Q: Any tips on darkening iOS 10 notifications background?

I have a very dark (nearly all black) lock screen on iOS 10, and I am finding it difficult to read notifications. They used to be white text on a dark background, making it easy for my old eyes to read. Now it is gray text on a gray background, and I have to squint and really pay attention.

 

I've tried inverting the colors under the "Accessibility" settings, but of course that makes the entire system slightly challenging to use and it's a bit extreme just to read notifications. I've tried increasing contrast and font size all with no real help. I've tried different color backgrounds, but the text color is unchanged and so it's basically too light for me to read.

 

Does anyone have any other tips for increasing the contrast between the text and background of notifications?

 

Thank you!

 

P.S. Yes I've already done the Apple Feedback form.

iPhone 6, iOS 10
