Not sure if this is what it's called but Im needing to change the color of the bar that comes up below the top task bar after you press the little call out icon for when you have a voice message and reminder, etc. Anyone know what that second bar is called? I'm trying to use UI Tweaker to change the color and can't find the name of it.
Anyone please?
it is called "notification multi icon highlight" dont know if ui tweaker uses the same name though

Ok, thanks. I'll try to work with this. My problem is that I installed a theme which is perfect but when I have voicemail, reminders, etc. and click the notification icon...the bar that comes up has a white background with white text. So all I see is a white bar. Going to try to change this to a black background of course so I can see the notifications.
If I don't find it in the utility, does anyone have a link to a reference that points out the registry values to change for this?

Hi! why only with stock LG wallpaper I can see a full screen image in my home? with custom image, the topbar it's only quite transparent, not totally like stock.
how can I solve this?
Been having the same question. After some search, it seems that using the Xposed mod is one of the way to get a 100% transparent bar. Not sure if there are any other ways..

I'll let other, more informed G2 owners confirm this, but I believe that if you install wallpapers via an apk, the G2 sees those as "stock" and you can get a transparent notification bar. I am still exploring this.

Wallpaper as an apk..? Okay unless I'm going crazy from all the studying that is something new to me. I don't remember installing wallpaper.. However I did install apps that has a selection on wallpapers. After setting it thru the app, the status bar becomes translucent. Thanks for the info though. Will search around because I really liked the transparent status bar.

Let me re-phrase that:
I meant to say that you can find apps (apks) that install wallpapers - and when they do (I believe) the G2 will see them as "stock", not as "pictures" that are used as wallpaper. When those wallpapers are seen as stock, you get 100% transparency in the notification bar. This is what I think - still looking into it. Hope this is helpful!
Well it's pretty simples really ... the status bar icons are white and aqua, these would only be easily visible on a dark (non-white) background, which all the stock wallpapers are ... now if you use a custom wallpaper, I doubt the phone can detect what colour the wallpaper is, so to avoid numpties setting a white wallpaper and then wondering/complaining why their icons have disappeared, they have set it so that there is a semi transparent black bar for all custom wallpapers to ensure the icons can still be seen regardless of what colour the wallpaper is.
Simples.

Makes sense.
So is it the case that when you install wallpapers via an app/apk, the G2 sees those as "stock" and won't automatically apply the semi-transparent background? Just wondering...

I'm not sure about that, I don't tend to set wallpapers straight from an app, I always download them, I actually only really use the wallbase.cc app for all my wallpapers. (best wallpaper app).
But if was to take a guess, I would say that the phone assumes all the pre-installed stock wallpapers are compatible with a transparent status bar ... so if you get the phone to think your custom wallpapers are preinstalled stock wallpapers then it might work.
This could be just as simple as saving the wallpapers in the correct system folders along with the other stock wallpapers. Which might explain why if you set it from the app directly it works, as you're not actually downloading the wallpaper, so the app only saves it as a temporary file in the system folders, thus making the phone think it's a stock wallpaper.
Again, these are all assumptions, I haven't tested any of it so it could all be useless info ... but worth looking into .. I do like the transparent status bar.

I believe the phone came with a light blue sky wallpaper. That should have made the status bar translucent. But it didn't. Is it possible to put in wallpapers together with the system's default set? You just need to add pictures into the specific folder eh?
tried to achieve the same with GravityBox Xposed module and it works just as strange as observation in this thread. the status bar becomes transparent right after applying the settings no matter the wallpaper but it goes into the usual semi transparent mode right after you visit the app drawer for example.
I want to install a "dark" theme for my S8 Snapdragon that's in the S7 forum. Can I do this on S8 without root (using Package Disabler method)?
If this is possible, will there be any glitches I should be aware of ahead of time? If I can do this, I may never root... well, probably will just to get rid of Samsung-ware.

Use the themes in the theme store under settings. There are dark free ones.

Themes in the "Theme Store" can't change the Messaging app color / text box color, can it? I'm looking for something to give me as much white text on black background as possible in apps / System UI / dialer.
I don't mind paying for a theme in the Theme Store if this can be accomplished.

The "High Contrast Theme" from Samsung has a pure black background with white text in the stock messaging app (for free).

I won't have my S8 until tomorrow - any chance you could point me to screenshots of the Messaging and Settings apps? Or perhaps post them for me if it's not too much trouble
Really appreciate it.

Thanks for that. The white text input box at the bottom is what I was hoping I could make white on black. I've used a few themes around XDA that could do this - like this one I'm currently using on my S6:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/theme-samsung-galaxy-s8-t3582967
I bet there is a user made theme that blacks that out as well but I've only tried a few. I'll let you know if I come across one.
EDIT - Hmm it seems like all of the black themes on the Samsung app have the white text box, maybe they don't allow that to be changed on the stock app?
I have been playing around with Textra for messaging and it allows you to customize the look, see attached image. I think you could make those blue accents black as well.

I like that - I think I'll give that a try.
Yeah there are some elements the Samsung Theme Engine won't allow user created themes to change, at least from my understanding. The High Contrast theme and the use of Textra look like good options until we have root.
Thanks again!
Speaking of themes...Does anyone know if it is possible to get a plain black status bar (not transparent) with white text at the top of the screen all the time (without root)?

Definitely with Nova Launcher.
Does anyone know if there is a black version of the stock s8 theme available in the theme store? I can't find one but I find it hard to search

For me Material Black theme is almost same as a stock black theme. Change icons and you have stock black theme.
I downloaded Metal Black which is a decent theme.

Did you manage to have the bottom navigation bar, Black'?
Mine turned white after the last upadate when they introduced the dot on the bar. I cannot find a way to make it black again. Built in settings doesn't give black as an option!
sarbashrestha - On the theme I downloaded, if you go into the Nav Bar settings and click Apply Current Theme under it will make it dark. Mine is a sort of transparent black.

I'm using Renovate Ice 3.0 and there is an option to make navigation of any color you want.
In other roms I've tested, I'm having the same problem as you with the last update AQF7.
