I have no idea why this works as it does, but it does.
If you use Rom Toolbox, go to buildprops and set you LCD Density to 170, the HC status bar at the bottom will disappear and you'll get the GB drag down status bar at the top.
I know, weird right? This may be a help to those of you who hate the HC status bar being right where your palm hits it if you are writing with a stylus.
* I've noticed setting it to pretty much anything over 160 gets you the GB Status Bar. 170 is an odd size and it may cause problems with things like Gmail. If it does, try more standard sizes like 180 or 190.
Confirmed I cannot get Gmail to work with any size other than 160. If you are a Gmail user this trick may not be for you. I am not so it isn't an issue.
I think changing the density to a value above 160 ceases to make it a tablet in some apps eyes. Have you tried clearing the data on gmail to see if it works?

Is it possible to move the notifications to the bottom of the pulldown instead of the top? We have this beautiful 4.3 size screen and pulling down to pretty much the bottom of the screen is a pain at times. I occasionally like to pull the notification bar down halfway just to see what a portion of the message says to decide if I want to read it now or later.
We have ways to change it's color, add/remove graphics to it, change how it looks completely but do have a way to change the display order? Also I'd like to be able to delete messages from the pulldown too if that's even possible. I mean actually delete them from the phone not just clear them from the list. This may be a completely ridiculous request but I hope it is actually possible to do.
While I can see your side of this, I'm going to assume it would be a pretty big pain to incorporate all the features you are requesting.
I'm running stock GB update with no moods, unrooted. It seems as though ADW is having some glitches with my quick contacts. I have 8 of them set up on a homescreen in their smallest form 1x1. Sometimes when I run an app or the phone goes to sleep, when I look at the screen again the contacts icons are slightly enlarged with a grey bar along the bottom with two dark grey thumbnail like buttons. When I press the contact, instead of quick dialing like I have them set for, it brings up the copntact menu for text, email, or call. Anyone having this issue or know what the cause may be? Any help appreciated.

I'm pretty sure this is the wrong section since this is an app, not atrix specific
So I've changed resolution to get better battery battery life (1080x1920 530 DPI) and I've noticed some things have not adhered to the new resolution. Specificallly, the lock screen. The circle clock is flattened into an oval and none of my shortcuts are there. Has anyone found a fix for this?
Have you tried using the Xposed module "app settings?" I'm going to try out some other DPI settings, but I plan on leaving the resolution alone.

I have played with it some, however I'm not sure what to adjust to change the lockscreen appearance.
Usually for the lockscreen you'll need to adjust systemUI

I had already tried that to no avail, tried again and rebooted with no result. However I did notice that the trick seems to be in the Screen (dp) option, however it doesn't give an option for my resolution. Its effect can clearly be seen on the lockscreen and on the Qslide buttons. The Qslide buttons have an odd gray background and the lockscreen circle is even more squashed.
If you have played with dpi on any of the LG phones, you already know a couple things about the limitations
Basically, LG apps can open with as low as 530 dpi with the exception of the Camera (FC when zooming in fully) and the second screen. Many people opt to install texdroider to lower overall dpi while keeping the essential LG apps at the minimum of 530 with AppSettings in order to avoid multiple force closes.
The question is now on the second screen - the second screen is a bit tricky because the "com.lge.miniclock.font.default" will force close on anything lower than 640. The result, when you keep this at 640 while changing everything else to a lower dpi, is a bigger clock font on the second screen when the main screen is off - bigger relative to the weather,date, AM/PM indicator, and the battery icon. (MON 25 8:44 AM)
I currently have my phone at 530 dpi without any issues - but the weird thing is that the font size appears normal at the immediate moment when I lock the phone, then after a few seconds, it becomes bigger again. I'd post a screenshot if I could figure out a way to do so.
Anyone have a fix for this, by chance?
I just deleted the app in titanium backup AND removed the icon from the second screen options

Did you mean deleting "com.lge.miniclock.font.default" or just deleting the second screen app and not using it at all?
I uninstalled the miniclock app. Then removed the clock icon from the second screen "options" and replaced the clock icon with any other app so the secondary screen is not looking for that app in particular. I run the system at 480 dpi. All LG apps were set to 640
You may be able to just freeze miniclock to do the same thing.

