Hi all
As you may have known, Text chat Notifications in Gtalk can be either shown on Status Bar or as Pop-up dialog. I like pop-up dialog better as it saves me from pulling-down Notification screen. But the background color, regardless of any Launcher/theme used is dark grey while texts are in black. As a result the dialog is very hard to read.
Where is the settings of the color located and how can I change it?
In the meantime I use third party application such as Iphone Notifications but it adds up RAM usage for background process, something I want to avoid.
Any response would be much appreciated.
I'm not sure why this happens, and therefore I'm posting this here.

So, notification bar and navigation bar get transparent when using home screen, for some reason. I'm not sure does Nova Launcher or some setting on AOKP do this. They revert back to black when using any app. It looks nice on lock screen, but not so nice on the home screen, as you can see from the screenshot.
I did search for this, but didn't find anything, so I thought that someone here could help me to disable it. :highfive:
I'm using AOKP, Nova Launcher and Franco Kernel.
I dont know how to turn it off, but for the ugliness on the homescreen, turn of shadows in apex settings>Homescreen

Thanks for this, but it really doesn't take away the problem :/ I would just wanna get solid theme.
I also noticed that if I put transparency to my application menu, it will show transparent bars too.

I'm sorry, then I can't help anymore. I don't own this device so I don't have enough experience. :/

The transparency is set by the rom. To change it just change the opacity in ROM Control for both the navigation and notification bars.
The transparency only really works in the launcher (home pages, lock screen and app drawer). Apps don't draw behind the navigation or notification bars (there's no background behind the bars) hence they only show as black. At least that's my understanding of how it works.
Edit: To disable transparency set the opacity to 100%.

Hmm, I couldn't find the right toggles from the settings, could you write the route to the right one? I tried multiple toggles but none seemed to work.. maybe they were just the wrong ones.
I noticed this when I went to aokp build 4. I found that setting the transparency setting to 50% matched the homescreen
Rom control -> General UI -> Transparency Settings
give that a go and see if it works

Thanks for this! Seems weird that 0 alpha means full transparency, and 255 alpha means no transparency at all. Normally in colours 255 is the lightest and 0 darkest. Anyhow, the problem is now solved :victory:

I had this problem too. Thank you for your tip! It helped me
So I had to put on this stock wallpaper because it wasn't set as one of the default options in this custom ROM that I am using, it's the same native resolution, but all wallpaper outside of the system default ones have a shadow hanging over the status bar. I don't like it, it makes the screen look bad and not uniform and I'm concerned with burn in as well down the line. Is there any way to make the status bar fully transparent?
Is there a way to get a black notification window without theming the icons and everything else?
Doesnt seem so. I had to just choose a theme and from there just change the icon pack etc
plugging my thread, it doesn't compromise with icons and everything, Ijust made light backgrounds to dark. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/theme-dark-default-t3597615
My 7 mini does this annoying thing where the home screen and notification tray brighten and dim or change slight tones in color - I can't tell exactly which. It only does it on my home screen , if I slide down notifications in any app the the color of the tray stays the same. Anyone else have an issue like this?
The notification tray changes color depending on the colors of the wallpaper. That's not an issue, if that's what you mean.

Thanks but that's not what I mean. If I swipe down the notification tray changes tone in color. If I swipe down again to show all quick settings it changes color again. If I swipe up once back to just notifications , it changes color again. Finally, if I go home the same effect happens on my wallpaper. Same thing happens if I swipe up to open app drawer.

Oh, I see what you mean. I noticed this a long time ago and it didn't bother me. Unfortunately, you'll have to live with it. Perhaps, it only works with some colors, though. My panel is green right now and it's not darkening/brightening when I pull down quick settings as usual. Try using a wallpaper with a different color instead.
