Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Hey peeps! How's everyone on this lovely afternoon!

Been wondering if anyone can help me out with something. I'm trying to match my softkeys with the same color as the clock in the notification bar. That's such a nice blue!

This screenie shows the little circle on the bottom of the notification bar so that you can see how different it is from the softkeys. Does anyone know what that color is? The Hex code?

I can't quite get it.

:(

How did you get around that 'unhandled exception' error with that app?

so nice to check in with my android family! i just left the christmas celebration with my extended family where i was surrounded by 11 iphones. 11!! :eek:

the only androids in the room were my GNex and my old Thunderbolt which my sister is now using. at least i got to see them all ooh and ahh over my screen and recoil in horror as i demonstrated that we DO, in fact, have voice commands. :cool:

Hey Han, how did you get your battery meter to change like that? Seems like it would be much more accurate than the stock meter.

PS. Hello everyone! Merry Christmas. :D Just for kicks, I decided to see how quickly I could run down my battery if I really tried - playing a game and surfing the web simultaneously nonstop got to 4% in about 5 hours. Not bad, I guess; I could kill my OG Droid in a couple hours as well. Anyone else tried this?

I do it every day. I run Phandroid, hanging with friends, words with friends, text quite often and use the browser. I get about 5 hours on a normal day.
I'm gonna try taking the first three of those off one day to make sure that is the cause.

Actually, I think it's the right color, but not as bright maybe? I think the softkey area has like a layer over it or something that darkens the colors.

Also, for some reason, the settings button on the notification bar has switched places, and my notifications are now tiny little icons that I can barely see (it didn't happen with this latest davlik cache wipe/install; it happened a few experiments ago).

[MOD] [OVER 50]1%W/wo 4or5SoftKey Mod W/WO colors [ZYGOT3v1.8 compatibl] - RootzWiki

On this site there are a couple of softkey mods that have the "speedo battery" option.

I went with a 3 key this time. I think I prefer ICS's icons over anything else. I'm using ADW Launcher, which for some reason brings up the "menu" 3-dot icon on the home screen, but I decided to make that menu button invisible so that it doesn't cause an "imbalance".

Yeah, I'm that picky. :eek:
