I don't think my disabled pixels (#000000) are boring. using it for 4 years on all devices. however I'd like to get rid of white navigation pill and also qpr1 broke systemui tunner ability to hide clock and battery. I used to hide vpn key via adb (for full immersive mode except navigation pill) but stopped so only permanent VPN key and temporary notifications icons were there... again, before qpr1. now I'm have to observe clock and battery...
ah and about icons on home screen, in dock only shortcut to all apps in settings (I disable/enable what I need), messenger and vanadium. I love that minimalist setup. nothing districts my attention.
p.s. now I use app pinning for vanadium for immersive mode (hides everything in status bar, even vpn key, only navigation pill stays, which I'm waiting corporates will get rid eventually, because how long so they think people need that white line hint to learn gestures in 21th century?)
