Bring Back The Black/Transparent Navigation Bar....

[SWL3600]

Since the update on my S8, I just don't dig this new WHITE navigation bar. I'd rather hit the little dot and deal with swiping up to get my nav buttons to pop up but man I just can't get used to it.

I like having the black/transparent nav bar that is still on the home screens. Please make this an option. Thanks!

Telling us qon't help.. If we could do that here, the Note 8 would have a flat screen (the curved edges tend to crack over time because they're not properly annealed) and the battery will be removable (or you have to sent the phone out and wait a week or two, and in some cases without a phone.

We complain here, but it's Google and the manufacturers who make the decisions.

Yes please.

Would like that as well but unfortunately that's up to the big boys at Google or Samsung.

Otherwise, I dig this phone.

OP, check out an app called "Navbar Apps". It give a lot of control over that pesky navigation bar; works in most apps.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Got the app and changed the nav bar to black. So far so good.....now we're talking!

Thanks much!

My wife and I were some of the last people on earth to get smartphones a couple years ago LOL.

Now, it amazes me how some of the littlest things can drive me nuts with this thing if they're not just right.

I got the new update yesterday....and this nav bar thing was driving me crazy. Now, it's black and I feel normal again!

Glad to hear that helped. Cheers

Just sucks that we have to rely on another downloaded app to get a function that was NOT broke to begin with.

Thanks ecm, works like a champ. I like to change the colors of my nav bar to keep things fresh

Nova Launcher lets you change it.

Great find. Thanks. I did try it for a few hours but went back to the stock light color. After using it for so long I'm kinda used to it now. Plus it makes the screen looks slightly taller.

How I have Nova launcher?

I use Microsoft Launcher currently, but used Nova Prime for years. Never saw an option in Nova to change nav bar to black. I have used an ADB command and substratum in the past. Not so important for me anymore.

I think this app might be color-blind. It made the nav bar different colors, but usually didn't match the app color scheme.
