Description

Welcome to the dark side!!! See bottom of description for Light Notification Patches!!!

No computers, no additional apps to apply it, no worrying about what to do if you reboot your phone!

This is Pixel Experience, an LG Home+ theme for your LG V40 running Android 9 only!!! This theme is a premium quality theme like no other Home theme+. What you see is what you get and that is quality and attention to details! Unlike any other Home theme+ you will get some third party additions!
No need to run a third party theme system any more, just use the system theme chooser and you can enjoy all the benefits of an advanced theme system.

This theme has unlocked features that were previously locked on some devices. Features such as swipe right on home screen to activate Google now! Adaptive and dynamic icons are retained as well as the ability to choose more icon shape options! I do recommend that you select the circular icon shapes as it seems to jive nicely with the theme.

This theme includes mostly stock iconography but if you'd like to have that true pixel experience just use the rootless pixel 3 launcher or nova, etc! This was intentionally done to allow those who prefer the stock icons to have that choice.

Since this theme pushes the boundaries of the LG Theme system it retains adaptive and dynamic icons on stock launcher. Due to this you will have to select your navbar color in settings, display, home touch buttons. By default it may show you have selected the dark option, but the navbar may still be white. Simply select the white and then select the dark one again and you should be set. It's a bit odd but that's just how it has to work. Unfortunately there is one app that does not show the navbar as being dark which is the LG Music app. it demands to stay white due to this.

To apply the theme simply go into settings/display and select themes. From there select Pixel Experience Dark, and push apply! You will notice on the first preview it has a banner on it telling you to reboot after applying the theme! That is to allow the notifications to look as advertised. For whatever reason the device needs a reboot to fully take effect.

That's it! Simple, easy and quick.

Please note that refunds will not be given for installations on non LG V40 Devices. As the title of the theme clearly indicates which device this is for.
This theme is also meant to run at the highest resolution. Lowering your screen resolution may cause some elements to not look right. If you encounter that, simply increase your screen resolution.

If you run into any issues please send me an email directly instead of leaving a poor rating. Often I am very quick to reply (unless I'm sleeping and you're in a different time zone) and great to solve any issues. The review system is not meant to be a support channel!

Quick tip... Search and install the app "Quick Shortcut Maker" on google play. Install, then long press on your home screen and select the 1x1 quick shortcut maker widget and drag it on your home screen. Then in the activities tab, scroll down until you see "wallpaper & themes" and expand it. then touch the first option at the top of the list that doesn't have and upwards arrow. Then hit the "Create" button at the bottom and now you have a themes app shortcut you can place on your desktop!!!

Thank you for your support and enjoy theme!!!

For those who experience readability from some third party apps I have made optional patches for this. Some third party apps force black text on notifications which cannot be adjusted so for those who have issues with this I have a patch fix. Please see this thread and post for instructions on how to apply it. It takes only about 2 minutes at most to apply. https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/themes/mark-bencze-premium-themes-support-t3874832/post78322673#post78322673

5 ★ five stars now. After reading the comments and the description i found that can change the notification to white and boooya!!!! thats the only issue I had, I couldn't read the notifications when it had black text black. Also you should add on your description that it works for the LG V35 cuz thats what im using it on and it works perfectly fine.

5 ★ Very nice, a steal at this price. Using with Nova for the 9.0-style home touch bar and dark settings/notifications/keyboard mostly. Only thing I would like to see is a way to make the area above the notification/ quick toggle shade grey instead of black, looks slightly out of place.

5 ★ After update to Pie yesterday, it stopped working on my AT&T V35 due to a minor discrepancy in LG UX versions. Mark was very helpful in solving my issue. If you own a V35 and update to Pie, be advised - you will want to use the G7 version going forward.

3 ★ Still needs some work, pulling down notification bar doesn't always have lined up icons, I wish the dark was actually black to actually save me some battery. In all I think it is a bit nicer than the stock theme but considering I paid money for it I'm not all that impressed.

4 ★ I love the way this theme works on my V40 but I wish notification theming was optional as it looks pretty terrible on some notifications and detracts from the whole theme (namely Messages and Gmail notifications). Looking forward to a light theme to fix these issues.

5 ★ This theme is amazing. Mark is the only person to create the full theme including the notification shade and most apps. It works flawlessly for the V40. You will not be disappointed.

5 ★ Great theme. Works awesome until you upgrade to Pie, then it's useless. Dev, thanks for the update! Yeah I just got Pie myself and I do love your dark theme. Thank you for the work you do!

5 ★ the dark theme is cool i like it alot. I thought there was a problem with the notification with white background but there was no problem forgot to reboot now all is well customer service was prompt great app if you have v40.

4 ★ Just installed and loving it already. Question - some notifications pop up with no text - only notifications that pop in dark mode / most others do come white and readable. Any suggestions? Its still a great app - worth every penny.

4 ★ Really like this theme, however the clock icon is ugly. I'd prefer the original LG clock icon or a modified Pixel clock icon. Minor quibble, otherwise, looks great on my V40 running Android 9. Great job, Mark 👍

4 ★ Works as described. So far the only notification I haven't seen work properly is AccuWeather drop down. Other than that, having the dark notifications is all I've been looking for, so 👍👍👍👍

5 ★ Using an LG STYLO 4. Works like a charm. The light notification is easy to install and fix. Great attention to detail. 5/5 👍

5 ★ Amazing theme!!!! Mark without a doubt makes the best themes for LG phones..Buying an LG phone is easier knowing he will come up with a great theme. Thx for the hard work it is much appreciated 🙌🏻👊🏻

5 ★ please remove the white square background on notifications. also sometimes notification subtext is black. please make it lighter. edit: that worked, thank you!

5 ★ Dev, could you please make this a true black theme instead of dark grey? it really looks awful at night time on less than 15% brightness as the V40 is a P OLED screen which makes it look awful.