I apologize but I'm not quite sure if I follow - how do I access the "options" for date&time when the main screen is off? What app are you using to replace that 8:44 text?
The mini clock is only for the second screen. The lockscreen clock works fine . I run my dpi at 480 by the way

I think we're talking about two separate things. I'm only talking about the second screen when main screen is off.
You had mentioned that you uninstalled "com.lge.miniclock.font.default", at which point you "removed the clock icon from the second screen options and replaced the clock icon with any other app so the secondary screen is not looking for that app in particular."
I suppose my first question is... what clock icon? When main screen is off, my second screen shows "MON 25 8:44 AM" and the only existing icon is the weather icon to the left. The clock (8:44 in this case) is simply a text - of which my problem is that it's relatively a bigger font size than the rest of the text.
Secondly, how are you able to access the second screen "options" for when the main screen is off? The only option accessible seems to be for the signature, and not the Date&Time. http://www.androidcentral.com/sites/androidcentral.com/files/styles/larger/public/article_images/2015/11/V10_second-screen-settings-MAIN.png?itok=pj9kNJfy
Oddly enough, freezing "com.lge.miniclock.font.default" doesn't seem to actually do anything. Even after restarting, the phone still displays the same on the second screen when main screen is off.
This is all I did.
1. Remove/delete/uninstall the mini clock app using titanium.
2. Go to second screen settings for shortcuts. The analog clock was removed from the shortcut options.
3. I added camera and my browser as shortcut options.
4. I Turn second screen off when the screen is off. I only have the second screen active when the screen is on
Reboot.
Then apply dpi in app settings to system and Android UI to 480. All LG apps set to 640. Adjust other apps to preference.
Reboot.
FWIW LG apps can go down to 527dpi which I believe is small enough to have it universally set for all apps. I have my phone set at 527dpi, and minifont deleted. The only app I have changed with App Settings is the camera which needs to be on 640dpi
Can I still set the overall dpi to 540, and all LG app to 640 without the need of deleting the mini clock but switch off the second screen when the main screen is off?
Yep... Backed up mini clock then uninstalled it. Reboot... Used Texdroider_dpi and changed dpi to 540... Reboot... Works with no FC issues. Second screen works also. Lg apps work fine with Dpi set at 540. Looks great with more screen real estate. ???? thanks to all developers working so hard! U guys rock...
Any way for dpi change for h960a?
On the S6, when I swipe down from the top of the screen, the giant notification window shows up. This is marginally annoying normally since my home page background is 14% neutral gray, but EXTREMELY annoying at night when I'm reading on the tablet and accidentally cause the notifications to display... My bookreader is a dark-mode setup, and the notifications are blinding white when they display (yes, the screen brightness is about 10-12, but compared to the reader it's blinding)...
I've currently got the tablet in Night mode, which makes the giant notification thing black, so it's not as annoying, but it still keeps getting displayed 'cause of hand position and tablet orientation. And Night mode isn't great for "normal" use so I much prefer something that'll actually help with the notification display.
SO....
Is there a way, even if I have to use a different launcher (I'll need to know which one) to CHANGE the background color of the notification thing (and hopefully the navigation bar background)? I tried Nova Launcher, and it has things that SEEM like they should do something, but they don't change the huge white blob that appears when I swipe down.
Is there a way to CHANGE how notifications get displayed - turn OFF the swipe down from the top of the screen and use something else? If so, how do I set this up? "Do Not Disturb" mode doesn't seem to help.
Is there a way to COMPLETELY turn OFF notifications so swiping does nothing. I can't FIND anything in settings, but I figure I'm missing the "turn off notifications" switch.
I'm also interested in what answers may come. For me it's just about the color; even though I'm dark-themed everywhere using "Swift Installer - Themes & color engine", it doesn't theme the notification panel. Since the theme works everywhere else (even on system apps), this makes me think that 'notifications' is a special case, for some reason.
Curious to hear from others.
Have you tried QuickStar inside of GoodLock app from the Samsung Store? there are lots of mods you can do in there like change the color of the notification pull down.
Thanks. That works pretty well. I can change all the colors on the notification so at least the notification is a black background.
Status bar at the bottom is still bright but that's smaller than the big notification thing. Definitely makes me miss the old Android 6 thing where it just put a couple tiny icons at the top and I had to specifically hit them to see notifications. Never accidentally opened the notifications.
Is there any way to CHANGE the activation for the notifications so they DON'T show up when I don't want them to?
