Only in video apps like Hulu and YouTube do I see this come up. It seems like it has to do with the status bar, but not sure what's causing it. Thanks in advance. This is on a Droid MAXX XT1080.
Edit: Well, it doesn't seem to show up when uploaded, but basically the top of the screen gets a transparent bar over it in a shape exactly like the status bar as far as height and width.

Yesterday morning I noticed something strange with the home screen on my desire. The problem doesn't occur on any other of my screens. I hope somebody might be able to help.
The problem - at the very bottom of the screen there is a black rectangle between the white phone icon on the left and the white web icon on the right. See Pic labelled 3. I appreciate its difficult to see but the other photos are better.
The problem appears to be linked to the notification bar. I'm using launcher pro and I'm hiding the notification bar. I have it so when I swipe the app icon the notification bar becomes visible. However, since this morning when I reveal the notification bar with a swipe of the app icon the black rectangle at the bottom moves up and becomes more obvious? See pics labelled 1 and 2. Its almost like an overflow of the notification bar from the top to the bottom of the screen.
The black rectangle only appears on one screen. I updated extended controls app yesterday. However, I didn't uninstall before updating and my phone went a bit funny. So I uninstalled it and installed it and everything was fine.
Last night I went to use a post it widget. But the widgets had vanished? Even though I have the app installed. So I uninstalled and installed. But again the widgets have disappeared again?
The the extended control app is unusable today . I have emailed the makers of extended controls but haven't heard anything from them yet.
I have turned the phone on and off a couple of times but the problem persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone know how to hide the notification bar? When I'm using apps I don't want to see the notification/status bar, as I want to utilize the full screen.
So no way to accomplish this?

I am a "noob", but my experience with the TF is that the notification bar is not part of the viewing screen. I could be way off base here.
Using the Gallery app the notification bar remains, but the icons are dimmed (small dots), touching the area and they appear. . Using Moboplayer the notification bar icons remain bright.
Give it a try and you'll see what I mean
i like to too. i hate that frikken white they used for the nav buttons. stock would have been better. the white is so damn annoying when reading or watching movies (i use mobo so it doesn't hide).
i have tried modaco's rom but since it's the ww version some apps don't show up.
Hello. I have Amazon Kindle Fire running Android 4.0.3 and my problem with 4.0 is the status bar in the bottom doesn't disappear while running full screen app even though I checked the option "Allow combined bar to hide when showing a full screen app" in CM9 setting! well KF display is very wide and the bar makes it wider, and it also really bothers me when I'm watching a video or playing a game! so this is my question any idea how to get rid of this thing? I know there is an option to do that on CM7 and I think this should be possible?
I'm looking for a way to edit my HTC Incredible Notification/Status Bar. I was wondering if there is a way I can make the bar at the top of the screen bigger. I have a case on my phone that I really like and the top of the case stops right as my screen starts. So it is difficult to pull down my notification bar with the case on. I don't necessarily have to resize it if I could move it or maybe get an icon for it, or something.. Any solutions would be appreciated.

I flashed a ROM on to my Galaxy SIII, and everything is great, it is just the icons in the status bar do not look right. They are to far from the edges of the screen, and it is more annoying that I though. I just need to know what file in the ROM holds the data for icon placement in the status bar so I can fix it. Below is a picture of what I am talking about.
PS I hate that battery icon. How can I get the old one back?
