white wash using black wallpapers - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

First I would like to apologise because I'm sure this been answered long ago. It's been awhile I been on xda and I'm looking for some help. Is there a way to fix the white wash that shows near the notification bar while applying dark wallpapers? Or is there a mod pixel launcher our here somewhere? I know it's tied to the launcher....HELP ME PLEASE

i'm not familiar with this white wash you speak of? screen burn?

You can't remove it. It's a feature to prevent burn in from the notification icons. There's a thread about somewhere here. It's an "always on" feature. I know it bugs me when I use an all black wallpaper.

All the black themes difficult to use in sunlight

Hi.
As mentioned in the title I have difficulties in using all the beautiful looking black themes in bright sunlight. Therefore I have been looking for some good looking themes with black text on a white (or bright) background, that is easy to use during daytime.
But searching the forum did not find any - therefore I would like to ask you if you know such a theme?
Thanks

You can use any PC theme maker application, create a white background based theme & customise it to your extent(the way you like).
You may face a problem of the taskbar & navigation's colour not changing - for this you can use 'UITweaker'.

Widget Locker Theme with Text in Background

Hi all,
I'm trying to make some widget locker themes that have text in the background image. I was able to make a few with just the standard rounded corner rectangle outline that a lot of themes use and I was also able to get it to work with a black and red version of my text background. But for whatever reason, when I change the background up to be black and white, my text gets all jumbled. It gets stretched in the middle between two letters rather than the whole background stretching.
I have to be doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. I've follow both of the tutorials and understand have about five or six different themes that work, but for whatever reason this one with text is kicking my butt. Anybody else ever run into this?
Thanks,
Dave

Well,
I've made some progress with this. I messed around with the background image and found that the single black pixel placed at the top of the image is where widget locker stretches the image to fit the screen. My temporary solution was to off set the pixel to the left side of my text. The only side effect is that now my text isn't centered as I wanted it. Instead is now on the right side of my screen. It looks ok with the lock screen I am running, but I don't understand why it works with one background (being center) and not the other.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

[Q] Change Lock Screen App Icons & Dark Notifications?

Does anyone know if it’s possible to change the Sense Lock screen notifications to a darker material colour? I haven’t been able to find anything and don't really love the light grey.
Also, is there any way to change the Sense lockscreen app icons? I know how to change the apps and their order but I’m looking to change the icons for these apps shown on the lockscreen. Once again I haven’t been able to find anything.
I have looked around for xposed modules to do these two things but haven’t had any luck.
I also realize I could change the lock screen to a 3rd party one but they don’t seem to place nicely with the alarm when it goes off (doesn’t show screen with dismiss or snooze) or they only seem to launch a half ass version of the camera when swiping into it from there.
Any opinions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Finally found a solution to my question about changing lockscreen icons. Unicon Beta will do the trick if anyone else is interested.

Black/Dark Colours Horizontal Lines found on Display

So I recently noticed that black horizontal bars have been appearing when a dark image is displayed. I have a dark theme applied onto TW and when the keyboard is opened onto a white-ish background I see them. This also occurs when I'm viewing certain dark images. And also even the Yahoo shortcut icon in Samsung Internet app shows a feint purple bar beneath it. Is this most likely a defect in hardware? I bought this from Samsung Canada and I don't know how they deal with these kinds of things will they replace it.....

Just get it checked with your Samsung asap. I don't know for sure whether it is defected or software problem or what, or will replace or fix or whatever. But if you're curious, check with THEM.
