Thank you very much, I'm a developer and I know that you can be careful all you want but in the real world something that you didn't predict will happen and you'll need to fix it so I know how you feel. ?

Don't worry and thanks for the really fast answer.

Another thing that I noticed is that when I have Whatsapp notifications, or if there's the playing notification of Spotify the animation of when I pull up and the down the whole notifications drawer is laggy and not fluid anymore.

I also noticed that when you get messages from a Telegram group chat the name of the sender of the message in the notification is unreadable because it's too dark.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Thanks I'll see what I can do.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] vi001101106:
The wait was well worth it. Dark Pixel is legit.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Updated Pixel Experience.

So here's the deal with notification text.

Some apps like telegram hard code the sender's name in black in framework/java.

This means it's not touchable no matter what. If they send more than one message I can put a shadow around that black text of the sender's name. So I've done that. It's a small white shadow which makes it at least readable. You'll notice this in several apps because most apps do this for whatever reason.

WhatsApp i was able to fix but unless telegram moves that text back into colors it will always be black. You can use the popup feature in telegram if it really bugs you that much but everyone who's made a black Oreo substratum theme has this exact same issue and there is no fix.

Now since I didn't go pure black it is visible but not ideal and not easy to see for sure.

What's interesting is that in Pie this is fixable im told.

Anyway I hope you guys are enjoying the theme. I'm gonna check the plus messenger app which if you're not familiar with it, is basically telegram in a very theme friendly way and it has multiple themes built in it. Maybe they exposed this. In which case that would be a good route to try. I'll let you guys know.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Gumokz109:
Have you ever considered keeping the Dark theme, but for the notifcation part, changed it back to white to avoid the Notification text issue? Saves you a lot of time trying to figure out how to rectify the hard coded black text.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikestony:
Bite your tongue! lol jk :D Maybe it could be an option to enable if it gets annoying.....dunno, just throwing out ideas.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] LookedPath:
I personally agree with this since it's really difficult to read the notifications if the color can't be changed.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I'm gonna try a few things tonight with the notification text that might solve a few things. If they do not work I will make a patch for light notifications which will solve everything of course.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ascended 1:
Please somehow keep it as an option, my favorite experience with this theme is the dark notifications that previously only has worked with a substratum theme. I got zero problems with readability on any of my apps.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Oh don't worry I would not make that the default option. It would be an optical patch.

What I'm going to do is play with ideas and see if I can somehow sneak in a small rounded rectangle around where the name of the sender goes in a notification and make it white or blue so you can read the name and have the rest of the notification bg dark. It might work or it may not work. Or it could look horrible too. It's really tricky.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] gnabtib8:
Thanks for the hard work on this theme. Things have changed since the v10 days
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] AhsanU:
Thank you so much for the theme! I'm back on my G7 and am loving the Android P style quick setting/pull down on the Pixel Experience theme.

I decided to just buy the non-Substratum version since I don't want to deal with any fuss. I'd happily pay for another Pixel Experience theme if it were dark!

Either way, thank you so much for this. I would not be using this phone if your theming/work didn't exist.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
There is a dark version! Check post 4 on the first page of the thread

First of all I just wanted to say thanks to the op for the pixel experience dark. I am really enjoying this g7 now. I was sad I couldn't root it so this really helps.

One question is there a way to change the accent color from blue to something else?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
For this theme no there isn't. Lg theme system doesn't have that ability to change accents based on user preferences
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] LookedPath:
[MENTION=5098295]markbencze[/MENTION] sorry if I'm being insistent but I really like your pixel black theme but I can't use it because some key apps that I use have problems with the notifications being unreadable.

A few posts back you mentioned that you were considering designing a patch to keep the notifications of the stock color instead of turning them black, did you change your mind about it or are you still working on it?

Thanks again for your amazing work ;)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Nope didn't change my mind or forget. I honestly needed a few days off to rest. It's draining at times and I needed to catch my breath but I'll get in this for ya
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] LookedPath:
Don't worry about it, rest as much as you need.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jascolli:
Hey Mark. Really loving your theme! One small thing to make you aware of, it's no big deal and certainly not rush at all, but Adguard updated the other day and I'm back to getting the square corners. Thanks for all you do.

Hey guys check out my review on the ZeroLemon Battery case for the LG G7 ThinQ! I made a thread for it but if you want you can also ask stuff or comment here. I'm not that fussy!

