Making the Navigation buttons transparent

[thron]

On the lock screen, the navigation bar is transparent. Once unlocked, the bar goes back to solid.
Is there a way to retain the transparency?

In short, no. You either hide it or have it onscreen.

A transparent navigation bar would cause UI issues as it would overlap with any app controls on the bottom.

Aw bummer. Thanks for the explanation.

It will look awful. But making action centre transparent is a good idea

I second the latter!

The level of transparency on the lockscreen navigation buttons isn't 100%, it's just enough that you can still see the background color and just enough of the buttons as to make the screen feel larger.

I agree with you on this. I also miss having the option to have the nav bar always black, regardless of dark or light theme.

Mine is always black, so I'm not sure what you mean.

When you set the theme to light/white the navigation bar turns pale white, there's no option to force it to stay black/dark.

You can make it black by selecting black colour theme on light background (set the navigation bar to match accent)

It would be nice if they implement touch responsive button on navigation bar as android lollipop

That's good to know, but I like to use light/bright wallpapers. I'm curious to try it though.
