Dark shadow at top/bottom when setting wallpaper :S - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys,
I have noticed a weird thing with my phone. I tried searching around for the answer but I couldn't find anything.
Whenever I set a light picture as my background, it shows a faded black shadow at the top and bottom. I know its not an issue with my screen because when I view it in gallery, it shows fine. Just when I set it as the wallpaper, it shows a black shadow at the top and bottom. I've tried using different wallpaper apps, but they all result in the same thing.
Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

It's your launcher go into launcher settings then desktop then see if you can find a toggle there
A thumbs up would be greatly appreciated if I helped you in any way

themeing gurus: random background?

I have a few backgrounds that I'd like to rotate with the same homescreen. Is there a way (scripting maybe?) to rotate the background? Even if it's once per day or something. tried looking for something that'd do this or a way to do it and so far have come up empty.
I found a program called ThemeChanger that will rotate a background, except I've noticed is that although the default background (as configured in the theme xml file) works flawlessly, if I go through Start>Settings>Background and select another background image that I created (using the same exact detentions) the backgound is positioned directly above the bottom mru plugin. Also, the background to the mru is white, which looks horrible. I've tried setting the bgcolor to black, but that didn't seem to work. Here's an example:
Homepage using "Default" in Start>Settings>Background, displaying the images configured in the xml file:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Homepage using alternate background image as set in Start>Settings>Background. Notice how the highlighted areas no longer match up with the information.. the image is positioned from the bottom, above the mru.
Yes, I have a thing for guys in ties.
Thanks!
bump. anyone?
WM6/Rogers fixed the issue. Yay.

Any idea why there is that blue bleed on the right, next to Sent?
It's only hit me today, but I kept thinking there was something wrong with my screen so I installed screenshot to double check.
What's everyone else using for Pop3 mail?
Maybe Im wrong, but isnt that horizontal menu scrollable (right to left and vice versa)? So the blue bleed means there are more option, which are currently hidden.

Absolutely, it is scrollable.
It's the way that it appears to "bleed". If you pull it across, it doesn't look much better.
Considering the screen and how well it can deal with perfect graphics, this app just looks cheap and nasty.
That's the way it tells you that you need to pull it left for more tabs to appear.

Strange new icon backgrounds?

After updating to Android 7.0 Nougat on my G5 (LG LS992) all my app icons changed. See attached picture for examples. The LG apps that come installed by default got simple, unique, all white backgrounds(the phone, contacts, and messenger icons at the bottom). User installed apps get one of seven new, all white backgrounds. I place one of each background type on example picture. Some of the backgrounds seem to be in the shape of a letter. There is no discernable pattern to what apps get what backgrounds and I can't find any information about these changes anywhere, no one else seems to be talking about it. Is anyone else seeing this?

I had that same problem and it was driving me nuts because it actually showed those icon labels behind the custom icon pack I was using. I was able to change it by changing the group of icons I wanted to use. I think I did it in Nova Launcher's settings. So if you're using a 3rd party home screen, check to see if you can change it there to Marshmallow's icons, or the system default or something.

HELP! Grayscale discoloration on the status bar on black background????

Hi! I noticed lately that everytime I pressed recents on my A5, there's this layers of gray on the status bar? It doesn't only appear on the recents but on the home screen as well. And it only appears on the home and recent screen... Is this a burn in? Help please.
Here are the links of the screenshot:
You can't see it clearly but try to tilt your screen

Yes, by what you described, that is most likely and amoled burn-in. I also have one...
That's normal. For whatever reason, the software is made that way. You can download a screen test anytime, or open a black picture and see that it's fine. Also, some launchers hide it, but I don't remember which ones.
