Hide Status Bar Bleeding in Gingerbread - T-Mobile LG G2x

As we know black notification bar of Gingerbread makes the led bleeding more noticeable in the corners. I for one don't notice it often but it IS still there in the left hand corner. The right side has minimal bleeding but it is hidden by the time display.
A solution to the left side bleeding is to download an app called Bar Control. It allows you to put any app of your choice into the left corner of the notification bar. The contrast from the icon(s) you place in that corner make the bleeding pretty much invisible. I find that I only need to place one icon to hide the issue but some may need 2 or more depending on how bad their's is. Worked out for me. I can look directly into the left corner and not see any leeding so I figure I'd share my experience. Hope this helps someone enjoy their phone a little more.
I'd like to learn how to theme for those like me who were a fan of the vanilla notification bar.

Appreciate the tip. Will give it a shot when I finally get a chance to flash CM7 as I have backlight bleed slightly in the left hand corner as well, though very minimal in the right hand corner.

Yea but whats worse, a barely visible bleed or a bright annoying icon?
Actually a great fix is one that is in EaglesBlood, where the top bar is 2-tone sort of like the Sense themes. The top tone destroys any visible signs of a backlight bleed and doesn't have a horrible icon just chilling there.

Well the icons don't bother me and its actually nice having the app u chose in the bar.

[Q] Lightbleeding across the top of the display

On my Nexus 5 I have a slight lightbleeding on the top of the screen. It goes all the cross the top. Have anyone seen this on their device?
The weird thing about it is, that it is almost invisible when the topbar is black, but very much visible when the topbar is e.g. blue, red, yellow, …
I'm not even sure what it is, maybe it is just a nocebo effect, I think it is there so it is and it is annoying the hell out of me.
I attached a photo of it, It was made next to a window with low backlight.

Solid Navigation Bar

I want a solid notification bar so games appear a little bit smaller without using exposed. The top edge of the game must sit under the notification bar.
I originally wanted a small window that apps would run inside with no luck finding one.

silly status bar with notch question

I cannot deny, I LOVE this device. Everything working flawless so far ?.. Call me nuts, I like the notch more than I probably should. I've searched through this forum and through settings a few times, but maybe I'm overlooking it...
Question is, I'm noticing the left side of the status bar can fit the time and also 4 icons, effectively fitting them right up to the notch. The right side is only fitting battery icon and cell service info while anything else gets the dots. Am I missing a setting to fit more info on the right side? Or did OnePlus purposely waste status bar real estate? Pic for reference.
I think that's the expected (by 1+, at least) beahiour.
Agree with you, the 3 dots is annoying.

I can get 4 icons on the right (battery, cell, vibration, and Bluetooth) for example.

Hmm I tried a bunch of combinations and ended up realizing a couple of them default to the 3 dots... When I put on all of the ones you mentioned they do indeed stack up. Maybe there's no alarm icon in the system files lol ?. Oh well. Thanks for the input
Have you tried to set display size to small with small font in display settings?

Full Screen Or Hide Notch

What setting do you guys prefer? Notch or notch hidden? I have mine full screen with notch it doesn't bother me and I think it looks pretty nice
Full screen with notch shown. Hidden just looks ugly imo

Ya I think it looks better with the notch as well I don't mind it without tho it still looks clean
Hiding the notch borks some things like Android Auto. I got used to it very quickly and prefer the full screen.
I have it full screen as well. Also I use Nova launcher and I use the gesture swipe up to toggle/hide the status bar. That also hides the notch on the fly but also hide all the status bar info unless you pull down. Just thought that was an interesting way to hide show the notch on the fly.
I also have full screen with notch. I thought it would bother me but it doesn't.
With notch, like most others, it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would and actually looks nicer than the entire top blacked out.

Some of us OnePlus 6 users, who connect to infotainment systems, for Android Auto, have discovered we don't have a choice. If the notch is hidden, the car's touch screen doesn't respond. The image displayed might not even fit.
It's great to have a choice. But, without an update from OnePlus, some of us are finding there's no option.
Before my own hand was forced, I hadn't made up my mind as to which I preferred.
And Nova Launcher provides some extraordinarily useful settings, for making the most of a navigation-button-free landscape, on this device's screen.
Can't believe I'm the only one so far hiding the notch! Not that I hate it or anything, I just think it looks better hidden. It helps balance it with the chin.
I've been switching back and forth...kinda like them both actually...but I mostly leave the notch
Hello, guys!
What does everyone mean by hiding the notch? Just making it black or disabling the notch area completely? Is there any ROM with the ability to turn off the notch area and move notifications beneath the notch so that I could have just a normal status bar with a long row of icons?

By default, "hiding" the notch, simply turns it to black background. That never made sense to me, so I just left it as is. I'm also interested in an option the move the status bar below the notch, so I can see more notifications.
Black status bar in my op6 - so ntoch hidden. Not bother me at all and there is enough space for icons, and more space on display itself.

I'd also like this option.
I really don't mind the notch at all. If anything I wish most apps would allow me to fill it totally when in immersive mode instead of blacking it out. Many apps don't use the space.

Weird darker bar and navigation buttons appearing over other apps

Recently I've noticed that a dark low opacity stripe has appeared on my phone, from the top to about a quarter of the top of the phone, it is constantly there, although it is a lot easier to see on darker backgrounds, and alongside it there are transparent navigation buttons on the same spot they normally are. I've already done the usual reboot, changed launchers and all that, anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it? Can't really post a picture of it since screenshotting doesn't actually show the dark areas
