Hi all,
i recently applied the latest April OTA update on my Pixel 2 XL.
So far, the update appears to be fine and the only niggling problem I have with it that i've noticed is superficial.
Even after factory resetting twice, i can't seem to remove the transparent black borders from the top statusbar and navigational bar on the Google Now page.
Before the update these were immersive and 100% transparent.
Can anyone identify why this has happened and how to fix this?
Please see the attached images:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

Thanks in advance for any help.

Same here. They don't go way.

Hmm.... so it's not just me then. So maybe this is intended by Google maybe to protect against potential screen burn or something?
Looking at the Change log notes for the April release, it doesn't mention anything about the UI changes for the statusbar or navigational bars being modified.
I'm really surprised that no one else has mentioned this...
I find it really annoying, preferred the way it was before and I don't want to root an downgrade to previous release
I didn't even realize it until you mentioned it. It's only in the Google feed though right?

Well now they have light system theme and dark themes which is detected by your wallpaper. Hence why your pull down changes from light to dark. The light theme now feed doesn't have they dark box's I don't think

Using a light wallpaper has the same effect, borders are still visible.

I took some pictures today with my phone and noticed image corruption while using HDR mode. I'm using version 2.19 and have a ZE551ML 4GB 2.3GHz.
I don't know if the image corruption problem is a bug in the current system version, as I have not used it with any previous one.
You'll find a sample of a corrupted image below:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?

Really strange...never have this problem. Camera level of our phone is not very well, but not noising like that. You can try to clear cache of camera app
I've been testing the camera, and the problem seems to be random or maybe related to lollipop memory leak, as the it does not show sort after a reboot.

I had this problem previously. I don't know the cause. I could see the thumbnail in the camera app but in gallery the pasir was a plain green and brown page.
I had a pure black image as my home screen wall paper
I cleared the data and cache of the gallery app. Home screen wall paper changed to lock screen wall paper but the issue with the camera on HDR mode was gone.
I then used another wallpaper on the home screen.
I don't know if this can solve your problem.
Cheers!

that's so bad.try to delete cache of pixel master camera app.or try to uninstall pixel master camera updates.you will return to the first stock version.then update again from playstore.
try differents camera apps like google camera,camera 51. if with these apps you have this corruption again,for me you have an hardware problem

The release notes for 2.19.40.20 indicated they fixed the occasional green line thingy. Yup..I kept the pixel master app updated.

Hi I've rooted my Pixel 2 XL and I'm looking to activate full dark mode quite similar to the Oneplus phones. I intend to keep using Stock ROM. I've tried a couple Substratum Dark themes but they're quite unstable and keep crashing most of my apps.
Any suggestions?

im using rootless substratum on stock with swift dark theme and i do not have any have this problems.
swift dark theme always gets updated and had a ton of themed apps .:good:
Another Swift Dark theme fan!
If you want high quality, frequently updated themes, you may have to part with a few green backs. Which, in my not so humble opinion, is a good thing. The theme developers work many hours on their product, and I'm more than happy to support them :good:

Does anyone have any info about theming Android P? It will be monotonous to have white/dark ui based on wallpaper that we use. Maybe new theming method will be introduced with P, new theming engine...

Because you have dark wallpaper?
Not sure what the heck is going on by my pull down notification is ALWAYS dark no matter what I do. I even tired forcing the Device Theme to Light vs auto depending on wallpaper and the darn thing is always dark.
Any ideas??

Wow, what in the world is Google thinking? Why does changing messager to dark mode impacts the notification color? That's crazy. Is this a known bug?
Thank you buy the way, it was driving me nuts as to why it is happening.

Hahahahahaha....beats me bruh, better ask google that one. But yes, it's a known issue. Guess they figured that if you have dark mode enabled, might as well have dark notifications to go with it! Your welcome my friend

Nice! Can you share how you got the navigation buttons? I used good lock, but didnt find those icons. It says you can add your own icons as images, but I cant find those images to use.
Any help would be great! Thanks!

Hey!! I used the Samsung theme DePixelizeD (Black theme), there is also Pixelize (White) and Pixelized (Dark).
I also used the "Lawnchair 2" launcher (Telegram only no play store) as well as "Pixel Icons" pack by Pixelflow.

Ok sweet! Does that allow using the navigation buttons separately, or you have to use the theme as a whole? (Sorry, this is my first samsung phone since the galaxy nexus, so I havent dealt with themes yet.)

It only allows using the theme as a whole, unfortunately it does not allow for Nav only. No worries! This is my first Samsung since the S6 Edge lol. I just came from 2 Pixel generations so I know what you mean).
Also I updated my previous comment with more info on Launcher, icons, etc.
Running stock HTC Android 8.0. It's a circle with four little lines off the sides. Top, bottom, and left / right. (kinda looks like a rifle scope reticle) It also has a diagonal line through it. Any ideas?
I tried uploading a screenshot, but kept getting a network error message.

Probably pretty tough without ss.
Use chrome and go to xda and upload the ss.
I use chrome strickly for xda, never had issue uploading

Sounds like the location reticle.
Some devices don't show it, some do.
Depends on your device model/network carrier, whether system UI shows it or not.
Here's an older example in the status bar:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
