Status bar does not return after disabling “Hide status bar” on Pixel 10 Pro Fold

Bug Reports

On a Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, the status bar remains hidden after turning the “Hide status bar” option back off.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Niagara Settings → Themes → Edit current theme → Global Settings.

  2. Enable “Hide status bar”.

  3. Return to the home screen. The status bar is hidden as expected.

  4. Go back to Global Settings and disable “Hide status bar”.

  5. Return to the home screen.

  6. The status bar remains hidden instead of becoming visible again.

Restarting Niagara was suggested as a troubleshooting step. The user is running the latest Niagara version available to them.

    One pattern that's easier to see across threads than inside one: five other reports describe the same setting drifting out of sync with what the screen shows, only in the opposite direction, where the bar comes back while "Hide status bar" is still on. Examples are Hide Status Bar Randomly Stops Working and status bar issue.

    All of them report the same temporary fix, restarting the launcher or toggling the option off and on, which is also what was suggested to this user. That makes it look like one state handling issue with two symptoms rather than a Pixel 10 Pro Fold specific one. Those five cover Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL and Galaxy S25, on the versions they name between v1.14.4 and v1.15.7.
