My 7 mini does this annoying thing where the home screen and notification tray brighten and dim or change slight tones in color - I can't tell exactly which. It only does it on my home screen , if I slide down notifications in any app the the color of the tray stays the same. Anyone else have an issue like this?
The notification tray changes color depending on the colors of the wallpaper. That's not an issue, if that's what you mean.

Thanks but that's not what I mean. If I swipe down the notification tray changes tone in color. If I swipe down again to show all quick settings it changes color again. If I swipe up once back to just notifications , it changes color again. Finally, if I go home the same effect happens on my wallpaper. Same thing happens if I swipe up to open app drawer.

Oh, I see what you mean. I noticed this a long time ago and it didn't bother me. Unfortunately, you'll have to live with it. Perhaps, it only works with some colors, though. My panel is green right now and it's not darkening/brightening when I pull down quick settings as usual. Try using a wallpaper with a different color instead.

I'm not sure why this happens, and therefore I'm posting this here.

So, notification bar and navigation bar get transparent when using home screen, for some reason. I'm not sure does Nova Launcher or some setting on AOKP do this. They revert back to black when using any app. It looks nice on lock screen, but not so nice on the home screen, as you can see from the screenshot.
I did search for this, but didn't find anything, so I thought that someone here could help me to disable it. :highfive:
I'm using AOKP, Nova Launcher and Franco Kernel.
I dont know how to turn it off, but for the ugliness on the homescreen, turn of shadows in apex settings>Homescreen

Thanks for this, but it really doesn't take away the problem :/ I would just wanna get solid theme.
I also noticed that if I put transparency to my application menu, it will show transparent bars too.

I'm sorry, then I can't help anymore. I don't own this device so I don't have enough experience. :/

The transparency is set by the rom. To change it just change the opacity in ROM Control for both the navigation and notification bars.
The transparency only really works in the launcher (home pages, lock screen and app drawer). Apps don't draw behind the navigation or notification bars (there's no background behind the bars) hence they only show as black. At least that's my understanding of how it works.
Edit: To disable transparency set the opacity to 100%.

Hmm, I couldn't find the right toggles from the settings, could you write the route to the right one? I tried multiple toggles but none seemed to work.. maybe they were just the wrong ones.
I noticed this when I went to aokp build 4. I found that setting the transparency setting to 50% matched the homescreen
Rom control -> General UI -> Transparency Settings
give that a go and see if it works

Thanks for this! Seems weird that 0 alpha means full transparency, and 255 alpha means no transparency at all. Normally in colours 255 is the lightest and 0 darkest. Anyhow, the problem is now solved :victory:

I had this problem too. Thank you for your tip! It helped me
I've noticed something strange happening on my Nexus 4:
When I set a wallpaper that's not live (any of the standard wallpapers that ship with the phone) and pull down my notification bar, the wallpaper under the pull down bar tends to shift from a detailed background to a more simple background (in regards to the amount of lines shown in the picture and edges), and then switches back. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this right, but if you can, set your background to a stock non-live wallpaper, pull down the notification bar, and see if your background image glitches out and changes quality. Most, if not all, of the wallpapers I've used have had this happen, and even if I pull down the notification bar in the app drawer the apps underneath the pull down menu glitch out and change their look/contrast/brightness... I don't know what it is.
Is this a known bug, or is my phone defective?

Are you sure you aren't just seeing the transparency effect of the notification pulldown or appdrawer background? Post a screenshot of a before/after if you can.
Hi,
My nexus 4 is on PA 4.0 beta3 and franco r203.
Is there anyone can explain me why is there black color at the bottom on my homescreen like in the picture attached?
Is it because the color profile? If it is, could you please give me the profile to remove the black color?
Thank you
If you mean the shadowy appearence(or white to black dimming or gradient or whatever) I think it is a kitkat feature and it is normal if it was pure white(in your case) you would not see navigation buttons in a white holo menu. But to be honest I would like to know if there is a mod or setting to adjust this because there is a bug with that gradient shadowy thing(if you try to press menu button and get into any app-for example settings- then try to return homescreen with back button-twice atleast-, you will notice nav and status bar is more transparent than normal if you push home button then it returns normal and it doesnt look good)
Strange phenomenon, I have my G6 since yesterday, I installed everything, set a wallpaper etc.
Then I thought my status bar got a problem, rebooted, switched launchers, nothing worked.
Then it came to my mind, maybe I should change to a bright background and voila, the status bar is visible.
The font simply is black, when I'm in certain apps, it switched to white.
Am I just too blind to see the option? :silly:
Change your theme around. Theme does control this colors.

Is there a way to get a black notification window without theming the icons and everything else?
Doesnt seem so. I had to just choose a theme and from there just change the icon pack etc
plugging my thread, it doesn't compromise with icons and everything, Ijust made light backgrounds to dark. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/theme-dark-default-t3597615
