Turn off launcher's gradual shading. - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I use the "Galactic Core Free" active wallpaper on my Pixel 2 XL:. The launcher is gradually shaded from mid to bottom of the display. It is cool how when you slide the app drawer up it continues making the shading darker. However, I would prefer to have the full screen visibility of the wallpaper. Does anyone know if that shading can be turned off.
Also, even though the wallpaper is very dark, the menus are not switching from light to dark.
Thanks for any insight.

Two phones using PP2/ "P" beta, same build - different Notification color.

Two Pixel XL both on the latest DP2
Both using Nova launcher.
one phone has notification in black, one in white-what gives.
same color applies to volume rocker panel pop-up & shutdown/restart menu.
Did i miss it somewhere in the settings? or this is a glitch?
how can i change it to been black on the white unit.
here is screenshot.
It changes according to your wallpaper. Lighter wallpaper results white and darker wallpaper black notification panel.
But this is still from Oreo i think the colors and wallpapers.

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.

Lockscreen Text

Ok so on my Galaxy Note 10+ my lock screen text is white and I'm using the default samsung background which is bright blue and white. This makes it hard to read my text. I have tried detailed view, and brief view, turned the auto reverse text and so far the text has stayed white.
Any clue where I am screwing up?
Figured this out. For anyone else if you have Samsungs Quick Star in the Good Lock app don't use the transparent theme as it turns the lock screen text white as well.

Notification line

Hi everyone.
I managed somehow to see very, very transparent masking region on notification line. Straight rectangle just under the camera cutout. It is visible everywhere in UI but it is hardly noticeable. Even in full screen YouTube videos.
Can someone confirm is this some kind of UI masking region? I hope it is not screen burn-in problem.?
I managed to take a picture of screen in dark room with dark green wallpaper in full screen mode and brightness all the way to maximum, and it is clearly visible.
(Photo is edited so notification region can be seen.)

Thanks for answer in advance.
Yes, it is like a mask were the status bar is, it looks bad, when in the apps, it looks darker
I really don't know what I did, but fiddling with ui tuner, nova settings and I cant recall what else, the dark mask in the upper part is gone!

Question Pixel themes and notification panel effects

I am wondering how to get more colour theme options when I set a new wallpaper, usually it gives me the same 4 or it may be a mix of a few depending on my wallpapers but I cannot seem to attain a white or grey theme as shown on the pixel 6 advertisement with white widgets and white app icons on grey backgrounds. Is there a way to get more options?
Also, sometimes when I slide down my notification panel it is completely white, and sometimes it is a blurred version of my background, why isn't this consistent?
It's limited to the small number of muted colour selections with no way to add more afaict.
The blurred pull down background is a bug triggered by adjusting the brightness slider.
