"water drop" annoying. Hide it?? - Moto G7 Questions & Answers

I like this phone. I do.
My first impression on starting it was... "WTH is THAT?!! ?
It's distracting and annoying.
My question is, can I turn that status bar all black all the time?!
I can try to post a screenshot of what I'm trying to accomplish.
I'm not very tech savvy. I had to search for the term "status bar."
Thank you for any help you can offer!

use a black wallpaper. other than that there is no way to hide the notch.

On some web pages, that bar is a different color. This one is orange, somewhat unusual.
I guess I'm asking if there is any way to control that color?

Unlock developer mode and look for "Display Cutout". That will remove the notch.

Okay. I am now a developer. That's as far as I can get. I cannot find display cutout.
I cannot see the image you posted.
Thank you for helping!

Icons on WM5

Hi,
Could someone tell me if there's a way to change/remove the icons from the today screen. I'm talking about the little butterfly, the house, the messenger icon and the envelope.
Thanks
Andrew
Did you steal your device or something ?
It's in the manual, but here you go...
Start > Settings > Today > Items tab
disable and re-order the Today Screen items there
No, I actually bought it. Actually it never crossed my mind to read the manual. Maybe it's a bad habit.
Thanks
:lol:

I'm much the same, actually... I like to just sit down and poke at things (found the today screen settings that way, for example).. but manuals do sometimes have good information that you can't easily stumble upon otherwise.. so once I feel 'ok' with a device/piece of software, I read through the entire manual once, and highlight (or note down) the bits that are interesting and seem non-obvious.

GSM 'Brick' background on CDMA?

Hey all, I'd like to know how I can get the 'brick' style background on all my tabs like the GSM version of the phone has. I have the Sprint version of the phone and it includes a black background.

I will see what i can do... I have to find which manila files to change...
but it will take a while, don't have the time right now...
Maybe someone else will beat me to it!?
Awesome ^_^
Well, there is a thread called "no bricks" which does exactly the opposite. I don't like the bricks
So, before applying that patch, i backed up my original bricks file, which should work for you.
Here you go (untested though! Make sure you back up the file too):
my "bricks" don't look as good as the pic above. mine are more round and spaced further. that does look way better.

Anyone seen this? just made it quick in ms paint as I didnt bother to get a screenshot.. It should be clear if you've seen it before.
Thanks in advance
That's the icon when you have the phone set to Vibrate.
It's your first pda isn't it ? I think it'll be good for you to read the notice .
Thanks! Silly me should have realized it replaced the sound on/off icon.. It seems to change some settings in there itself sometimes
thanks again
Yeah first PDA.. I tried to click on it to see what it was, but I just came to the normal screen with battery indicator and network connection.. The icon looked a bit scary so it got me off..
Lol ! welcome on windows mobile board !

White notification bar and camera app question

Is it possible to get the white "droid like" taskbar on a desire? Also, the camera app in my opinion is not as nice as this one

Can you change this with a simple apk?
Thanks in advance, i looked trough the threads but couldnt find anything..
More than a 100 views and nothing?
i'd also really like to know if possible to switch between the stock android and the black sense notification bar
i know theyre different software but perhaps this can be achieved through a theme or something?
The white topbar is doable, it's done in many roms, and there are plenty of people doing this.
Camera app may be as simple as having Root and finding an APK of the stock 2.1 camera app, and installing over HTC's, or it may just not work altogether.
Wow. Didn't think many people would want the white bar. It's been the standard for a while, and it's one of the things I, and I think many others, like about Sense. Would be kind of neat if they made it where you could adjust the color of it to anything you wanted or could adjust the opacity of it.
Amoled wants black user interface for battery-saving.

On Oreo, they are all the same color:
That's horrible! I could easily find the app I wanted based on the color, without having to read the name. Any way to get that back? I'm ready to root, get magisk, whatever.
