Google Now search bar widget..

[sniffs]

Why is my LG G2 showing only the transparent Jelly Bean Google search bar widget? the one where it's just a white outline.. I can't figure out how to get the Kit kat one where it's translucent.. I saw some screenshots yesterday where someone had the kitkat search bar on their LG G2 and I began wondering why I don't.. mine's stock, running the official OTA Kitkat.

The one you're seeing is actually from ICS....the JB and KK search bars look virtually the same, but like you said they're translucent....are you using a launcher by chance? I use Apex and it gives me the option to use any of the 3 styles, maybe you just have the wrong one selected? Try adding it right from the widgets drawer.

Nope, stock everything. When I remove the widget and try and add it back, it only gives me that old bar..

Well then I'm not quite sure....you could always ADD a new launcher and have the ability to change it. Obviously it'd be better if it just worked like it should, but that's an alternate option.
