Notification line - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

Hi everyone.
I managed somehow to see very, very transparent masking region on notification line. Straight rectangle just under the camera cutout. It is visible everywhere in UI but it is hardly noticeable. Even in full screen YouTube videos.
Can someone confirm is this some kind of UI masking region? I hope it is not screen burn-in problem.?
I managed to take a picture of screen in dark room with dark green wallpaper in full screen mode and brightness all the way to maximum, and it is clearly visible.
(Photo is edited so notification region can be seen.)
Dark green wallpaper and photo on a link below.

Thanks for answer in advance.

Yes, it is like a mask were the status bar is, it looks bad, when in the apps, it looks darker

I really don't know what I did, but fiddling with ui tuner, nova settings and I cant recall what else, the dark mask in the upper part is gone!

that pic is out of focus.
my question is...what theme are they using? I have a focus and theres no blue that looks that dark on my screen (and there was a before pic too)
did they do the hack to set custom colors?
speaking of which, a full color wheel for custom accent colors is something I hope MS adds

After having custom colours, you start to realise why MS hasn't added this.
Only certain colours work well with the tiles with the white text, anything too light and the text can't be read, anything too dark and the theme text can't be viewed on the dark background like on the volume display.
Sure you could change tile fonts to black but that looks unprofessional with the black background and white text everywhere else.

true...I didn't think about that. But at the very least, I hope they add more options. There are several options but only a handful that I find I like...there are certainly more colors that would work

[Q] Is Fade and Gradient broken?

Can someone explain to me how Fade and Gradient fill styles are meant to work please? As far as I can see, neither produces results I would expect.
For example, open up the advanced parameters on a progress bar and specify the "fill mode other color" as, say, white. Then try changing the colour under the fill mode or the foreground colour - no change to the widget colour.
With Gradient fill, all I want to do is go from opaque white to transparent white but Zooper decides to get there it needs to go through yellow!
I'm either not understanding how the UI is meant to work here or these options are really busted. Anyone able to offer any help?
Example of the gradient problem is attached.

Yeah damn things been like this for a while. Shows some yellowish color for me usually. Mess with the foreground/background colors and it'll work right. Just have to F with it.
HSV gradient instead of a RGB gradient ?
I have the same issue and then googled a little. After reading these two pages "perbang.dk/rgbgradient" and "bensouthgate.com/p/12_3_13.php" (I can not post link now), I think the gradient is based on HSV and not RGB; the later seems however be more intuitive and correspond to what I imagine for a gradient from white to another color.
I don't think we can code a RGB gradient from the Advanced Parameter because some functions are currently missing.
If anyone has an idea...

Turn off launcher's gradual shading.

I use the "Galactic Core Free" active wallpaper on my Pixel 2 XL:. The launcher is gradually shaded from mid to bottom of the display. It is cool how when you slide the app drawer up it continues making the shading darker. However, I would prefer to have the full screen visibility of the wallpaper. Does anyone know if that shading can be turned off.
Also, even though the wallpaper is very dark, the menus are not switching from light to dark.
Thanks for any insight.

Notification Bar

My notification bar has a weird lighting issue, it only happens on the home screen. I've only had the phone for 3 months, has anyone else experience this or has any suggestions on how to fix it?
Are you talking about the yellowish tint on the top edge? Is it part of the wallpaper?
It is normal. There is a gradient to allow the icons/clock etc to be seen regardless of wallpaper. I don't believe it can be disabled on the stock launcher.

Question Pixel themes and notification panel effects

I am wondering how to get more colour theme options when I set a new wallpaper, usually it gives me the same 4 or it may be a mix of a few depending on my wallpapers but I cannot seem to attain a white or grey theme as shown on the pixel 6 advertisement with white widgets and white app icons on grey backgrounds. Is there a way to get more options?
Also, sometimes when I slide down my notification panel it is completely white, and sometimes it is a blurred version of my background, why isn't this consistent?
It's limited to the small number of muted colour selections with no way to add more afaict.
The blurred pull down background is a bug triggered by adjusting the brightness slider.
