This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Hey man, I know this is a rant, but in case you didn't know there should be a setting to resize things to make a black bar at the top. Google it for your phone, but for samsung it's something like "full sceeen apps".

That seems like a weird thing to want. You'll have less screen space because the notification area is now using your useable screen area instead of being up in the unusable dead space.

Not actually how it works. There's two options. One of them has the notifications in the "dead space", but the content never gets eaten up.

I wouldn't use this myself. Most apps are designed so content fits underneath the camera hole so nothing gets eaten, and even if it does get eaten, the camera is so small that it's not an issue for me

Edit: this is what you have to enable, by the way.
Android menu: "Display cutout", with the "Render apps below cutout area" option enabled
