Play Store App makes 3 button navigation nearly impossible to see since latest update?

I think this started after the one of the latest updates...maybe the September Play System update?

It only happens when I am in the Play Store app. I use the three button navigation. On all apps the buttons remain white. However, in the Play Store app they are almost as dark as the rest of the bottom area making them very hard to even see. They are there, and they still work, but they are NOT white. I cannot seem to find any way to make them as visible as they used to be! Anyone else experience this?

Very strange. I hope you figure out the setting, if it is one.

Did you clear device cache after getting the Play system update? You shouldn't have to, but it might be worth a shot.

I just uninstalled NavStar. Not a big deal. I can live with the default three button navigation. Still though, when in the Play Store app the three buttons are outlined and not solid like on every other screen. ๐Ÿ˜œ

Here we go...out of the blue... for no apparent reason (because I made no more changes after uninstalling NavStar...the buttons on the Play Store app are now showing up correctly just like on all the other apps! ๐Ÿค”

Just for giggles, try wiping the cache partition. It won't hurt anything.

I already uninstalled NavStar which basically fixed the issue so for now I'll leave it at that. I appreciate all the responses.

I have the same problem however I'm not removing navstar because it only impacts the play store and it still works. The buttons are still there but not turning white.

Well it's "nice" to know I'm not the only one! Maybe it's not so nice but clearly there's a reason this is now happening. Maybe the powers that be (Samsung, Google) will decide to fix it.
