In my toy (for now) app, my top few layers of view tree (or do we call them composition trees?) look like: • Pager4Theme ◦ MainScreen (mine) ▪︎ Scaffold • NaveHost But the bar across the top is the ugly dark purple. How do I change that? I tried changing variations of the stubbed in primary, primaryVariant, and secondary in my Theme, but to no avail. Then I discovered that I could change it by changing the singular stubbed value in themes.xml. Is this just one of those things that is still done outside of Compose, using the "stable" Android mechanisms?

Yes, I would recommend going edge to edge with a transparent status bar

So... I added a "clear" color to my colors.xml

<color name="clear">#00000000</color>

And then changed the stubbed theme to use that. Now it's just white with no visible text. Is there something I now need to do in my compose code to countermand that?

There is a bit more configuration https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/layout/edge-to-edge
