I just tested Sony music player and Simple Apps Music Player.

See the attached file.

Simple files btw is recommended by @Strampke as a nice set of usefull adfree apps.

Hey @Frankey78, have you tried adjusting the font size by tapping Settings - Accessibility - Font Size?

I did change the font size. It didn't help. I tried different apps that use the 4x1 size widgets. Play Store version or fdroid store. Different Launcher. All with the same result. The phone is new and I didn't root it or something

Hey @Frankey78, have you tested the phone in safe mode as well to check if one of your apps is affecting it or not?
