I can't be the only one that thinks the new transparent status bar/tile screen is hideous! In some cases it resembles screen burn, which is not at all attractive, and I see no practicality of it. I was hoping some of my substratum themes would mask it or at least make it less transparent, but I haven't found anything.
Anyone found a way to disable it/revert to the older visual theme?

thanks mate, this is it! just pity that the bottom bar is slightly moved upwards and doesnt cover the original icons properly but thank you for your time
Yeah, i agree. It slightly looks unfinished, and after uninstalling the theme the bars are still clearly visible. Any thoughts?

Try it now, I changed the tab key is no longer transparent but that the default and original work, happy!
PS but you have to first uninstall and then install it.
Screen
I might be doing something completely wrong but this is how my screen looks after the installation and once i have removed it. The red arrow indicates the annoying bar which is present at all times now. I don't what this means, so some clarification would be great.

You have to uninstall this shcut 16 and a normal theme replaces the original one, so if you want to keep it installed this theme!
Argh, i tried installing this one, but the problem is still there. I even tried disabling Sense but the bar remains. This is also after i removed my first theme and the 16 shortcut installation. But i actually wanted to ask something else. I looked at some of your work, and i really like the clocks and themes you created for the HTC mega. Are you going to create some more of those for the mini by any chance?

It's a bit difficult to bring the issues of mega QVGA HTC HD mini HVGA, however your problem and you have uninstalled and reinstal shcut 16, you find it difficult because if you can not uninstalled that old you have to instal the above then do the other procedure .
Nice one.. tnxxx
I got it to work! the only thing is that the 16 shortcut failed to install with the theme. Thank you and looking forward to your future work
I'm looking for something simple and flashable that will just change the Sense 5 status bar from the grey radial gradient to a solid black, but I want to keep the Sense 5 icons, they're great. This stupid grey statusbar is literally killing all of Sense for me, and I LOVE the rest of sense, but the status bar is omnipresent and I'm really just not a fan.
I'm running Android Revolution 9.3 but I don't mind switching Sense ROMS if necessary.
I'm doubling up on this request :fingers-crossed:
I too would like to see this :good:
Me too, it's difficult to see the white icons when I have a bright wallpaper set.

I flashed it and removed the launcher file and its working fine in apps. But is there any way to prevent it from blacking out the status bar in Nova?
What I want to have is the notification pull-down that is transparent or semi-transparent, not opaque as it is now. Is that possible?
I'm using Nova Launcher currently.

If you don't find one @Tigerhoods or @clck will usually make one if you request it. Also here's a list of all the apk's.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73042403&postcount=1442
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.

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.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73042403&postcount=1442
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

I have found this mod to obsolete. With @Zacharee1's custom fingerprint application users can now swap out images for their fingerprint icon on the fly.
It's an absolutely fantastic app and it allows users to customize their icons without decompiling their systemui apk!
Link to thread- https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/themes/app-theme-opfpcontrol-custom-t3899522
Download any icons you want, resize them to 174x174 (the stock icon size). Open the app and select your images from your gallery then reboot!
If you're still a fan, like me, of having NO icon then simply download an image, resize it and make it completely transparent with your favorite Android image modifying application. I personally use background eraser. Select the transparent images and reboot.
Great application @Zacharee1 !

I changed the fingerprint icon last night in the home screen of my 6t. I only swapped out the default icon, the animations are the same and the center is still green. Fingerprint is fully functional. I was wondering if anyone here knows how to make a flashable twrp zip. This way I could easily make multiple different icons that people can flash in recovery.
The below link is to my modded OPSystemUI.apk. I install it the old fashion way...push it to system/priv-app. Then change the app permissions to rw-r-r. Then move it into the OPSystemUI folder and overwrite the current OPSystemUI.apk. Reboot!
**NOW THAT WE HAVE FUNCTIONING TWRP MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE MESSING WITH THE SYSTEM PARTITION**
