A Warning about white status bars on amoled screens. - Blade General

As I found out with my HTC desire having a white status bar with a amoled screen can lead to this, note the faint line at the top of the phone, this picture is after only a few months of using a white status bar, imagine how bad it could get after a year!

Having a black status bar would avoid this, but our ZTE blades come with white ones.(nice r&d ZTE)
If you have the ability to change the colour of your status bar, please do. If you can't/won't reducing the brightness of the screen will reduce the effect.
If your going to release a rom please consider including the option of having a black status bar or getting rid of the white one all together.
This does not affect LCD screens afaik, amoled is quite bad for screen burn in compared to other technologies.

Good to know, always black'd up
Most roms have a black theme now.

Thanks!!
EDIT: I found UOT Kitchen and got a black status bar!!

the green highlight selection can be changed quite easily.
i've tried them with my diamond but not with my HD
Sorry but I only see new icons. I don't know how to change the green in the menus : dialer, contacts, SMS, ...
Is it not possible to change this in the settings like with the Omnia ?
Here are some screens of a SFR ROM :

How can I have the green of the non branded ROM changed in red or blue ?

My expectations for the next minor update are:
Red: Same as APP menu (with transparency, not black)
Yellow: Themed Sony's like
Blue: Same as APP menu (with transparency, not white)
Green: Same as APP menu (with transparency, not black)

Blue: Remove white divisor stripe
Red/White: Terrible folder icon
Blue/LYellow: Remove "dock" glass? (terrible), low down dock icons
Red/White: Terrible, could be just one "pattern" of transparency, like app menu
Red: Full transparency
Blue: Why do I need this information again and again...
Red: Terrible blue stripe
blur transparency, black, small nav bar and look like glass theme as windows 7

Nexus 4 red dead pixel on screen?

This dead pixel (well what I think is a dead pixel) keeps popping up on the top left if my screen on the notification shade. It doesn't happen all the time maybe at least twice a week or so and don't last that long and can instantly disappear when u open the notification shade.
Here's a screen shot I took when it popes up its an odd half w shape when you zoom in:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Can anyone tell me what it is and what's happening.

I would also want to know about this, I just got my nexus 4 about 3 months ago and I've always had this problem as well its just annoying at times seeing that red pixel
Yes,having my N4 for like 1 month and i saw that pixel.It's from Rom or Kernel problems.
I see every so often and i'm stock rooted. I can get rid of it by pulling down the notification bar
A stuck pixel wouldn't show on a screenshot as its not actually being drawn by anything.
dead pixels should not show up in screenshots since it would be a defect in the actual display panel. This must be something wrong with the rendering.
Dead pixels don't show up in screen shots :fingers-crossed:
I too get this red dot once in while. anyone knows what it is?

Burn in already? (Screen included)

So guys I'm kinda worried, I just got an s8 today and check this picture from contacts:
https://ibb.co/nLKobQ
As you see, the most left part (that is usually all black on most applications) is darker than the rest. Is your s8 like this as well or just mine? Not sure if its supposed to be like this or I should have it replaced. Thanks!

It's supposed to be that way. You can choose what color you want the navigation bar to be and the default is off-white.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

Thanks! Was gettin worried...
That's normal though. As tharghan mentioned the navigation bar is off-white by default (which is sort of like a VERY light gray) and this helps prevent burn-in.
It's most likely not going to become an issue as soon as on other phones like the 6P and Pixel since the navigation bar and buttons consistently change color when you switch apps. If you notice the navigation buttons are white on the home screen but they turn dark gray once you go into an app.
