Giant quick settings is ugly - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers

Anyone know of a way to hide or minimize the quick settings area in the notifications. Not only is it ugly (IMO) but it takes up a third of the notifications area.

How to change background colour of Gtalk pop-up alert?

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.

Is my N4 defective?

I've noticed something strange happening on my Nexus 4:
When I set a wallpaper that's not live (any of the standard wallpapers that ship with the phone) and pull down my notification bar, the wallpaper under the pull down bar tends to shift from a detailed background to a more simple background (in regards to the amount of lines shown in the picture and edges), and then switches back. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this right, but if you can, set your background to a stock non-live wallpaper, pull down the notification bar, and see if your background image glitches out and changes quality. Most, if not all, of the wallpapers I've used have had this happen, and even if I pull down the notification bar in the app drawer the apps underneath the pull down menu glitch out and change their look/contrast/brightness... I don't know what it is.
Is this a known bug, or is my phone defective?

Are you sure you aren't just seeing the transparency effect of the notification pulldown or appdrawer background? Post a screenshot of a before/after if you can.

[Q] Using the Quick Setting toggles/buttons from notification area on home screen?

Is there a way, or an app, which will let me use Samsung's "quick settings" buttons from the notification area as widgets on my home screen?
I mean the blue/green ones here: i.imgur DOT com/JRlFNBm.jpg
So far I've been using Widgetsoid to create "fake" toggle icons but it would be great if there was a way to put the "real" icons on the home screen.
Cheers

Any way to truly hide the notch?

Is there any way to truly hide the notch? I mean that no icon should appear in the black bar and the entire status bar is shifted below the notch. I want this because due to dual sims and other persistent icons, I cannot see the network speed. Thanks in advance.
Even if you could Android 9.0 doesn't utilize the middle of the notification bar. I have a pixel and the notifications don't fill the middle like there is an invisible notch there.

There is still confusion about what the statusbar is and what the notification bar is. You have the statusbar which can contain notification icons, etc. etc.
To me the notification bar is what you "drag down" from the statusbar. So I guess that what you mean is actually the statusbar.
(But I do not want to start a discussion about this, so call it what you want )
You have already asked questions in the CarwebGuru and FCC launcher thread. You should know by now that both can hide the statusbar (They both call it statusbar as well). They both have widgets/icons to show some of the wifi/bluetooth/etcetera icons. They both need access to "Access to notifications" to somehow display the notifications that apps or the system want to show.
If you are playing with both launchers I would first try to accomplish what you want with those launchers.

Hi
thanks for the reply
currently i am using Carwebguru, it really hides the statusbar, (not the dropdown), that is what i want, but if i am using radio or waze for example, this bar is always there. it is not a problem for me for it to be there but i wish to remove bluetooth status from there, current time, Wifi.
hope i was clear enough
