Does anybody know if there is any way to decrease the height of the navigation bar for the S9? (or even to color it black instead of it's usual auto color scheme)
S8 users used an apk for overlay in the past, but Oreo does not support overlays so that possibility seems to be gone...

The navigation bar is adjustable with dpi setting in developer settings.

Has anyone developed a customizable Nav Bar for Touchwiz roms? I know that the Nav Bar can be added by adding a line to build.prop but the resulting Nav Bar can't be altered, especially the height.
Is there a mod that allows the height of the Nav Bar to be adjusted on a TW rom or better still, full customization like is available in AOSP roms?
Finally got the on screen nav bar but, in dialer for example, the nav bar blocks the call and end button. Tried messing with nav bar size and did nothing. ..ideas?
Hiya.
I wanted to ask whether there is an option in the Settings or an update of Nexus 7 that makes the notifications bar on top and the three buttons on the bottom of the screen transparent? Or the ability to "autohide" the buttons underneath similar to the G2 and the Xperia phones?
What good launcher can you guys recommend for the Nexus 7 so as when in landscape i can make full "use" of the 7-inch screen? (especially when watching movies of playing games?
Please advice. Thank you.
Auto hide of the Navigation bar and status bar is not a new thing in android, any decent player like BSPlayer has an auto hide option for this bars , also as far as gaming there is immersion mode in Kitkat that apps and games can use if the developers enables so .. and transparent nav bar and status bar are part of the Now launcher, and i think Nova and Apex should support it also.

I did not know the autohide feature for Android has been around for a while. I was only aware of the current 4.4.2 OS of my Xperia Z1 (and i believe the LG G2 as well) that enables autohide of the nav bars on the bottom and notifications on top but not that of the Nexus 7. All the videos i have seen on Youtube all shows the black bars still there.
As regards the launchers you mentioned will it be a matter of swiping it from above and at the bottom to access the buttons is that correct?
Some apps have built in immersive mode and then they can hide navigation bar with/without status bar. Or you can turn on immersive mode manually whenever you want with this app (no root required):

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.
Does anyone knows how to change the background color of the navigationbar to white instead of black? Just like the navigationbar of the samsung Galaxy S8.
Thanks in advance!
Use theme or try it in setting - nav bar
