soft key update please

Hi, i would like to suggest to sony to change their black soft keys into transparent soft keys because it eats a lot of space on the screen.. . 5.2 inches screen is not worth it if you dont change it or enable to hide it . thank you.

Thank you for your feedback. I will forward this internally. However, I think that it would be very hard to see the buttons if they were transparent, and as far as I know it is possible to hide them in apps - making more space available when you need it.

Best regards,

You can't do this by yourself, it's activated by default in apps that support immersive mode. Try for example using Album application on your Xperia, you'll find the soft keys and notification bar melding then disappearing leaving the whole screen space to Album app. A lot of full screen apps support this, but it's not Sony to enable it in 3rd party apps, it's the developer's work.
