Grayish color on top of screen when using black wallpapers - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hi Guys,
Let my SS speak for itself. Anyone experiencing this? It is really hard to unsee it and very annoying to see especially if I am using black wallpapers.

Have you soft reset you're device?
Because both taskbar and softkey bar will be converted as well.
I've tested them all, and on my device they're all ok.

Hi,
First of all I like your backgrounds.
But now everything is covered in christmas, including the "topbar/systray" and bottom. How do I remove it again and use it simply as a background?
Thanks!

Currently there is no way to my knowledge to use clear or transparent notification bars with lp. But yesterday, I noticed that it would show through With a live wallpaper selected. I also recently downloaded just pictures which comes with a live wallpaper also.
So download Just pictures. Open it and select your favorite wallpaper(s) Long press it and add to favorites. Then go and select the just pictures live wallpaper. Then watch them shine through your previously installed clear taskbar.
I realize this is a live wallpaper and may use a little battery. Though I havnt Noticed any difference.

Interesting. This gave me a theory on why and how to fix it.......I just don't have the time to work on it right now. FINALS /oh noes/

exactly how i feel
anyways, why can't this be done by editing framework-res.apk? i'm pretty sure i had a clear taskbar when i edited mine. i just didnt like the look of the fully clear taskbar because some apps' backgrounds would show through the area where the taskbar went...but the point is it worked? i only use launcherproplus as well
I'm sure if you rip apart lp's Apk you might be able to. However im not that Savy with all that and I'm sure if it was that Easy it would have been done already. Unless devs are just not sharing.

launcher pro and live wallpaper don't work good together for me. it tends to be sluggish when scrolling through screens.
Do u have a quick link to setting up the battery indicator the way u have it displayed? I've been looking for something just like that.
edit: nevermind, found it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848803
Interesting. Are you saying that while using that program, I can choose non-live wallpapers and they would be transparent or only with live wallpapers? If using just images, it shouldn't really drain battery...I don't think...
I agree on the battery drain. And only live wallpapers will work

[REQ] SGS3-like Digital Weather Clock

I would like to make a request for a clock widget similar to the one shown in the galaxy s3 picture below or possibly one similar to the lg ICS weather clock widget shown in the video below that at 2:17

I would be gracious to anybody who could create or find a widget very close to these. I do happen to have a copy of the lg weather widget but I can only use it on the lg launcher, which, although is cool, is not what I want it on.
go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1387518
and ask someone to link you to a SGS3 type clock. Many people have released it.
Unfortunately, the weather on UCCW no longer works due to google API being shut down. Any other ideas? I love the clock.
I know a modified LG weather to look like it, but clock is more left.

It depends. If you're using touchwiz5 launcher I can give you a flashable zip that has the actual clock. If not, then try something else

I am on the touchwiz launcher. And a zip would be great. The other ones I've tried force quit and say "weather main has stopped".
I'm on a rezound running sense 4.0

vs980 Transparent Nav Bar Solution

Edit:
I just used G2 Xposed and set my nav bar to 50% transparency. Done and done. If you have any questions, just ask.
--
I've read a transparent is possible with certain settings but I've also read that it is not possible. I'm half way there but I need the help of others.
Right now, I do have a transparent navigation bar on top of Nova Launcher. My only issue is the gradient behind the dock items and I'm not sure how to get rid of it. Anyone else run into this issue?
My Device:
VS980 - Malladus 4.2.2 - Nova Launcher - Xposed Framework w/ G2 Xposed

You'll just need to uncheck the 'show shadow' option under the desktop settings and you'll be good to go.

It has been a while since I last used Nova and the suggestion above sounds good but in case it does not solve the issue I would look at the Dock options in Nova and see is there is a transparency option there. By the way your screen looks it seems to be shaded from Nova on the Dock.

Lol no problem. Right after doing some xposed stuff I can understand not realizing it was a separate issue.

I'm on the hunt for a new icon pack. If you feel like it, post a screen shot of what you've found to be great, unusual, colorful and BIG packs that handle a lot of different apps - and of course that look great on the LG G3.
ive been using this one for a while. I have a lot but usually come back to this one.
