I can just about let it slide if my bed isn\u2019t perfectly squared away, but you expect layout harmony from your tech. So, when I saw the minor visual design glitches in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/one-ui-7-3429831\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">One UI 7<\/a> that have Redditors up in arms, I couldn\u2019t unsee them.<\/p>\n<p>In one thread, Reddit user EnesG0rkem<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/oneui\/comments\/1k6wxy0\/is_this_just_me_or_it_is_not_properly_centered\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> posted a screenshot<\/a> of the Do Not Disturb toggle. It\u2019s the first image below, and you notice something straight away about the minus icon inside the button.\u201cIs this just me, or is it not properly centered?\u201d they asked.<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of upvotes and despairing comments later, it was clearly not just them. \u201cYou just ruined my life,\u201d one user replied. Another simply wrote: \u201cI\u2019m not OK now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Samsung One UI 7 Do Not Disturb Icon Misaligned\"  alt=\"Samsung One UI 7 Do Not Disturb Icon Misaligned\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Samsung-One-UI-7-Do-Not-Disturb-Icon-Misaligned.jpg\"\/>The inner circle of the Do Not Disturb Icon sits slightly right of center.<img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Samsung One UI 7 Battery Perecentage Icon Misaligned\"  alt=\"Samsung One UI 7 Battery Perecentage Icon Misaligned\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Samsung-One-UI-7-Battery-Perecentage-Icon-Misaligned.jpg\"\/>With battery at full charge, the 100 looks shifted to the right.<\/p>\n<p>The worst part is that\u2019s not even the only example. Another thread <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/oneui\/comments\/1k7ieuu\/100_is_not_even_in_the_middle_of_the_battery_icon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highlighted a similarly maddening misalignment<\/a> \u2014 this time in the battery percentage icon. \u201c100 is not even in the middle of the battery icon, and now I can\u2019t unsee it,\u201d wrote the OP, uploading a screenshot that shows the digits sitting slightly off to the right.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the top responses on this thread suggest unplugging the device when it reaches 99% charge, or limiting the maximum charge for this aesthetic reason. No doubt they were said in jest, but there may well be people who find this type of asymmetry triggering.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t know if these are accidental oversights or deliberate design choices, but a few commenters have floated theories. Some suggest it could be a case of optical alignment, while others suggest pixel shifting \u2014 a technique to reduce the risk of burn-in.<\/p>\n<p>None of this matters in the grand scheme of things. I shouldn\u2019t care about it either, but good luck forgetting them now that they\u2019ve been pointed out to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a tip?
