How do you make a request/suggestion?

So I'd like to submit a feature request for a mod of sorts, not really sure how to describe it...
Kinda like in windows you can make the task bar auto hide when not in focus, is it possible to make the navigation buttons auto-hide, fade to opaque, or have a bold outline with opaque background... to make better use of the screen when in things like browser/reading...

This feature is already implemented in AOKP, GummyNex and Axi0m (hold down power button, toggle nav bar on/off).

This is very close to what I want, but I wanna get something a bit more
is it possible to make the black background of the nav soft key transpartent or opaque so that I can read what is behind the buttons?
Or make it auto hide unless I touch near the bottom... is something like this doable?
for what its worth, Im using gummynex now and its very nice but the nav bar transparency makes the drawing of the icon go away, not make the nav bar background clear/transparent

Transparency status bar and navigation

How come HTC didn't make the status bar and navigation bar transparent like everyone else are doing after Kitkat? Am I missing something? Is there an option to turn it off?

It's transparent on the home screen and lock screen, and then changes color based on the app that you're in. It's just a design choice on HTC's part. Custom roms and/or sense 6 toolbox (when it comes out) will probably let you force transparency all the time. However, transparent status bar and white icons with no shadow or outline can make for a bad day if you pick the wrong wallpaper.

Yea when I had my nexus 5 I was basically the same way it varied between apps mainly for that reason that visibility of the of the icons would be horrible.

Oh I see, I am just asking because I am using the Google Launcher and it doesn't have transparent status/navigation like the Nexus 5 does.

Transparent or semitransparent navbar?

How I can get a transparent or semitransparent navbar? Would prefer semitransparent.

Only way I can imagine that working is making it yourself.

would the be so that you could look at the bottom of your background through the navbar?
I ask because that would be the result. an app window wouldn't appear under it, unless in immersive mode... which in full immersive mode - the navbar is transparent...
your typical app is constrained to the screen space between the statusbar and navbar.. they are in non-immersive mode... to better understand what I mean, look at the diagram here;
https://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/immersive.html
also, when u do see apps where the statusbar or navbar look more integrated with the app, that's probably hinting to colourize them to match the app...
anyhoo, I just thought I'd throw my 2 cents in, because I don't think a transparent navbar is going to do what u want it to (?).

I recommend nav bar apps, at least with it the nav bar can dynamically change colors based on the foreground app. This is the app to go-to if you're worried about screen burn.

White Nav Bar in apps where dark theme chosen?

Am I missing something here? I have various apps installed, such as Fenix, where I am using a darker theme yet the LG Nav bar is still showing as a light colour. I know that in the settings you can change the colour of the Nav Bar but there is no option there to have a dark nav bar to better fit with the apps. Looks silly.
Can't say i am that impressed with this phone as yet although it is early days, some very slow re-loading of apps sometimes, especially InBox email app even though I have asked that awful LG Smart Doctor app to not kill it...grrr...
Any tips/assistance gratefully received

Use nacho notch. It now has the option to keep the navbar dark.

Or get Navbar Apps, which allows you to set automatic or custom colours for any application

I found nacho notch to work more constantly vs navbar apps.

How to change default navbar color to black?

In the settings, by default, there are only light colors for the navbar, which don't fit quite well dark apps like Spotify and Reddit.
Is there a way to set it black?
I already tried:
- LG themes and high contrast mode: they work, but also change the whole UI look.
- Nacho Notch, Navbar Apps and other applications on PlayStore: they don't change only the default color, but the color used everywhere (e.g.: Nacho Notch sets the navbar to be always black, even when it should be transparent, like in the launcher).
- Alpha Substratum theme: it doesn't affect default navbar color (or, at least, I wasn't able to let it do it).
Does anyone know how to do it?
Thanks.

I don't see it either. Apart from another launcher, I think your only option is going to be a dark theme.

Use nacho notch or navbar apps.

Or double tap the left hand dot to hide the Nav Bar in those apps you don't like the look??

I just use System UI Tuner. A few ADB commands for permission for the app to run and all is good. Find it in the Play Store. Instructions are supper easy to follow and you can hide either the nav bar status bar or go full immersive and hide both even on the home screen like I do.

Alpha most certainly has this option. That was one of the first things I did when I added G7 support! You do have to go and manually select black but the option is definitely there

Thanks!

I finally found out how to do it! I needed to "force" the black navigation bar selection in the settings after having built "System UI".

I also quickly followed a fellow XDA members advice on how to enable High Contrast to phone in the settings and makes the phone dark as can be. It solved my Setting Theme to all black and Navigation bar to black as well. Just had to change the wallpaper back but works well.
