[SOLVED] How to shrink statusbar header and volume HUD? - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

There is so much wasted space in these sections of the UI making them look so awfully Ugly. Is there a way to shrink them back to the way they were in nougat?. I'm on OB 10 if that changes anything

There are several substratum themes which do the the fixing of notification header and setting header.
Ozone, Linear,...
I prefer Linear for now.

Scroll down, find system UI overlay, in that select fix QS padding, build and install overlay, reboot, enable overlay.
I suggest you to enable other overlays too including Android system, settings,...
Again linear theme's padding is better with newer version of Oxygen OS.

I bought linear, applied it. Yet nothing seems to have changed. Is it to do with the theme or something. I'm using star wars theme

You have to select dark theme in setting, but even otherwise it has to change. You are doing something wrong in applying process. Be detailed in explaining what you are doing.
Below is the result after applying Linear.

DPI

Any way to change the dpi on tw roms these days? Love tw but what a waste of a large screen!

Search xposed installer/apk.

Or you could use a custom launcher and set more rows and columns. I use Nova now and have a 8 rows x 6 columns screen.

That is not my concern. I would like to see more of webpages, and generally everything... it's like 480p vs 1080p in the TV world. DPI changes the 'density' of the screen across the whole OS.

And prevents you from installing most apps once changed from default.

Balls.
Normally true but when not on tw roms I've used the following app consistently with no issues. It provides an in-app process that mods the play store apk. Besides, you can always change dpi to stock and get whatever apps you want and revert your dpi. But hey, let's keep giving people half the story.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction I appreciate it. I found this to be a better solution that I counted on.
In case anyone is interested in getting more out of their S3's TW display check out this post and download the zip with 2 apks and install them. Learn more about how this mod works here. The neat thing about this is approach is that it works similarly to how PA roms work. Basically, each app can be individually set with whatever DPI you want on the fly with no need to reboot in order to see changes. I tweaked DPI settings for Nova launcher, Gmail, Web browsers to start and it works on 747z rom for me ATM. I even set the SytemUI.apk to 280. This has a bug that that causes a thin bar under the notification bar to appear; it doesn't bother me though as the tradeoff for more notifications in the pull down is a plus for me. What's nice is you can tailor each apps display however you wish instead of picking one value for the whole OS!
To top it all off, you can leave Play store alone and download apps till tomorrow morning

[Q] How to convert dual panel UI into single panel UI on an android app ??

I have an app (market app) that has a dual panel UI which isn't good on my xperia arc with 4.2 inches display.
Does anybody know what should be modified to convert it to a single panel UI.
Any help would be appreciated

Assuming it's a typical dual-pane approach (pane 1 is a list of items, pane 2 provides details on the selected item), if it isn't already the design should be changed to be fragment-based (a fragment for each pane). Then at least two different layouts created: one for phones that displays/navigates from the list to the detail view, and one for tablets where both fragments are shown at the same time (how it sounds like it behaves currently)

the app is Tapatalk HD, and because it has a holo ui, i wanted to get it, so I got it, but the layout of course is messed up because the app was meant for a 7 inch tablet. All i want is to remove or hide the 1st panel so it becomes clear

I can't seem to grasp how to change the color for every app. All I want to do is have a set color scheme and have it stay the same no matter what i'm doing on the rom and no matter what app i'm in. I adjust the global color and nothing happens.
Nice thread
Here's mine
Am I the only one having a very hard time to adjust to pie?

No, I've found it more of a gimmick than useful.
With some of the newest Roms its so fast and stable . I came from hardware buttons on an HTC and now I love it that whenever someone has grabbed my phone they cant operate the back button or navigate through the phone . kind of a security feature . also you get such a big screen all throughout the ROM it beautiful.try xylon . but if you have led setup for all the things you have notifications coming in and having the left chevron take you to your quick settings and the left chevron to notifications .I think its revolutionary how far it had come and stable it is .

you're on the right way. make sure you enabled "enable per app color" in the section global color, sounds weired but only this will give you the same color scheme for every app but some apps e.g. "google play music".some are not themable, unfortunatly
Don't forget to hit apply on top right after you changed colors!
Delete every color you set up manually in per app section, otherwise apps will not pick up global settings
regards
edit: I made a color setup for every app PA Rom and its Gapps providing. I will share it today or tomorrow. It will be easy to use since you just need to change one file. stay tuned

Pulldown menu icons gone

I don't know what happened. I know the icons were all there just couple hours ago, now they just disappeared. (see attached photo)
The latest factory image was flashed fresh last night.
I've never run into to this issue before.
Any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks
Looks like you are running a theme?
Try disabling all the overlays and reboot
Use the new which support oreo and quick settings tiles cannot be colored in oreo for eg battery tile etc

Use swift black instead and it has black white text fix included
I haven't experienced any problems regarding this theme make sure to reboot after applying
Also black looks more sexy than dark just saying ?
Cheers ?

Not sure you can. I believe it's native to the theme. Does the same on mine.

Surely there would be a setting to enable color change.
Also would nova launcher clash with substratum theming
Aah okay
Now i understand
When you select notification app name option overlay in android system to be app specific that's what make it green for whatsapp because whatsapp has that color as default

So is there a way of changing the color of notification from green to another color? Possibly blue for instance.
If so can you write the steps on how i can do this thanks

That's not possible AFAIK
You need to use a different theme which themes the whatsapp app notification
Can't really know about any theme but you can try themes and if it doesn't work get a refund
