Slight Darkening

---

Anyone notice this? At the top of screen, right under the Status Bar, there seems to be some intentional darkening.

I know it's not the screen, because it shows up in screen shots and if you drag the photo around down to the middle of your screen, the darkened horiztonal line still shows right under the status bar.

No a big deal really, but slightly annoying. Check the posted screen shots (anyone's) and then look at yours.

Why would they do that?

It most likely is a software issue. The Nexus S had screen issues that were corrected with a software update from Google. Once we get root we can use voodoo colors and set the screen color to our liking.

I think hes talking about the vertical lines everyone is discussing in the other thread. Its just the way the screens are. Some are more noticeable then others.

No it's a horizontal line and it's not a screen defect. It's definitely software related and I believe it only shows on the home screen and lock screen

Actually it shows anywhere the status bar or any type of header bar shows, like the orange bar on the top of the xda app. I think it was by design to have a shadow come from the top bar.

After looking at it,I completely agree with you. It definitely appears to have been intentional

Now that we've established that it's supposed to be there, I'm going back to my original criticism. Why would they do that? I don't like it.
