Transparent nav bar like moto x/g possible? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way from changing the background of the nav bar from solid black to a transparent color outside of the home screen / launcher... 50%....20% or even 0% like the moto x and moto g are ?

With the stock launcher the navbar is already transparent, and with Nova beta it's also transparent. It's a native feature of 4.4.

I meant other than the home screen ...

Not unless a ROM supports it.

which one? thanks!!!

On 4.4, I'm not sure as I have not played with any Roms on my N5 yet. When Paranoid Android comes out I'm sure they will support it. They have in all previous versions.

I had to dump stock for nova launcher, drove me nuts that you couldn't center certain widgets on the stock launcher.

Does the stock launcher allow you to change app icons? I thought I read somewhere that you could..

Yeah, just press and hold the icon and let go. You should see a purple thing on the icon. Press it. Now you can change your icons

Home Screen
Mine is really basic right now as well. I had switched to Nova launcher but when I did, I lost the Knock Knock feature. It'ls pretty damn handy... I hope we see icon packs made for the stock launcher or a way to enable the gestures without needing to use the stock launcher.

I just saw instructions in one of the g2 threads to use the knock feature with nova. I can't find it now. There is another app you need to download and set up the gesture in Nova.

Change icon size?

How do you change icon size on this phone without rooting and while using the Google launcher? Not quite ready to root, yet. And I like the default launcher other than the icon size. A bit big for me.
Thanks.

Wow. That was helpful.

Just won't happen without root. Even then it would probably require changing DPI settings.

Lol that was funny. Just use nova or my favorite Apex launcher. Although I believe Nova is only confirmed to work 100%. You can customize anything!

I was just joking. You will have to root and change the DPI. I have mine on 400 right now and it looks a lot better.

It's cool. No worries.
I did that before on my old HTC One. I just didn't wanna root and wipe out everything in storage by unlocking the boot loader.

Use a 3rd party launcher like Nova or Apex. You can customize everything, including the icon size.

Apex Launcher

Is it possible to make the notification bar transparent and also the 3 touch buttons, like on stock launcher.

Not yet. There should hopefully be an update to the launchers in the play store soon to allow this.

Yeah, I'm trying to like the stock launcher, but despite how pretty it is, I missed being able to change orientation and having more icons on the screen. I feel like the icons are oversized on stock.

No. I believe you need root. Why would you want to remove the nav bar anyways?

Definitely needs root :/ It is not hard though, quite easy (Did it in 10 minutes), that along GravityBox for KitKat did the trick (No NavBar and Pie Controls give you ALL the screen for the apps!)
Yes there is an app for this and it works too. Its paid but not much. Its still in beta though...works in most apps/games too. But there are some bugs too. You can try out if you haven't rooted already
I am a new user so I cant post the link. Just search "immersive" in play store and its ususally the first result. Hope it helps.

PA Colors

Does anyone know if PA Colors will be reintroduced in PA4? Or of any alternative to PA colors? I just like coloring my status bar and nav bar according to the app.
Thanks in advance
