I guess you changed the wallpaper. The wallpaper picker in Kitkat is really not that great compared to JB.
Try changing wallpaper, or reset the same wallpaper without cropping (Pinching and zoom) much.

That a way out for sure but if any one can fix this then it would be good coz its not that its not working at all. its working without pinching while setting the wallpaper.

No, its not the problem with transparency, so no need to tweak using GravityBox. The Wallpaper picker in KK is kinda different. In ICS/JB, the wallpaper picker was like .. you can crop the wallpaper using a rectangular shape, which fits the entire homescreen pages. But in KK, in the picker, you need to select the area for your centre homescreen. (The stuff you select will be applied to the main homescreen). The problem however is mainly because of the widescreen landscape wallpapers which is in 16:9 aspect ratio, the bottom part would be cut off .. which would look like the status and nav bar becoming black. Try experimenting more, and you'll understand it.

But when I use trebuchet launcher and change wallpaper it's fine with it. I presume that trebuchet also uses kk wallpaper picker or is it the other way??

Sorry I don't use Trebuchet so no idea about it. I'm using Google Now Launcher and the picker is this way, when I used Stock Launcher too, this problem appeared. You may also try setting wallpaper from the Gallery, and see if that works. Maybe I need to try some launchers based on ICS/JB, but my best bet would be it uses the Kitkat picker only.
EDIT: Okay so I guess its the problem with Stock Launcher as it lets you to pinch out (Leaving black bars) while GNL won't allow. See screenshot

Tried with the gallery but not working with stock launcher.
As of now trebuchet is working fine. no issues with it.
Hope that is fixed in 4.4.3. I should ask to other member who has updated to 4.4.3 to confirm it.
And tnx for your help..

Hi there
When trying to apply a wallpaper (e.g. a picture taken with my SGS3 camera) to my homescreen I usually have to resize it via the gallery-app. But resizing lets the picture shrink to a default-form that does not cover my 5-homescreens. Therefore I always get some black bars on the right and the left side...
Any idea how I can fix this or how I can keep the gallery app from not resizing my pictures to the default-size that only seems to cover 1 homescreen?

Are u using any other launcher than TW? Or scrollable TW mod? one work around is using "gallery ICS" from market to set your wallpaper
Currently I'm using the Nova Launcher. Is this an issue? Will try to download the ICS Gallery and hope it works well with the Nova Launcher
***Update: Wow, it works. Gallery ICS can resize my pictures and they fit to my 5-Homescreen Nova Launcher.... GREAT!! Many thanks

:victory: The default gallery asks you to crop the picture since TW launcher does not support scrollable wallpapers. However its a problem with other launchers. You can either disable wallpaper scrolling in launcher settings or use this gallery to set full length scrollable wallpapers
New Xposed Mod: Custom Status Bar Opacity
This tiny mod makes the opacity of the status bar (when it is transparent in lock screen or launcher) easily configurable from the mod's UI without reboot. Notice that it will not change anything if the status bar is not transparent at all (e.g. in apps).
=> This helped me getting white status bar icons better readable on bright launcher backgrounds but as well lets you make the status bar permanently solid or fully transparent.
Limitations
Works only on HTC stock-based ROMs version 4.0.3 and higher using Sense launcher (simply does nothing on other devices)
You MUST accept that you use any modification at your own risk
If you want to try it, follow these steps:
If not done yet or included in your custom ROM, install the Xposed framework as described in this thread (requires root)
Install the attached APK and activate the module in the Xposed installer (this is also described in the framework thread)
Reboot
ChangeLog
Code:
[B]1.0[/B]
- Initial release
Hope you enjoy and let me know. Great thanks go to @rovo89 for this fabulous framework.
My Other Xposed Mods
All HTC and Samsung ROMs Android 4.0.3 and above
Smart Alarm Icon
Only shows the alarm icon in status bar a configurable time before next alarm
All HTC Sense 5 ROMs
BlinkFeed Back To Top
Enables the back button in BlinkFeed to fast scroll to top
All HTC ROMs Android 4.0.3 and above
Custom Status Bar Opacity

I'm afraid not with version 1.0 or a quick solution based on it. I'm currently working on bringing this to Samsung's TouchWiz with a more generic approach, which makes it very likely to be working in ADW launcher as well. But this may take a while, so please stay tuned.
By any chance making this mod for Galaxy note 2?

Transparency on TouchWiz status bar works differently. This is HTC specific, since it covers the Sense-specific switch between transparency in launcher and no transparency in apps. Certainly, it could be done for TouchWiz with not that big effort, but has low prio for me currently. However, I have a device running TouchWiz, so make myself a note to look into it sometime.
Works great ! thank you !

