Or is it removable, changeable somehow? This OS7 is so bland looking.

That strip is the dock where you can park your most important apps. It can't be removed, but it does change colour based on the colouring of your wallpaper.Or is it removable, changeable somehow? This OS7 is so bland looking.
It stays pretty much a flat gray bar no matter what wallpaper I use. Geez, how hard would it have been to have an invisible option? Just another thing on my lists of dislikes for OS7. The list that continues to grow by the day.
That's really sad if you cannot get the colour changed. This is puzzling as my 'aurora bolearis' wallpaper is excellent. Soft on the eye with a light green bar. BTW I am using iPad 3, Wi-Fi only, 32gb with IOS 7.0.2It stays pretty much a flat gray bar no matter what wallpaper I use. Geez, how hard would it have been to have an invisible option?

Thanks for the KB tip. I just tried a nice long email and it seems much more responsive.I get much better keyboard response with auto-correction turned off. Yes, I have to type a little more (capitalize that "I" for example) but that small inconvenience more than offsets the missed characters from a sluggish keyboard.

Must admit, I have never noticed this. Only to say that I have the green aurora bolearis background. This seems to make my apps stand out better and softer on the eye. Probably a little bit of experimentation with the wallpaper and backgrounds would be beneficial. Besides, it is fun.

Good to know my old eyes aren't playing tricks! Nice to know you like it too, Diane. I also used to use the water droplets. Great minds eh? (or in my case not so great).i have Aurora borealis as home screen too and used one of my macro shots for lock screen. The AB is very good behind app folders IMO. Tried a number before settling on this one. Used water drop for 4 years in both of ipads, 1 and 3 to keep relatively plain behind apps.
But grey's not a bad colour is it? Here's my wallpaper, with a somewhat scungy green bar, but it's not too bad, I think
The reason it's got that green tint is because the colour of the bar is an averaging mix of the wallpaper colours. Why don't you try out a predominantly blue or pink, whatever wallpaper? Just to see if you like that bar now? You may even remove that from your list of dislikes, d'you think?
I suppose that bar, of whatever colour, is to differentiate the permanent system apps from your downloaded apps.
