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
That is the one thing I would like. I currently have NOVA launcher. I like it because you can theme the icons and such but now I have the black status bar and black navi bar as well. In the stock launcher there is an option to make them both transparent. What am I missing?

I'm wondering the same thing. I've gone back to LG's launcher for this reason. Hopefully the ROM gods will add this as an option to add on.
I was going to come post the same thing. I just applied auto-hide soft keys and was wondering if this was an option. Using Nova and I pinch to bring the status bar and knock on to sleep on the status bar as well.
Love this phone by the way - obligatory
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)
Anyone figure out how to make the navbar black when the keyboard is activated? Setting the color to Black in the display settings does not help.

Yes I used the Navbar Apps. Set to static black and added an exception to the launcher so it's still transparent on there. Looks so much better.
Hi, before the update to G95xFXXU1AQF7 the color changed automatically, depending on background color of the current app.
Not it's static and ugly.
What's wrong?
Yes now its very ugly this white coloured nav bar with dark themed apps like today weather.
That update wasn't good. They have killed features and if you choose for not using hidden navigation bar option, your fullscreen experience content will be worst than ever.
Yes, looks like if is it a really stupid optical bug
There are some few apps, where auto-adjustment of color still works.
So it is possible to let apps control it? If the developers build it in the code of their apps?
