Hey guys, I know I might be a little picky, but here is my question.
In Jelly bean, the notification bar disappears when you drop down the notification center which only displays the date/settings option and ofcourse the notifications you might have. Notification bar works just fine on the lock screen and mainscreen, however, my theme does not permit me to make it visible on the mainscreen. This was not a problem on ICS, as the notification bar showed up just fine even with the notification center dropped down.
Is there a solution to this? I would really like to see my notification bar with my drop down center at the same time.
not to be nit picky, but notification center is the iOS copy of the notification panel from android.
Anyways, yes, it does make your notificaiton bar disappear, which is annoying since you dont see your signal, battery level, etc. I havent see anyway around this yet.

Where did iOS randomly come from? lol.
But yes, now we are unable to see signal, battery % etc from the notification drop down.

How are you able to get the notification panel to work on the lockscreen?

Right now my phone is not locked, that's why. But that is not the point, regardless of that I can still see my notification bar (signal/battery etc), I just want that notification bar to be shown when you have your notification center dropped down (this was normal on ICS, but they removed it in JB)

No one knows if there is a fix D:!?

Why does it need to be fixed? You can't live without battery or signal bars for few seconds?
well its a simple reason why they did this. with the notifications pulled down, you don't need to be looking at the top bar because all the notifications are in front of you anyway. and the date and time is also visible in the new notification shade as a bigger font.

What is the point of using Android then, if you cannot customize it to your own personal preference? I just want it to be more convenient. Especially since the only time I can see my notification bar is on the lock screen.....

Well it's not like its going to cause a huge problem if they left the bar as it was in ICS and every other android OS..... I don't particularly care about the date and time, I just want the wifi/3g signals to be clearly visible with other graphic notifications which don't show up in the notification panel drop down.
If u look closely the notification tray actually drops down and on top of the status bar and is partially transparent on the bottom half of the header.. so I think the answer is yes, in time maybe someone will do a fully transparent status bar header(hopefully getting rid of the second clock for my ocdness). Or something...

Yeah I just hope some one has a fix for this soon. I didn't see any reason for them to remove it in the first place.
I did not notice this until you pointed it out... How long do you stay with your notification bar down?

If you read the previous comments, you would see that I have a custom theme, requiring me to drop my notification bar down just to look at it... Or go to lock screen, which is extremely irritating whenever I want to see that useful info on my bar.
Obviously this doesn't apply to everyone, and I understand that. If I knew how to fix this myself, I would but alas I am a noob who is still trying to learn the way of Android

There might be a setting, Expanded Desktop! Turn it off!!!
If you use two fingers to pull the status bar, you can see the remaining battery and the signal at least

Received G3 yesterday - upgrade from G2. Home screen icons have the labels displayed below them. This is not an issue for me - but the black font they are displayed with bothers me... is there a way to change that? Not rooted.
Thanks in advance

UPDATE: weird - it seems to change automatically. I switched to a darker background and the font color changed to white. Maybe better to remove the labels in that case - if I recall on the G2 it was possible... is it available on the G3?
Did we just an update? My notification bar turned black out of no where. I like it

If you want to change to a different wallpaper, which for some reason changes it to white, you can use this app (requires Android 8.1) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lb.lwp_plus
So just recently got the 6.1, been great so far. Just have a question regarding the auto theme change when changing wallpaper.
When changing to a dark wallpaper changes to dark theme overall, however it's showing the sea-green color in brightness slider and volume sliders while showing the blue in app drawer in dark theme. It does show blue overall when it's in light theme state.
Just want to confirm if anyone else has it the same way. If you could post the screenshot with the version number, would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Same here, screenshot with version number of what?

I just meant screenshot showing blue in app drawer and sea green in notification drawer.
By version I meant model number of your 6.1.

Oh, I use Nova Launcher, so the difference is only visible on the brightness slider when the "theme" is dark or white. I like blue color more. For the volume bar I use "Volume slider" app and it change it to Android P style.
My device number is TA-1043

So on your end, when a dark theme's applied, it never shows blue in the brightness slider, right?

Thanks seems like a bug as it does show only blue in light mode. Post a screenshot as well if you can for both light and dark drawer themes.
Also in chrome, it shows white status bar instead of showing he color of the website on status bar.

About the white status bar, I think it was changed by Google in latest Chrome.

Not for chrome but I believe it happened after the 8.1 update, even though it looks good generally but not when a website changes top bar to a color and it still shows white.
Also aware of any way to get blue accent in status bar in dark theme as well, certainly seems like a bug, right?

Probably it is after 8.1, I searched a bit, but I didn't find any information about it.
According this (or any other screenshot for this feature):
https://www.androidpolice.com/2017/...ight-dark-themes-no-longer-exclusive-pixel-2/
it should be blue, so it is probably bug, but if Nokia did it or it is in Android One code...
I don't think it is possible to change it in "normal easy" way, but you can use Substratum + Andromeda + nice dark theme, e.g. I have "aospUI Dark theme", but is not activated.

True, I know it's supposed to be blue as I searched before as well, that's why I posted on here to know if I'm facing some sorta glitch or it's a general thing everyone has on their 6.1.
