darko_Jovanovic,

I only work with technical support for our products, so the feedback I have received regarding this I have forwarded to the concerned department (internally), I'm afraid there isn't much I can do from my end.

I thank you for your feedback and I will forward it. Do note that I can't make any promises that this will be changed in a coming update.

Let me know if there is anything else!

This shouldn't be closed. we used to be able to have this be translucent like the calendar, and now we can't. Now they don't match, which is stupid.

Forwarding it into the abyss isn't a solution. It's you brushing us off. is the old matching email widget no longer available?

Hi @zero_vertical,

This has certainly not been closed.

I have forwarded feedback from a couple of users and I will gladly forward your thoughts as well.

As I said previously, I can't make any promises that this will be changed and I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause for all of you.

+2 from me.

Xperia Z5 & Xperia Z5 Compact, both on most recent Android 7

The calendar widget looks classy, but the mail widget crashes the look.

Please give us an update on the matter, as it shouldn'y cause too much trouble to restore some working code from previous versions.

Kind regards

Dominik

Hi, any news on this topic?
my email widget look has also changed (no longer transperent) since the latest system update ~2months ago. I think I don`t need to write how much I like it now...
Personally, I can`t get why usually, during system updates such small and (presumably) easy things that make the difference are being taken away from users....:smileyconfused:

Hi @artur_p, welcome to our forum!

I'm afraid that I do not have any information on why this decision was made or if this will be changed later on.

I will make sure to forward your thoughts on this as well and since you really enjoyed a transparent email widget.

Have you checked if there is another one that you can download in the Google Play store that suits you better? If you haven't done that, please do and if you find one that you like, please write about it in this thread since the other users may also be interested in one!
