That's crap.

But I don't want screen burn-in. I get that on my G4 a lot.

I've never had burn in before. If you a black navbar, just download the navbar app i suggested earlier (once your phone is updated)

Thanks for this, I used the new hidden navigation bar for half a day and decided it's inconvenient having to swipe up the whole time.

I installed the 32 DPI bar and it looks like it was always supposed to be like that, there is no good reason the navigation bar had to be that huge by default.

I installed the 30 DPI one. And agree, it's like it was just supposed to be this big

Did you also find the bright white navbar a surprise after upgrade?

Yes but then I couldn't remember if it was always like that.

Installed the Navbar Apps and made it black again.

Edit: There is also a 28 DPI one on XDA, it's then about the same size as the notification bar.

Weird, my settings page looks different. I also have the newest VC update, but I only have light colours to select?

I installed the 30 DPI Nav bar. Not all apps make full use of the bigger screen.

I beg to differ.

Is your screen resolution 2960x1440?

Is your screen resolution 2960x1440?

No, but when I changed it, the result was the same. Even after reboot. It was on 2220x1080.

Press the recents button on the navigation bar and press the button that stretches the app to full screen.

you seem to be a bit confused. that screenshot of yours IS the new layout, and the new update does NOT have black as a colour... hence navbar apps
piesangs screenshot is pre-update.

Ok, found it. Thanks.