Hello, im thinking to buy the pixel experience thene for the lg g7 but im not sure what version to buy (substratum or non). I already have purchased andromeda long time ago.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Honestly I'd go with the non substratum version. It's just easier and has everything the other version has. I'm done with substratum now. Too many headaches
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikestony:
Nice! I just ordered one last night. :D
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Nice. I'm still using mine. One thing I forgot to mention in the video that took me a bit to figure out was that when your phone battery is at 100% the battery case will turn off after a bit. It's not a bug though it's a feature. I mean it kinda makes sense right. Why waste power if it's at 100%. So when I'd look at my phone at times and see it's not charging and went down to like 96 or 97 I'd power the case back on and shortly thereafter it would go back up. Pretty clever feature actually.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Mikestony:
**delete please**
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jdogg4000:
Is there any negatives in terms of battery and performance when comparing a substratum theme and a lg home theme+ . I want the accents but not at the cost of battery life. Mainly for my wife who would enjoy having a different color then blue. Thanks!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Honestly I have no idea. I don't think think there's any impact on battery because it's just an overlay and they don't have any permissions that would use extra resources.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] dev neo:
hi devx fred here from Google play store review.Sorry i can't edit the review because i got refund for it.What i am trying to say is the messaging app in 'Pixel Experience Theme Dark for LG G7' is in black in screenshot but when i applied the theme and restarted my app was in white color like stock.No changes.Another thing please make notiication bar like stock Lg UI filling notch space .Your's one have just black bars around it.Sorry .
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
So I'm curious why you're asking me to make changes on a theme that you're not even using. Why does it even matter if you don't have the theme?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] dev neo:
Because i have a good theme from LG store which is perfect and everything is working.And i didn't see reviews first trusting the theme obviously.When i saw to check my bugs other users have already posted that.And the full status bar bug has been posted multiple times even after your last update and seems like don't even care to reply or correct the bug.So simple af I don't wanna use buggy themes which makes my phone look bad actually after all they are visual based work.So I wonder that if u can correct the bugs( what does it will cost you )or you are just angry with me because i got refund and not gonna use buggy theme.I don't mind to purchase theme for few dollars after all .
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
LoL wow that's kinda funny actually. See your original comment doesn't even make a lot of sense. First of all the messaging app had instructions in the app description mentioning that for it to be black you had to install a patch. You would however have to read the app description to know this. All I can do is write instructions for people but I can't make them read them.

Now that Google messenger has dark mode the patch is no longer required. That's not a bug . It's actually an add on bonus. But again the patch is no longer needed. I did this for those who didn't want to wait for dark mode in their android messaging app.

As for what you mention about the quick settings, I really don't know what you even mean so idk how you can say I don't care. All you said is I have black bars around it which is vague and doesn't explain much. Had you posted a screenshot I may know what you meant but you just said something about black bars so I can't fix something that I don't know is an issue. Please show me what multiple people have mentioned.

I'm not mad at all dude. I encourage interaction and feedback but at least if you're going to do so take the time to be constructive and helpful about it and give detailed information that makes sense so that I can actually address it. Also and please take the time to read things if you're going to bring up a concern (Google messaging concern)
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
I'm guessing this is your review which I replied to asking for more information. You did not provide anything requested. What am I supposed to do? You mentioned an issue and I asked you to email me so we could discuss it and I could give you direct support which I do for many people. But you chose not to. But apparently that means I don't care? Yet I replied to your review 18 minutes after you left it!

Btw the theme has a 4.9 rating. Yours is the only non 5 star rating and the only one where anyone is mentioning an issue.

As I said before all you had to do was give me sufficient info and I could have helped you. It seems you're just making things up now which doesn't help anyone. If you don't want to use the theme or don't like it that's ok. I can't please everyone. I do my best. But don't make things up by saying multiple reviews and ratings had mentioned something when that's not the case.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] mingaldrichgan:
On a (hopefully) more positive note... I've been using the latest Play Store version (1.7, I think?) with the patch you previously posted here (which I think you've since taken down, but which I fortunately saved). That combination seems to work OK, but I was wondering if you'd be willing to release an updated version of that patch, and possibly one for the dark version as well? Without it, the full-width VPN banner sticks out.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] dev neo:
Sorry ...my bad .I gave bad rating mistakely to your theme .I thought it was WSTeam's theme .I will edit the review.(the name were similar so ...my bad ,.give me some time.)

It's all good man. Don't even worry about it. Just let it be! You said you're using a specific theme that you like and that's all that matters man!

Hey I have a question.. If I buy pixel legacy theme will it support Android p when released or do I have to buy another theme again?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
So here's the deal with themes when we get an os update. I fully plan on updating it. However it's never a quick process. It's not that it's difficult to do normally. It's that I have to wait for the ota to fully roll out to every single device. Otherwise if I push an update, those who haven't received the update yet (or won't at all which does happen) will have their theme stop working because most people use auto update and once they reapply the theme bam. It will cease to work. It's kinda crappy but there's really no other way around it. So sometimes what I do is just make a new theme altogether because believe it or not some G6 and v30s still have yet to receive Oreo which creates the issue I described above. So instead of doing nothing and waiting for months, I will make something similar yet completely different. I had a pixel 1 and pixel 2 theme and now I have pixel experience. All of which are quite different. Pixel Experience is by far the most advanced theme though and I hope when we get pie that lg doesn't revert back to the older theme system which was very limited.

