You cannot Screenshot the notch. There is hardware in the notch and no screen.
Notch is blacked out using Nacho Notch, allowing me to keep the notification text up there, but with a black background matching the notch and white text/images.
I don't mind the notch at all. It's the blocking of the status bar icons I can't tolerate.

Having come from the Essential phone I'm quite aware of that. I guess I should have worded it differently and asked if people are using wallpapers that are light or dark at the top.
Here is an in-app picture, showing it a little better. The black goes down just enough to cover the notch and still show notifications.
Simple. And I don't really even notice the notch already.

It's not a widget, but kustom live wallpaper with one of their free live wallpaper. Been using it for years and love it.
Yes, I like a lot of folders on my desktop. The background is an image I took with the phone.
These days I like to keep things nice and simple.
Nova Launcher Prime
Pixelful icons
Here's mine!

I'm less concerned about the notch and more concerned about the nav bar. This way I get as much real estate as possible

Been using it for a couple of years now
Looks good, has good system info, and has the very useful hotspots to trigger apps.
Combine it with Nova and you've got so many gestures and shortcuts available to set up and get you to anything on your phone.
I'm hiding mine with Nacho notch, hopefully google will implement a baked in solution like Essential. Using Nova launcher and as many dark themed apps as possible on stock.

I liked the new blue blotchy background wallpaper from iOS4 on my iPod Touch (also on iPhone iOS 4) so decided to recreate it from scratch in an aspect ratio suitable for my Galaxy S. Also added a background bar at the bottom which matches the bar at the bottom of the touch wiz Apps pages.
Thought I would share it.
Update: Added version with no bar at the bottom
Thanks, I do like it

I keep getting invalid image file when I use the app and when I go on the internet on my phone to try to post something. I don't know what's up with that.
Here you go. I love this phone. The edge shortcuts allow me to flow back and forth quicker without using multi windows or hitting the home key. The camera is top of the line and the finger print sensor is sweet.
Here's mine:

Xposed framework and unicon.

Dynamic Notification to make my lock screen like the Moto X
G3 Wallpaper with Nova Launcher to organize the screen the way I like it.
The edge panel is really nice in that I can keep the main screen so much cleaner than I used to on my G3 like in the 4th pic.

Hes running forever locos theme.. your talking about all the toggles and all that. Yes, thats the theme.. mixed with some xposed, blurred systemui for the pulldown blur, and i believe its wanam or gravity box allows the removal of those icons you speak of, but in this case i believe the systemui was modded in the theme to get rid of that. Otherwise check out wanam or gravity

Still trying to make the most out of the edge panel. Love having a clutter free home screen tho!
Nice job everyone! My home screen is still a work in progress but I thought I'd mention one thing I like to do. With "ss launcher" you can extend your home screen vertically. I like it that way cause you can just flick the screen up to get to stuff below. (also applications page scrolls vertical once there). Anyways. here is an example of how the home page is extended vertically. So you see, below the usual home screen, I put an icon, a calendar widget and another widget called "recent apps" which I set to be a 3x3 grid so I can can easily go back and forth between apps one handed.
still mostly stock
Hot Note Edge.
In light of the fact there's no real root I figured I must DO something to this phone! I MUST make it different than Samsung intended. I was going thru withdrawal. Really. I got to messing around with different Samsung themes (black is Always Right and all of that developers dark themes are pretty dope..btw); but I found in the process many of the s8 unrooted mods usually work. Do some research but I've personally used better nav colors, remove lock text, remove lock carrier name, more precise animation scale, transparent qs, different nav buttons etc. And they are mostly apks, so no struggle. At all. Overlay apks also work too.
Not taking credit for any of this and props to the developer/s. I'm just sharing. Here's a link to one of the best list I've found.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/mods-small-collection-tweaks-t3657119
Even though it's a substratum thread the mods work without it. I tried substratum but it didn't play nice with my phone. Look for s8 threads in theme section by tigerhood and also clck. Most of their apks work on our phone.
Anyway maybe this is common knowledge but i couldn't find it anywhere else on the board so don't roast me if its nothing special. Lol
Thanks for this link, I have been looking and waiting for a long time for a way to hide the clock and battery icon in the status bar and this mod worked perfectly.

