The new lollipop update has just been officially updated on my new lg g3. But I've noticed a few different things that I'm now unable to change. One being a very annoying one! The top status bar and the bottom nav bar....
I use Nova launcher and there's a setting on there that if your device allows it that the top status bar will be set to full transparent (not just translucent)... this now no longer works?! Instead I have a dark overlay as the status bar and the same applies to the Nav bar. If I use the I.original home launcher then it does at least become translucent again with a gradient effect.
Is there any way to have a FULL translucent status bar again on lollipop without rooting it? As I didn't really want to have to root this phone. But these small UI changes make all the difference to me! I just can't understand why something like that would be taken away :-\
Try the Google Now Launcher After you install it, you can switch it from Settings > Home.
And if you'd be interestedin Nokia ZLauncher, it's a cool new thing, it's simple and minimal. it uses Try to download from Google Store if it says you can't or not compatible with your devide, you can grab the apk file from THIS THREAD
I hope this works for you. let me know.
where are you from ?

I'm running Synergy ROM r484. Looking to do some minor theming, transparent status bar, maybe change the colors of the toggles. I've been searching off and on for a couple of weeks and am unsure how to proceed.
I've seen that Morphology doesn't work on r484, so that's a no-go. Ninjamorph hasn't been updated in a while, don't trust it to work with 4.1. All the status bar apps in Play store either don't do what I want, or change too much.
Is there a simple way to do this? I feel like I'm missing something, but I'm running out of search ideas.
What's the difference between status and notification bar and How can I make the bar in the top of screen transparent ?

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
Hi there! Is there a way that I can make my Notification bar and Navigation bar Transparent in apps. I want to have them like on the homescreen with GEL where notification + navigation bar is trasparent. For example like the modded Instagram from Holofication Nation where everything is HOLO + transparent/ Thnx:fingers-crossed:
YES! I've been looking around for this too, thought maybe some xposed mod...
Not super familiar with the subject, but I think its up the the app Dev to implement?
Also, check out "[kk] translucent recents" xposed mod, makes your recent do just that!
I believe it is up to the developers to take the default page attributes and not specify color for those are or to become immersive. This is described on the Google development site and might be accessible via a search of this or the General areas of this forum.
Haven't seen a thread for the HTC One M8 and would like to see what people have come up with. I hope that people would share their setups and how they did it, so others can get ideas and come up with something of their own.
If you post, please share how you did it, or whatever apps/Xposed modules you used. Also, if the Mods are not clear in the pictures, explain what mods are done.
This is all on the Stock 4.4.2 OS that is on the HTC One M8, it's just Rooted.
All of the Mods come from Xposed Modules:
EX-Themer[KK]
HTC One Tweaker
Overflow Mod
Sense 6 Lockscreen Mods
Sense 6 Toolbox
Smooth System Progress Bars
SoftkeysFadeMod
Tinted Status Bar
Unicon
XSense
*****Unicon is the only module that you download via the Google Play Store, and costs money*****
In the first screenshot, I have custom Icons via Unicon, the Icons themselves are from the icon pack Cryten. Also the Weather Widget is transparent. The Software Keys are smaller, taking up less real-estate than the stock.
In the second screenshot, the App Drawer background is transparent instead of black.
The third screenshot is of BlinkFeed, the Dock Icons disappear.
In the fourth screenshot, the Status Bar and Navigation Bar change color to whatever app it is in via Tinted Status Bar.
In the fifth screenshot, its the same as the previous one, just showing the change in color of the Status and Nav Bars.
In the final screenshot, the Nav Bar icons fade via SoftkeysFadeMod.
I like to customize things to a point where they look kind of stock, like it was made to be the way it looks. I don't like over the top mods. Show me what you guys come up with!
Going to start messing with the Notfication Background, lets see what I come up with.
Hope you guys enjoy!
The home screen thread is under the Themes and apps thread. There is also a bigger one under the international forums also.
Thanks for this. Must have missed it.
Mods, please close the thread.
How do you put icons on the lock screen?

It's like that on stock. What ever apps you have on the lower part of your home screen, those will be displayed on the lock screen.
I am trying to make it so my Status Bar is just a constant flat black (in apps AND on home screen). I can not stand how it changes colours now based on what the colour of the screen is (I have red icons and clock colours, so this becomes very ugly and hard to read).
Do we have any kind of Play Store apps or Framework Modules that can take care of this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciate as this is driving me nuts and is starting to make me actually hate the phone.
Try tinted status bar xposed module. Don't know if it works on Lollipop though.
