Alright, need some help with some phone customization help guys. I've been playing a lot with different Launchers and having fun with them, but I'm getting a recurring problem:

The three buttons at the bottom always have a black bar behind it, and that also seems to happen with the bar up top.

The Google Play launcher spoils me with these transparent pieces. Does anyone know of a good launcher that would give me the option to do just that?

Also, posting my homescreen / lockscreen. Running with a Google Play HTC M8.