Lots of options for nav bar.
Here is a list of nav bar layers plus many more.

With substratum you have lots of choices too.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/substratum-inversion-ui-overlay-overlays-t3604341
Most of these work. Check the links at the bottom too. I can't remember where I got my nav shown in the picture but I've had no issues with any. Only ones seems not to work are those that try to adjust the nav bar height. It doesn't break anything you just don't see any change in the size.
Other than that you have to reinstall all your overlays again if you change your theme.
Nav bar shown apk below. Works 100%
Again, I take no credit for these and props to the developer/s.
The closest I can get to all black UI is by using Mini Black Edition V2 from the Samsung theme store and Swift Black overlays. I still have white pull down notifications and white nav bar when the keyboard is shown.
Is there a way to black out the pull down notifications and nav bar while the keyboard is shown ?
There's an apk around on one of the links I posted or somewhere else, I can't remember, with an overlay that gives you a black notification panel. It looks really nice, but you can't see the text on notifications very well.
For the black nav bar use the following by Draco.
Edit: first post on this link is the best list I've found. I've tried many of them and they work just fine. Props to the developers and the member who pulled them all together in one place.

Looks good don't it? All courtesy of the links posted. Honestly with these mods, there's really no need for root. So until we get full root this is the set up.

Use any of the ones that are system ui black notification. It should say that or something like that when you install. Then install the custom grey/ black notification. Or use any of the grey notification only ones and then the custom grey/ black

Has anyone else got this on the 5t?
It happens on some non-stock apps and makes them look crap!
That's the way it was designed. You could always use a 3rd party app (Navbar Apps, for example) to make the navbar match the notification bar, but I think the off white bar they chose is a good one. Samsung and LG do the same thing.
I, for one, have never been a fan of the black navbar. It just makes it look like there is a lot of wasted space.

Hi.
So I just bought my OP5T, and I can't believe how frustrating that is. The nav bar stays white on apps with a dark theme(Reddit is Fun for example) and there is no easy way to change it. I've tried the app recommended above(Navbar Apps) but it seems to be overriden by the system - if I select solid black for the navbar it switches to black for half a second and then goes back to white. Any other way to fix it, anyone?

Have you tried the dark theme on the 5T? Not sure if that makes a difference.
Yep, even with the dark theme the nav bar stays white, which makes me think this is actually unintended. Surely with the dark theme the bar should become black, but it's still white.
I know there is a setting in Navbar Apps where you can choose your own custom color and override the system. Have you given that a shot?
Yep - I've tried both override using the status bar colour and specific colour per app - neither one works. Well, it switches to black for very short time and then goes back to white. I'll try to make a video to submit to the author of the app.
So this is what happens with the Navbar Apps application - I just sent an email to the developer, hopefully he knows how to fix it!

It started bothering me the very first night I got the phone - I was in my bed, in darkness, had a dark-themed app opened....and the nav bar was blinding white in the darkness. Auto-hide on the bar helps, but then it's annoying to swipe up every time you want to use it.

Yeah, I mean it feels like a bug that the nav bar is not dark when using a dark theme.
I would suggest using the OnePlus official forums and their feedback system to make some suggestions to them.
Just use the "Hide navigation bar" in the Settings->Buttons menu. It does the trick for me at least, and I like it better

Its not a bar exactly, its like white hue on top on the display. I contacted google and they said it's the pixel launcher that causing it. If i use nova launcher, the display is pitch black.
Yeah I use Nova Launcher Prime. I'd use the Pixel Launcher if it had some for customizations for icons and gestures.

Lets not forget the ability to properly set columns and rows, removing the search bar, dock pages, etc. I honestly have no idea what people think makes the Pixel launcher so great, it's lame at best.

Pretty sure it is not an "issue," but instead part of Google's design. Theming with Substratum removes it too.
the magisk pixel launcher is the best, lets you modify columns, rows, dots vs numbers, etc.
