I 've got some sort of a pen like , round icon on the home screen of my Pixel 6. It only function seems to be to turn the screen from color to black and white and then back to color again. It's useless to me. Any idea how to get rid of it?
That is in accessibility settings.
So it is. Thank you very much!

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.
Ey! First time making a post. Actually, first time going on to these forums.
Really quick question. Is it possible to somehow customise the "Simulate Colour Space"?
What I'm interested to do is to pretty much replace (tint) the colours on screen with green and black.
• Green replaces black.
• Black replaces white.
Or vice versa.
So how I think this should work:
1) Set the "Simulate Colour Space" to "monochrome"
2) Somehow tamper with the settings to make the monochrome change colours (just like the other options).
The big question is - Is it even possible?
Thanks in advance!
the top of my screen where the battery indicter and all that is.... is all black I don't know how it got this way and I can't fix it. I looked all over google and no answer. Here is a screen shot of my phone to show you what I'm talking about.

nermind I figured it out.. thanx. The fix was to go into my Nova launcher settings, under look and feel and disable transparent status bar and that did the trick.
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.
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?
