About OxygenOS Oreo Legacy (Beta) Support:

- Choose and configure overlay options, then apply.
- To modify QS tile colors, navigate to Settings > Display > Accent (select PitchBlack accent) and repeat after each PitchBlack theme change.

Limitations on Oreo 8.0 Legacy Version:
- Some notification text colors may not be inverted. Light notifications are set as default on Oreo ROMs (dark option available).
- Status bar options are disabled on the legacy version.
- Google search feed text colors cannot be inverted, hence light cards are used.
