For some non-fullscreen app, the nav bar will show on bottom with white background. Is there anyway to change to black background? Or even add more buttons?
Also I have an app that's incorrectly classified as "fullscreen optimized", and I cannot turn off fullscreen mode of it in system setting, any work around? The stupid thing is when the app run, a dialog pops up and state the app isn't fullscreen compatible...

Android was the pioneer of the notification bar. The idea, very similar to the taskbar in windows, offers far more flexibility and utility. One factor common with Windows, though, is that it disappears during games and certain other apps. Now, in terms of notifications, this feature is not that useful because you still have to navigate out of the game to see your notification. There are several utilities to bypass this though: for me, BirdBar coupled with Notifier Pro works perfectly and brings the seamlessness of a multitasking beast. BUT, the notification bar is NOT available by default.
This problem is further highlighted by the fact that now you can place all sorts of shortcuts on the notification bar, the prime purpose of that being that you are able to switch apps and tweak your phone on the fly. Again, all that disappears when the notification bar disappears.
With Android 4.0, an interface element was introduced that stays on screen ALL the time, even during full screen games. That's right, the nav bar.
So here's my idea: take the notification bar, bring it downward and attach it to the nav bar. During a game, the notification bar can disappear but a shortcut to it can live in the nav bar (on the far right perhaps). ALternatively, the notification bar can slide upward with a swipe action starting from the bottom of the screen.
The 'hybird bar' thus created can expand dynamically whenever a notification is received.
Any takers?
Like have menu on one side and notifications on the other... I like it.
sent from my googletron
what about having the muiltitask bar also in the notifications pulldown that way we can have a menu button again.
God I miss the menu button lol
Great idea my friend tell one of the devs if they can help you out with that.

There are several apps (widgetsoid one of them) that can place shortcuts in the notification bar. Also, the placing of menu button is possible even now through mods.
Getting in touch with devs was the prime idea behind starting this thread. If possible, I would like to pitch this to renowned devs and Google Android team itself. Question is: How.
Is there any way to hide the nav bar while in split screen mode? I have my nav bar auto hide all of the time but when using two apps side by side, it reappears and there is no longer an option to hide it.
Am I missing the logic behind this? Surely when using two apps on the one screen, that extra space is even more important?
After the Android Oreo update, the gesture options allow you to get rid of the navigation bar and use swipe gestures to perform functions such as "back" "background windows" and "home". However entering split screen mode from this stage is my concern.
It's actually pretty annoying because the hit box of the buttons changes and it's not aesthetic to see the buttons in the incorrect location.
I don't wanna use one button nav because there is some stutter while unlocking the phone and some bugs while changing the apps within the multitasking.
(Maybe can be fixed by permanently disabling the nav bar (?)
Well, i used custom navigation bar app paid version to modify the navigation icons and they don't move now.
Try the Nova launcher, you can use whichever type of Google bar you want, including a transparent one. I don't even use a bar, just the app icon
I recently switched to using the OnePlus gestures on my Pixel 2 XL to try out some new gestures, and I hid my nav bar using both the XDA Navigation Gestures app as well as Hide Nav Bar (recommended by the OnePlus gestures app). Using both methods, I've noticed that once the nav bar disappears, only half of toast notifications (or whatever they're called, the small notifications that appear on the bottom of the screen and disappear quickly) appear on screen, while half of it is offscreen. The same thing happens to the volume bar while in landscape mode, which basically makes it useless since I can't see anything.
Has anyone seen this before? And is there any other way of hiding the nav bar (so that it doesn't come up even with a swipe up) so that I can see everything like normal? It seems like these notifications/volume adjuster/other elements are dependent on having a certain border at the bottom.. Is there any way to emulate that? Thanks!
I can't seem to reproduce the problem for toasts (tested using Discord for the toast that appears when downloading an image), but I do have the volume bar in landscape mode problem. Is there a specific app you notice cut-off toasts in? Would be nice to know if there is a solution.
I'm at my wits end.
No idea what I've done. My status/notification bar automatically hides itself. Usually it's hidden on home screen only which is how I like it. Now, it hides everywhere and I have fullscreen gestures on so I swipe to go back, recents etc.
Android version 10
One UI version 2.1
Running Nova Launcher.
Nova settings: Look and Feel>Show notification bar On, Look and feel>transparent notification bar Off, transparent navigation bar On
Android settings:display>fullscreen apps>everything is set to auto, display>easy mode off,
Notifications>status bar>show notifications > 3 most recent. Each option behaves the same
Notifications>do not disturb Off
I think that's all the relevant settings.
How I'm used to it: status bar hides on home screen, open to app drawer or any app and it's displayed whilst in said app.
Cheers.
Just uninstalled Nova. Behaviour is still the same.
Have restored from backup now
