My browser works just fine. First, when I asked Faterson which screenshot he was referring to, he had not yet posted the link that only went to the specific post. The link he posted went to the ENTIRE page and he had multiple posts on that page in which he posted screenshots. Second, from the very beginning he was talking specifically about "3 Android buttons" and the initial links he posted went to a screenshot that had no buttons (just a black bar). But other screenshots on that page did have buttons. So there was immediately a disconnect between what he wrote and his initial links.

I was never questioning the number or type of buttons he was seeing. Rather their state. What he was actually referring to when he said "3 Android buttons" was this:

But when he wrote "3 Android buttons" this is precisely what I thought he was talking about:

And the second image is what I was referring to when I said "what MOST people would consider the software buttons on an Android screen" ... in other words, buttons that are in their visible state, not barely perceptible. I know I used a different screenshot in my previous post, but I just grabbed what was quickly available on the web at the time to show visible software buttons. The second image was actually cropped from a screenshot Faterson did post on the page he linked to in this thread (hence, the confusion as to what screenshot he was referring to when talking about "3 Android buttons").

I do believe MOST people would not consider the first screenshot to be representative of "3 Android buttons" ... but rather the second one.

It was only later in my conversation with Faterson that I realized we were talking about 2 different things. Given that disconnnect, a lot of the discussion between Faterson and me is actually "moot" as I already pointed out. And so are many of your comments, DoctorOhh. For example, no, my device does not perform exactly as Faterson would like.

but this "ugly, massive black bar" is obviously a pet peeve of his so why do you continue poking him? ... At this point in the thread I have to believe you are trolling him for fun, it might be time to move along and let him stew in his anticipation of getting the Kitkat update.
To be honest, I thought Faterson was trolling the forum. Because:

1) The "3 Android buttons" in their visible state that I thought he was complaining about do not appear in the Nexus 7 when using Moon+ in reading mode. So I believed he was complaining just to complain.

2) The black bar he complained about from an aesthetic point of view will essentially still be there with KitKat because his Nexus device is black. So with immersion, instead of this ...

... he will be seeing this:

Can anyone in their right mind seriously state there is a big aesthetic difference between the last two images? Complaining just to complain and making a mountain out of a molehill is classic trollish behavior.
