After i got my Fairphone back from the repaircenter (they thought there was something wrong with it), they told me it was an intended design. However, i see other people mention they don’t have it.

Maybe it’s to improve notification bar visibility?
That is what Fairphone said. But then, why do i have it and others don’t? And why does this happen when i’m using a fully black wallpaper? It should be visible enough already…
@PixelOrange@lemmy.world got it mostly right from my research, though their backgrounds will still have that bar. If you use a black, or near black, background, especially one not at your native resolution, that gradient will be most noticeable. Using other backgrounds that do not have a black strip along the top you might still be able to see it if you squint.
For those of you curious: Change your background to a solid black from the background menu in settings, or grab something similar elsewhere. Then crank your brightness up. Chances are it’ll be there for you too if you’re not running a third party launcher.
I haven’t found a way to turn it off in native yet.
Yep. I’ve seen it happen in brighter backgrounds too: but instead the fade will be a little darker (it does not happen on a white only wallpaper tho…) I was afraid it was an actual “feature”, and this all kinda comfirms it. For now, a launcher will be the only “fix”.