Also it's another reason why I price my themes very cheap. Heck they're cheaper than a cup of coffee and this way I'm not just gauging people with heavy prices like a lot of Samsung these do!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Hey guys I have a question for some of you. I'm not making a new thread just for this! What's the deal with the AR stickers I keep seeing advertised everywhere on Facebook for the G7? I see it posted by lg several times a day and can't find a link to how it works or how to use them but they look fun.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Lancerz:
Open your camera app and go to modes, you should see AR stickers there. Although I don't really get the point of them.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
LoL that's too funny! I had no idea we had those. This is what happens when I spend all my time tinkering and not actually using my phone!

Vector Theme

I would love if the Vector Theme for V20 could be used on my new G7.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bobthahog:
Yeah I'm having issues with alpha not fully working on my G7. The settings menu and quick settings don't theme to black. Notifications work fine though. Hopefully it gets some love soon.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
That's because you didn't apply the lg system resources.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bobthahog:
Well I could have swore I did. But I will try again when I get off work tonight. I'm not new to substratum or anything. Just new to using it on an LG. I usually stick with Samsung. But Sprint had a killer deal going on the G7 so got one to go along with my S9 Plus. I purchased your pixel dark experience for the G7 and I love it. I just miss having apps blacked out. Thanks for the reply though.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Hey no worries. It's easy to overlook. There's a bunch of overlays needed to be applied so it happens!
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bobthahog:
Just a quick question, is there any chance you might update the apps at a future date? Gonna try to apply alpha again here soon and see if I can get settings and quick settings applied correctly.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bobthahog:
Ok, I have applied Android system overlay and systemui overlay but settings and quick settings are still not blacked out. I think it's just that the theme needs updated. I'm just guessing on that. But from screenshots you see notifications are themed perfectly.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Lg system resources aren't applied! That's why
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bobthahog:
Ok, I got it now. :good:
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Choose the minimal quick settings style btw. The non minimal was supposed to be removed a long time ago but I forgot
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bobthahog:
Ok, thanks for the info. I now have my G7 blacked out. Using swift for the 3rd party apps. That was the only thing I noticed was the active quick settings toggles are solid accent color. I will apply the minimal quick settings now.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Bobthahog:
I now have it set up great. :good:

Does this work on the G710ULM variant?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:

Yes it is but my town got hit by a tornado on Friday. I'll get to it when I can. For now I have other things to deal with. Not to be short with you because I'm sure you had no idea. We don't normally ever get tornadoes here so this was a massive shock to the city

Little ot here but is anyone here planning on getting the V40?

I just read an article on mobile syrup saying it's not going to be released in Canada which really surprised me. Hopefully the source is wrong
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] xeizo:
We haven't got most of the V-series in Sweden, those used are imports, it's not total unlikely the same thing will happen in Canada.

Anyway, I'm happy with the G7. The format is excellent for handling and fits well in a normal pocket. And it's very light for being a flagship. Probably the lightest out there. The DAC used to separate the V-series but now the G7 has the same level of DAC. For anything I would guess the sound quality will be a downgrade in the V40 as it's Bang & Olufsen licensed and they have done some really crappy laptop jobs recently.

I mostly bought the G7 because of two things, the Quad DAC and it was the cheapest Snapdragon 845 device, which is currently the best and most full featured SoC. Also, Bluetooth is really strong in the G7 and has solved several problems I have had before and have so far been totally problem free.

Battery life has surprised me, It's actually pretty good. I think the camera may be the only thing letting the G7 down a bit, but I have better cameras if needed and live happily with only a "ok" camera. I do not lust for the V40, but maybe for a next gen Snapdragon 855 device on 7nm but those won't start appearing until next year.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
Good points. I tend to agree that the battery does surprise me a lot on this. I always want to take pictures but never end up having time to play around to get good at taking them. I see some pics from people and there's always turn out so nicely. I definitely should make time and play with the settings more because there are several cool tricks I've seen people pull off.

I guess I'll have to see more reviews about it before I decide if I'll search online for an unlocked version or not. I do really dig the G7 and the size is nice too. I did find the V30 a bit clunky at times so the 40 may be just as clunky if not more so depending on how well they made the bezels. I should check the dimensions I suppose

What about the Google font used on the Pixels?

Hi [MENTION=5098295]markbencze[/MENTION] I have just bought your "legacy" theme on Google Play, so far everything looks fine.

One question comes up though: could you put the Product Sans font currently used on Pixel devices since Android Oreo 8.1 in the theme?

Kind of weird that every Google app now uses that font, while LG is still using Roboto for system text and that weird LG font for lock screen widgets, etc.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Themes, Apps, and Mods] Negan:
