Has anyone had any luck getting transparent navbar working on 3rd party launchers (Nova, action, pixel, etc) on MIUI?

Hi. I use Total Launcher, which is highly customizable. It allows you to make the navbar background transparent. Initially, when I set up the launcher, the navbar had a milky white background which was pretty ugly. But in the Total Launcher settings you can make it any color and control its opacity. It does take a little work to get things right but it is worth the effort.
Under Settings > Additional Settings > Buttons
Enable 'screen buttons can be hidden'
This should make the navbar transparent

I have no idea why it didn't work in the past, maybe because I already had Nova installed vs changing this setting and then installing Nova? Not sure but it definitely is transparent now. Thanks again guys!

Lets see you Epic Desk tops. This is with:'ADW Launcher', and 'Beautiful widgets' with 'AirportOne' Skin.
Here's mine
Using manups text icons and launcherPro. Beautiful widgets small home for clock and set status bar to auto hide. New texts and email alerts show up on a counter above the text icons.
New baby so she is the featured wallpaper and mini icons right now.

Great pic. Would Manup's latest theme work? or do you have to wait for device specific builds?

When you do the 'swipe up action again the App Drawer Icon will be there. It's like a toggle.

Meh, I guess thats ok, but it kind of defeats the purpose of the whole glassy look of the launcher.

plz let me knw its an updation problm,,,or what,,,
thnx
Are you using any wallpaper app? If yes then stop that & use some image stored on your phone as your wallpaper. Do this & might see the transparent bar.
If you are using some custom launcher like Nova instead of stock Xperia launcher, you'll have to enable transparent notification & status bar from 'Look & feel' in Nova settings.

Cool. Try to use thanks button to say thanks wherever possible. It reduces the number of unneeded posts which are just saying "thanks". It helps to keep the threads shorter.
There are any posibility to have 5 icons row with the stock launcher? (like Nexus 6P, same resolution and screen size phone)
Thanks!

If you have Xposed, you can use XGels to accomplish that.

I dont want root the phone.. buy may be is the only way
You can try downloading Nova Launcher from the play store (or another launcher if you prefer, but Nova is often regarded as the best). It's not the stock launcher but it is very feature rich and runs like a charm. The only thing you'd be missing from the stock launcher is swiping left to Google Now, but there's a million and a half other ways to use a shortcut for Google Now. I personally don't miss it much.
Anyway, now that I've gone off on a tangent, yeah Nova Launcher let's you customize the grid layout of your home screen. I use 5 columns (like the 6P) and it really is great.
As the rest mentioned your only two possibilities are to root your phone and install xposed then use something like XGels or GravityBox or Install a custom launcher. Your best bet for custom launcher would have to be Nova Launcher as it's the closest to stock. You can even set up vertical scrolling. I'm rooted and my launcher of choice is Nova Launcher. Trust me Google Now is not as good as you might think.

Did you update the Google launcher? I seem to have it, not sure if its a feature of the ROM I am on or not which is why I am asking if you updated your Google launcher app.
yes, i have the last version, but no 5 icons in a row...
nice clock/weather widget, what is it?

I even changed roms, and I still have 5 icon rows...so I guess it could be the rom
Go Weather Ex, I am not a fan of them usually (due to their ads) but I couldn't pass it up...and its free.
I use Apex Launcher and can customize it many different ways.

What number are you on? I'm on 560 DPI
Not sure how many places i've answered this question, but anyway...
- Remove LauncherConfig, which is locking rows to 4 icons from /system/app
- Reboot
- Wipe data on Google App
- Go to home screen
- You now have 5 icons per row
No need to use another launcher or Xposed apps or DPI changes if you're rooted and want to use GNL with 5 icon rows, as it should be.
It's incredibly dumb how Motorola is setting Google's launcher up that way with a phone that has a large display.
This works on Marshmallow too.
Thanks. This worked with out an issue.
Omg have hey still not changed this by default yet ?

If you're rooted, why not just use this command in terminal?
pm disable com.motorola.launcherconfig
I haven't used it, but don't see why it wouldn't work. Also avoids any modification to system partition.
Dear,
Under MM, if you want to use Google Launcher instead of the welcome Huawei, or Huawei Launcher, download Launcher Google Now and go to applications, and parameters and finally advances parameters and application use by default, and pitch Google Apps, and enjoy the result.

Did you manage to get the App icons uncluttered like in stock android with Google now launcher?
I still have these ugly borders and backgrounds... Even if I use the purev3.hwt theme. It only works on huawei launcher..

I'm running Google Now Launcher, and no, I'm stuck with the hideous icons, too. As much as I like the customization option on the P8lite, it'd would've been nice to have the option to use default app icons (as in, the icons that apps show on their play store page).
Does everyone else has black background under the on-screen buttons and notification bar doesn't blend with the whole launcher? I mean app is not immersive (fullscreen)

Edit the OP than with the recommendation changed from Google Now launcher to Nova.
Nova is great especially if you want a really good stock android experience. Settings are limitless and probably one of the best launchers out there

on android MM go to settings ->Apps ->advanced(the little gear bellow) -> default app settings-> launcher
Didn't see the solution
on my smartphone google launcher works without any problem, set as default. It need to be set manually in settings, but then it is fully working.

You can also use NOVA launcher. the icons there are the stock icons, without the ugly huawei borders ^^
On my Pixel 5 the behaviour with third party launchers (tried Nova and Microsoft) is terrible. If I swipe up to go home then often the launcher has to seemingly redraw/refresh before I can do anything. If I use three button nav there is no issue. It's annoying as I hate being stuck with the search bar and 'at a glance' weather in the standard launcher, but much prefer gesture nav.
Is this a common thing or anyone got any ideas to fix?

You are welcome to try this if all you want is "at a glance weather" and search bar gone on standard launcher. However, you cannot use the space vacated by the weather. This is as high as you can go.
If you root your device, I'd suggest using the 3 button navigation, then remove it using Tusladiver's mod and then using FNG navigation, its customizable and a lot better then google's implementation I think.
Using Nova launcher, I noticed if I chose another animation, under "Look and feel", then "app animation" the blank refresh went away. I just chose zoom.
EDIT: It started again. But, not as much

I love microsoft launcher. I had the same issue with the redraw. I set it to only a single row on the nav bar and it seems to have to figure it. It's almost like the launcher was fighting with the OS for swipe up control.
