Grey tint on top of Black Wallpapers!!?? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Let me explain the issue. Whenever I apply a pure black wallpaper, it appears to be grey near the notification bar. I know this may be done intentionally by Samsung to make the notification icons more clear. But this tinting is not necessary when you have a black wallpaper. This shadowing is fine when using other wallpapers but really bugs me out when I see this on a black wallpaper.
Do you experience this too? If so, has someone found a solution to this?

Bump. Any info on a fix?

A temporary solution is to use Good Lock by SAMSUNG. You can disable Status bar dim background.

I have the same problem there is a grey tint around the notification bar or perhaps, is this a normal thing?

I've been using a black live wallpaper and its removed the tint from the homeacreen. I didn't have it on the lock screen. I'm rooted now so I'll see if there's a way to disable that tint via root.

[Q] What has caused my icons to change colour?

Can someone please explain why a lot of my icons have turned from radioactive green to a more mustard sort of colour? Icons in question include the ones in the notification "power bar", all check-boxes throughout the system and all the status icons in gtalk to name a few.
SGS2 is completely stock, haven't modded anything at all yet.
See the attached pic. All the icons used to be bright green like the GPS one but after turning them off and then back on again they are now the colour of the sound and auto-rotate icons. If I were to press GPS to turn it off and then turn it back on again it would be the same colour as the other two.
Probably a simple answer but I haven't encountered this in all my years of using Android.
Well the murky green colour spread to my battery status icon as well so I decided to reboot and now all my greens are back to the correct shade. Very weird.

Annoying tint on statusbar

This is bugging me for a while now. Everytime I put on a lighter wallpaper, I can see an annoying tint on the statusbar. Is there a way to just make it completely transparent?

Pop-up notification color

Does anyone know what controls the background color of the Pop-up notifications, also known as Heads Up notifications? Not the Samsung edge lighting pop-ups, but the regular Android Pie ones? Mine are an ugly yellow/brown color, and I'm not sure why or if I can change it. It doesn't seem to be affected by night mode or Samsung themes. Any ideas?

Have you already tried settings - lock screen - notifications?

Yes, that can change the transparency of these on the lock screen, which is great, I like them fully transparent, but none of the options there affect notifications while the screen is unlocked.
I realize some Samsung users may not see these, instead turning on the Edge Lighting option which captures these notifications and turns them into white bubbles that can open an app in a multi window. But those who don't use Edge Lighting, what color are your heads up notifications?
Googling about this just brings up hundreds of pages of instructions on how to block the heads up notifications, and nothing I can see about their appearance, so that's why I'm asking the forum here.
I would be curious to know if we can change this as well.
ANother thing I'd like to modify is their postion - why do they not start from the very top of the screen?
I dunno if you guys have figured it out or not but you can control the colors using QuickStar in Good Luck. BG color and font color of the heads up notification is the same as the Quickpanel colors. The only thing you gotta watch out for is that the panel BG alpha (or opacity) doesn't carry over to the heads up notification. So if you choose a white BG and set the opacity to 50% it will just be a 100% opaque white in the heads up notification.
PS: this website's mobile version is horrible.
