Hi @ElSeniorMikael, To customize the behavior of the bottom bar in your React Native app, you can make it transparent or change its color by adding these lines to your AppTheme in res/values/styles.xml:

<item name="android:windowTranslucentNavigation">true</item>

or

<item name="android:navigationBarColor">#FF0000</item>

Use the first line to make the bottom bar transparent or the second one to change its color. Let me know if you need further assistance.

I have tried everything to remove this gap, and, while you can remove it using custom Android styles in normal views, it persists in modals, and there's nothing you can do to fix it there.