If you add some kind of option for a solid black status bar this would literally be the perfect mod.

Did you try to tap the mod in Xposed installer, which opens the mod preferences, and to slide the opacity slider completely to the left (0%). This will make your status bar solid black.

It only makes it solid black on the home screen and in the launcher, it reverts back to the gradient in apps.
It is working great and looks nice.

I know the wallpapers that come with the phone are full screen (status bar included)
Can we download more of these types?
I notice when I try a Jelly Bean wallpaper it brings back the black status bar. it kind of makes the screen look a bit smaller that way
There is a mod here somewhere here that let's you use any wallpaper

depending on the launcher you use it may also have an option to turn on transparent status bar.

Hello. Does anyone know how to resize the wallpaper ? I installed gravity box to remove softkeys, but the wallpaper act as if the button bar was still there. Can I resize the wallpaper in order to cover even that black bar on the bottom? Thank you

Hi,
If you're using a Nexus 5, try this:
1. Delete all the themes (/sdcard/MyColorScreen/Themer/ThemeCache).
2. Use Expanded Desktop mode.
3. Reapply the theme.
It should fit the wallpaper correctly, however we don't advise always having your soft keys hidden as Themer (as well as the themes themselves) work best on stock display settings.
Thank you for your fast answer, i've done as you adviced but the issue persists

How are you using the Expanded Desktop mode? Does applying new themes give you the same issue?
I've been using Themer with Expanded Desktop mode for a day now, using a few themes, and I've encountered no issues. Try various ways of using ED and one of them should work out

I'm using gravity box with extended desktop mode.
With the other themes the black bar is smaller but it's still there as you can see from the screenshots

Maybe uninstall Themer - delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder - then reinstall.
As mentioned, Themer is designed to work best on a stock layout, therefore getting it to work with adjusted display settings isn't recommended. Sorry for the inconvenience.
POCO Launcher is surprisingly simple and elegant — at least, for Xiaomi. It might look simple, but it packs in plenty of options, including things as detailed as different transition animations, sort of like Nova Launcher. The app drawer is accessible via a convenient and typical upward swipe, and apps are organized by type into categories like communication and entertainment.
The setup process is straightforward, and there are a surprising number of individual settings to explore, though it doesn't hold a candle to things like Nova Launcher when it comes to sheer customization options. Presumably, it's also in active development, so we should see more features landing soon.
Unfortunately, we can't download it over on the Play Store since the beta program registration is currently full. However, we can download it from APK Mirror .

I would like to see a dark theme in it... But all of MIUI has light theme..
I would have loved to see an option to resize the icons, did not find it through the setting so far, wonder if it is available yet.

It depends on the theme that you have installed in your MIUI-powered phone. For example "Geometry Black" that I have in my Mi5 is dark everywhere. In general, the default themes that xiaomi phone have are light-themed.
I don't know what is the similar theme for Poco and if this theme is compatible with it as I don't have it yet.

geometry black is available in themes and it tuns background o black for settings and all. The app drawer still stays white tough, which defeats its purpose. It more for MIUI & not optimised for "MIUI for POCO"
Just moved to Nova for a two reasons:
*no option to set grid sizes ( desktop and app drawer).
*Nova teslaUnread add on solves (at least temporary) lack of notification problem in notification bar.
*ability to change color/transparency of app drawer background.

By this do u mean the unread count badge on home page icons or does Nova give u notification in the status bar.
Even Poco gives unread badge just not the counts.

Yes, I meant badges and sadly is doesn't work properly for some apps. maybe I missed this option on poco launcher. But still grid adjustment is nesasary.
Yeah, it's great, but I would like to have 4 icons in a row with bigger icons, such as in iOS.
Also, some kind of live or scrollable wallpapers support would be nice.
Individual change of icons such as in Nova Launcher, too.

It's basically the same miui launcher with the added app drawer
its there a way to change the navigation bar color scheme, for some reason on dark apps the navigation bar below its all white its horrible
Something funny i noticed with Poco launcher.
Locking homescreen layout should mean no icon/widget can either be added to or removed from the homescreen.
But apparently, after you lock homescreen layout in settings, you can still add an app shortcut to the homescreen but you can't add a widget!
Just updated to latest Poco launcher,was the word on the header at the app drawer before?
No, it wasn't.
Did you update from PlayStore?
Post some impressions, please. Is it OK or is it buggy?
