Customization of the taskbar

[lianergoist]

My tablet was recently upgraded to Android 13, and it introduced an big, grey line at the bottom of the screen. I asked Lenovo if it was possible to do anything (change colour, opacity, anything) and they said:

the color and transparency of the taskbar are determined by the Android system and Lenovo does not have control over these settings. However, you may try to use a third-party launcher from the Google Play Store that allows customization of the taskbar.

Fast Draw does not (allows customization of the taskbar), but it seems to be a quite good launcher I would like to use. Can and will you be able to do something to fix that ugly grey line?

How does the default launcher look? Does it look the same or is the bar transparent there? Do you maybe know of any launchers where the taskbar looks different or is configurable?

The default home screen look like this

If I swipe up, it look like this

If I open an app, it look like this. Note the icons in the gray line. If I remove the icons from the home screen, they also disappear from the line. But the line is still big and solid, and sometimes it is difficult to see the navigation buttons, because the are lighter than on this screenshot.

Thanks for the screenshots. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to change this. I'm not even sure third party launchers can do this.

Well, thank you for looking at it.
