As raghavsharmaxda correctly said, status bar and notification bar are the same, but Notification drawer is different
If you are on stock, then the status bar is already transparent by default in TouchWiz launcher in recent 4.2.2 but only for the lockscreen and launcher.
Although if you are on a custom launcher like KitKat then the launcher might have an option to toggle transparent status bar on/off.
If you use modules to manually select the color of the statusbar to 100% transparent there's a good chance that it'll appear white or some other color on it's own depending on the app you are using.
You see apps don't have the color of the status bar defined, they assume your system will do it on it's own.
Advice : if you are using modules to make it transparent, then expect it to be transparent all the time. If you don't want that then simply use the default Touchwiz launcher or a launcher that supports and/or has an option for toggling transparent status bar.

Yes like I said in my last post, using xposed modules will make your status bar transparent for all apps too.
And sorry I don't use any kitkat launchers or intend to. You'll have to try around and experiment with different ones.
I can recommend you Next Launcher, it has option to toggle transparent status bar but it's not even close a kitkat launcher.
AFAIK transparent status bar option on all launchers will only work fine on Kitkat. On JB it will always appear solid (transparent or not) , no transparent gradient.
@iceyhotguy @naufalhadyan Thanks Guyz

i use nova launcher. i have it set to always hide the status bar by default, but when i swipe down itll show/hide it.
if the rom you are using has the expanded desktop feature, you can enable it to disable both status bar and nav bar thus making your gnex full screen

im using bigxie's stock 4.2 right now, i tried using cm 10.1, but after a factory reset i flashed it and my phone just went crazy so i went back to stock roms again :/
GoLauncher gives you that option for only when using launcher...to hide status bar: preferences/appearance settings/uncheck show status bar OR GET THIS APP
GMD Hide Bar (must be rooted) https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nbWQuaGlkZWJhciJd I tried this app...works good on ICS
Anyone have transparent statusbar ?
I would love to see that too.
It only looks good on home screen. It horrible wen using apps as it just shows as a black or distorted bar at the top. If u really want it use framework mod here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2196265
With the tweak box plugin to change statusbar transparency without modding apk as its easier to revert back

I believe it is not possible to have a transparent status bar over all the apps since many of the apps don't bother to put anything behind the status bar. It can be only in the Home screen ans some apps.
Regd the second one. I can't help you mate!!

Does anyone know of a way to darken the framework on the galaxy tab3? I've used xposed to take care of the status bar and status bar icons, but would like to darken the settings window.

How come HTC didn't make the status bar and navigation bar transparent like everyone else are doing after Kitkat? Am I missing something? Is there an option to turn it off?

It's transparent on the home screen and lock screen, and then changes color based on the app that you're in. It's just a design choice on HTC's part. Custom roms and/or sense 6 toolbox (when it comes out) will probably let you force transparency all the time. However, transparent status bar and white icons with no shadow or outline can make for a bad day if you pick the wrong wallpaper.

Yea when I had my nexus 5 I was basically the same way it varied between apps mainly for that reason that visibility of the of the icons would be horrible.

Oh I see, I am just asking because I am using the Google Launcher and it doesn't have transparent status/navigation like the Nexus 5 does.
