while xp bar is full with a level it looks way more clear and neat as compared to the java version as seen in the above picture, but when its empty it gives a dark texture which needs to be fixed !
@unknown It is parity thing, nobody ever said that developers can't change texture in the game, Java XP bar texture looks silly and is literally the ugliest texture in the game after OG gravel, it's completely unfitting and looks like it was taken from a different game, before texture update it was ok because game didn't have any specific style at the time, but now it does, and Bedrock XP bar follows it and perfectly fits in the game, and instead of using random noise and ugly gradient it actually has pattern and uses limited color palette which matches game art style, and makes it match other HUD elements for example hearts, the only thing that is wrong with Bedrock's XP bar is that it's asymmetrical which easily can be fixed, and once that will be fixed it should be added to Java and horse jump bar also should be changed to match new texture, obviously this change is intended, it's impossible to accidentally draw perfect texture an overlay for it and make game use it by changing HUD code a little bit, thinking that this is actually a bug and Java XP bar is better (which is not) is just silly,
Here is a simple resource pack that I made that fixes this issue, I made a separate texture file for experience bar to make sure nothing will break (for example loading screen) and redesigned it to be perfectly symmetrical (in a better way than the old texture) while still using a new texture of it that was added in 0.16.0, also I redesigned horse jump bar to be consistent with the new experience bar texture.

The current Bedrock XP bar fits the game art style, unlike the old texture that is still used on Java, which is just a harsh noise pattern, the only actual issue with it is that it’s asymmetrical.
Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Won't Fix.
Please note that this is not the same as Working as Intended, as this bug report correctly describes behavior in the game that might not be the intended or desirable behavior, but it will not be fixed right now. Sometimes, this is because the issue reported is minor and/or impossible to change without large architectural changes to the code base.
