Android phones have evolved in terms of design. They haven\u2019t gone the iPhone route just yet but most modern phones have ditched physical navigation keys. Android phones now have soft navigation keys, three of them. The navigation keys reside on the navigation bar. Come Android O, you will be able to add a few extra keys to the navigation bar.\u00a0In its current state, Android doesn\u2019t let you customize the navigation bar at all. There are however apps that let you modify the navigation bar. WOW Navbars<\/strong> is a free Android app that lets you set a custom color for the navigation bar. By default, the navigation bar is black. The app lets you turn it pink, or purple, or blue. You do not need a rooted device to use\u00a0WOW Navbars.<\/p>\n

Install\u00a0WOW Navbars and launch the app. We should warn you now that the app is riddled with ads. Some apps don\u2019t push ads aggressively but this one does. An ad pops up whenever you switch screens. The good news is that the ads appear only inside the app and not outside it.<\/p>\n

Open\u00a0WOW Navbars and tap \u2018Change the color of the navigation bar\u2019. You might see an ad before or after tapping this option. Close it to proceed. The app gives you two options for setting a custom color for the navigation bar. You can go with a preset, or you can set any other color of your choice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To use a preset, tap one of the colors below the \u2018Set color\u2019 bar. The app will change the color of the navigation bar within the app itself so you can see how it looks.<\/p>\n

To set a custom color for the navigation bar, tap the \u2018Tap here to pick the colors\u2019 area. A color wheel will open. Select a color and make it as bright or as dark as you like. In both cases, you will see a preview of the color.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tap the \u2018Set Color\u2019 bar to apply\u00a0the change. No matter which app you\u2019re in, the navigation bar will always be the color you set it. There is only one exception; full screen apps. When you open a full screen app and swipe down, the navigation bar will be\u00a0a translucent black.<\/p>\n

In all other instances, it will be the color you set it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

WOW Navbar has two other features; you can customize the look of the soft keys, and you can use an image instead of a color for the navigation bar\u2019s background.<\/p>\n

The substitute soft key options are cartoonish. They\u2019re highly unlikely to make your device look any better. The image background option is a premium option and it\u2019s a bit of hard sell.<\/p>\n

Install WOW Navbar From The Google Play Store<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
