Problem with notification bar notch size (dpi change) - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi everyone. The problem is this is my first xiaomi and first notched (sadly) phone.
I like to change my display size to minimum. With 490 dpi it look awesome. 588 is better but my keyboard becomes unusable.
Problem is notch is not covered with new dpi settings. I found a forum with solution "navigation bar sizing" however not for rn8pro. Higher dpi cause more notch on screen (it is on hiding setting). Is there a fix for this? Black hiding with complete notch coverage at any dpi setting is the blessing.

DPI interface

Hello. Сhanged the width of the screen, because the interface seemed too small. And then the incorrect display in the shutter in the form of an alarm icon. Can there is an option to change the dpi without artifacts?
I use stock rom 7.0

Font size reduction / Quick settings icons

Hello All,
1) Just as the title reads, is there a way to reduce the font size further than the lowest option from Settings > Display > Font size ? I just want maybe a little bit more. (PS: I'm trying to get the same font size and consistency as my OP7 Pro)
2) Is there a way I can change the quick settings icons's to reflect Google stock icons or Oxygen OS icons ?
I think for 1) above, rooting might be a way as i've done this in the past with my HTC phones. I havent had to root my last few phones but on the Note10+ the font seems to be absurdly large and its bothering me. My OCD is not helping either.
Any suggestions on getting around this will be much appreciated !
I like small fonts, and status bar icons, I set the dpi to 549 in developer option

Amazing, thats all i ever needed ! You saved me from rooting
Yes the only way to reduce fonts is to change dpi... but what dpi number is another problem..!
If you use the samsung keyboard, yes, a problem arises, as the keyboard becomes smaller when you increase dpi, I use AI type keyboard, it is not affected by dpi settings, appart from this I have not found any other problem

I noticed that, but it's much better than dealing with abnormally large text and icons everywhere. I'll probably use swift keyboard or keep tuning the dpi until I find a sweet spot.

Issue with dialer on higher custom dpi

Hi Guys, so I've increased the dpi to custom under developer settings to 581. Everything seems to work great except for touch position on the dialer and it's pretty irritating. Anyone knows a solution to this or to selectively reduce the dpi on tbe dialer app? I'm not rooted. Look at the screenshot of the issue. Thanks!
I use 589, and no issues, but with 600, the notifications panel becomes very narrow, but no issues with anything else
i use 480 w lowered font size and "fineprint" font.... everything works perfect

Tried 589 and same issue. Can you confirm you don't have the issue on your dialer? Weird why this would be.
I just double checked, at 589, the dialer is normal, but, I have the screen resolution at wqhd+, fhd gives me some troubles in the zone of the nav bar, and I say zone because I hide the nav bar, gestures work ok, but, buttons appearing there become unresponsive, the same for the bottom row of the keyboard

For some reason I still have the issue in the OP screenshot. I've resorted to 520 now with QHD+, things are slightly better on the dialer but still largely the same.

Force apps into notch area and make status bar toggles and notifications smaller

Is there any way to force apps in the notch area and not have black bar there I tried the full screen mode in settings and even some immersive mode apps and nothing helped.
Also is there a way to make status bar toggles and notifications smaller? I have set smallest display mode but that only affects menus
Thanks
Here's what I did on my P30 Pro to make notifications smaller. It works systemwide too.
Open Developer Options, scroll down to DRAWING section, at the bottom is a setting for Smallest width. Increase whatever the number is by an amount of, say, 10dp at a time until you get your desired size and appearance.
After experimenting with values I found that merely increasing from stock value of 423dp to 430dp made a big (smaller) difference.
I also have the text size set @ normal and display size set @ small.

No problem, I'm glad that's helped with part of your solution.
I much prefer smaller font and icons, to me it makes the UI look more polished.

Question Changing size on the status bar

Okay so after a lot of research I found a way to change the size of the status bar. Basically I think that the outter screen's status bar text is too small. The steps I did was :
1- enable developer's option
2- minimum width set to 320dpi
The texts got bigger but not as big as the inner screen (though almlost there). I tried changing to other smaller values but it doesnt make it anh larger.
If I go to "Simulate display with cutout" and and choose "waterfall cutout" it does get as big as the inner screen" but when I put back to "default" then it gets smaller.
Any ideas to make it bigger than the 320dpi setup above ?
Thank you.
