Are there any mods out there for the PIxel 2 XL so I can set the clock in the center instead of the right?

Yes but either the clock or system icons will show up on lockscreen and aod.
I don't think we're supposed to have links, but there is a thread in the Theme section titled "Various Mods for 8.1 December Update" that has the modifications you're looking for. You have to be rooted and have TWRP installed though.

Incorrect. My clock is centered with Substratum mod. I'm bl locked and obviously not rooted. I'm using Sprite theme but there are others. You will need to visit the Substratum thread or subscribe in G+ to see the mods available.

Use tinted status bar, just set 66000 for default tint to get gradient transparency, or 000000(i think, not fully sure about that code) to get full transparency. You can also try installing different systemui(z2 systemui for example.)
Was missing the center clock and came across this app. Has a good number of mods that tend to come with custom ROMs. Worth a try for those who can't root. It's called "Status" in the play store.

Good call... Can't figure out how to edit the title, only the body ... Maybe a mod can do it.

Hit edit, then advanced
That app won't work on Android O, btw.
Hi guys,
I'm relatively new to Android and had a few questions regarding customization.
I'm mostly happy with the Pixel Launcher, but I absolutely hate the white haze at the bottom search pill, it ruins my wallpapers.
I would also like the background of the app drawer (when you swipe up from the bottom to see all the apps) to be dark and translucent, so you can see the wallpaper still.
Can i do this anyway? I don't mind using another launcher if I can get it looking just like the Pixel one with those tweaks.
If it matters, I can't root as I have a Verizon Panda.

If you're rooted, I got you covered - https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/themes/mod-pixel-2-xl-launcher-mods-8-1-0-dp1-t3701939

Yup, too bad that launcher mod doesn't install. Funny how it's called "rootless" when you need to be rooted to replace your stock Pixel launcher in the system app folder.

Lol it's actually intended for other phones other than the pixel, it'll install on other phones without being rooted. But the pixel has to be rooted in order to use this launcher

Exactly, which makes it irrelevant to this thread since OP is looking for an option that doesn't involve root.

Fair enough, no harm no foul. I hope Google adds some of those features into the legit Pixel Launcher.

Odd. I'm stock and don't have it.
Do you have a special theme on? I notice your navigation buttons are Oreo style instead of Pie.

No special theme
On the Flash kernel.
Magisk with vanced YouTube and viper.
Its not there directly after boot, and skinnier when no other notifications are present. I think it's tasker or something similar that I tried to suppress.
Solved: it was my network speed app
Glad you figured it out

I'm on Pie. My navigation bar looks the same. No special theme.
I forgot that the regular buttons still has the filled triangle instead of the open one with the gesture controls.

Do you have a custom launcher enabled? I know trying to set those options disappear for some reason on a custom launcher, so try using the default launcher if so.

I get the dark themed icons but not the wallpaper colors where the entire UI changes the color to match your wallpaper

Yeah, nova doesn't display themed icons or grid size, I'm assuming because you can do both of those within the app itself.

I've only ever used nova. It has a plethora of options and even allows you to use a notification count as an icon badge the way apple does instead of just a dot.
My only critique is, when using gestures to go back to the home screen, the icons don't bounce the way the default launcher does.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I was using Lawnchair in the past, because of the stock animation support they had for a while. Was using Nova for a long time before that.

I was referring to in the past about that. Currently on Android 12 it doesn't, unfortunately.
