I just finished installing the update and everything seems great but is there any way to change the Google bar at the top of the home screen? I liked it when it was transparent and I would love to have it like that again or even just take it off.
The only way it can be changed is if you are using a third-party launcher, such as Nova. However, you'll lose some functionality of the home screen settings/functions if you disable the stock launcher.I just finished installing the update and everything seems great but is there any way to change the Google bar at the top of the home screen?

this will take some getting use to and I have only had my phone for 3 weeks. Must feel really weird for some of you guys.The only way it can be changed is if you are using a third-party launcher, such as Nova.

Or you can touch and hold any blank spot then tap settings and disable it.

Your only option is Nova Launcher.

I did the update last night, played with it for a few hours and then again today. I want to mirror all the positive feedback so those who are patiently waiting to see if any issues before jumping, in a word JUMP! The update went without a hitch, smooth as silk. I love the new material design and 5.1 features. A word for those clamoring for a dark theme version: I originally was in that camp, but I think it is a vestigial concern we all have from days when battery drain was a constant concern. Its the future direction for Android so come into the light Everything pops now.
How about trying a third party launcher like Nova or KK Launcher, that will solve this issue for you. Give it a shot see how you like it
