I was watching the announcement of the Xperia z5 today and I noticed that the official pictures of the phones would come with a interesting feature that I have never saw in Android before. The official launcher seems to adapt the colors of the status and menu bar to black and white depending of the colors of the wallpaper, similar to what happens when you put a clear wallpaper on an iPhone.
So I was curious to know if there is a way to simulate this feature today.

I hope so

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?

Does anyone know how to get rid of the clock in upper left motif bar? It overwrites notifications..
Can't find a way. Global MUI 10.2.2
Sent from my MI 8 Lite using Tapatalk
It's the way that it works. It shows the notifications some time and after change to the clock. There is some alternatives apps that bring the notifications and also other custom ROMs that change it. But there is not a way that I know that we can change it in MIUI stable or beta.
Does anyone know why after MIUI 11.0.5.0. update on Pocophone F1, Quick Function widget icons are completely unreadable, illegible ? Any option to change their design ? They all look the same with just a traces of what it shoud look like.
So now, I have these widgets on my screen, but light grey colour of the circle and light grey colour of signs inside the circle (for example for torch, wifi, mobile data, bluetooth,...) make them look the same. I should have eagle eyes to recognize which one is for which function.
Using Poco Launcher.
Anyone else with the same problem?
Same problem
Good morning.
This is my first Xiaomi and MIUI experience, and I have a question related to the Google Discovery in the Xiaomi stock launcher.
Is it normal that Google Discovery in Xiaomi Stock Launcher to be always White, even when Dark Mode is activated?
It isn't supposed to switch to dark mode?
Another thing in Xiaomi Launcher, the application drawer is supposed to switch between white or black depending the wallpaper we use regardless Dark Mode is activated or not?
Anyone can answer?
Is this behavior a normal thing to happen?
Have dark mode in all system, just the Google discovery feed, in the left side of the Miui Launcher still white as snow!
That makes no sense if it is normal to be white when all system is dark.
And wallpaper messes up with app draw background color, from white to black, if set to follow system colors and system is in clear mode?

Google feed for me is dark in dark mode. I can't comment on app drawer as I don't use it
So, I assume there's a problem with my MIUI Launcher, I already clean all data from Launcher and it's all the same.
White... In dark mode.
Does anyone have any suggestion, or know something to fix this behavior?
This just happened out of the box.
It came with MIUI 11 and updated to MIUI 12 immediately, so, don't know why this behavior and how to fix it.
I've already figured out how to activate Dark Mode on the Google Discovery feed in the MIUI Launcher.
It is necessary to restart the smartphone or for example change the icon pack or theme to change it, otherwise it will not change the actual state.
