What I want to have is the notification pull-down that is transparent or semi-transparent, not opaque as it is now. Is that possible?
I'm using Nova Launcher currently.

So, I'm stupid. I did this and nothing except the nav bar is now transparent. Not the pull down notification area or anything else.

Thank you, I'm looking through this very long thread. Nice to see there are other folks attempting this stuff on a non-rooted device. It's a very slow slog to find what I want even by searching the thread.
thank you again.

The black background of HTC's Sense looks really lo-tech to me, like they're not even trying to make it look decent. In my opinion, they could have at least given it a gradient layer.
Anywho, is there a way to get a transparent app drawer background without changing launchers? I've really grown to like Sense GUI and all it's useful little widgets
If this isn't possible, can the app drawer background at least be changed to a custom image of some sort? Or as a more general question, can the drawer be altered in any other way, shape, or form, besides the column/row number?

you can change your theme, by using uot kitchen, just change the part you like , in your case transparency under options...
here is a link : http://uot.dakra.lt/
I don't know. I've used UOT Kitchen before, but I've never come across any such option. Would you, or anyone else, mind telling me which tab to look under?
Tried it in my rom, but it didnt work.
You need to decompile rosie.apk and change colors in xml files.
Custom images not possible.
Google it on xda forum.

Oh, well. I guess I can live with a black app drawer then I'd have tried doing that, but since a more experienced person couldn't do it, I don't see why I should bother with it.

You misunderstood, I meant the app drawer, not the pull-down status bar, but thanks for the reply =]

with semi transparent status bar.
thank you.
i like the one in here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21115614&postcount=1 it's just that it's 4x5.
i cannot post to that thread...low post count.
thanks!
You could go launcher ex it has that option to change the app drawer background
If you use Go Launcher, you lose the Sense widgets which is considered by many to be one of Sense's biggest features... And the OP mentioned that he liked the widgets.
And this thread was ages old!
App Drawer and Dock
Has anybody got a zip that will make the app drawer and dock transparent. I'm running sense and no ROM.

Sorry mate but hide the navigation bar is not possible with a theme ...
You need to work over a build.prop file and for doing that you need a root
Can you help? You can you hide? My phone rooted.

Try to search also on google keyword like "build.prop how to hide navbar" i think that you can find a lot of suggestion ...
Good Luck!
Is there a tutorial to install the theme? Would be awesome! ^^
Nevermind! Found the HWThemes folder! Too obvious...

Hello guys,
Is there any way, xposed module or something like that, for editing the statusbar icons? I would like to move the signal and wi-fi icons to the left part of the statusbar. So far, I tried a couple of xposed modules but none of them worked on stock (.263) Sony rom. Thank you.

Don't know which ones you've tried, but typically Gravity Box, X Blast tools, Gem Xperia Xposed all will work on stock rom.
I have tried all of them. But none of them has the ability to rearrange the icons of the status bar.

That's the next one I was going to mention. It's been a while since I used it, so don't remember exactly, but it's not the same kind of 'push-button' auto tweak type thing like Gravity Box, etc. It's a little more technical, but way more versatile.
Yes, the mod Flat style bar indicators is incredible!!

In light of the fact there's no real root I figured I must DO something to this phone! I MUST make it different than Samsung intended. I was going thru withdrawal. Really. I got to messing around with different Samsung themes (black is Always Right and all of that developers dark themes are pretty dope..btw); but I found in the process many of the s8 unrooted mods usually work. Do some research but I've personally used better nav colors, remove lock text, remove lock carrier name, more precise animation scale, transparent qs, different nav buttons etc. And they are mostly apks, so no struggle. At all. Overlay apks also work too.
Not taking credit for any of this and props to the developer/s. I'm just sharing. Here's a link to one of the best list I've found.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/mods-small-collection-tweaks-t3657119
Even though it's a substratum thread the mods work without it. I tried substratum but it didn't play nice with my phone. Look for s8 threads in theme section by tigerhood and also clck. Most of their apks work on our phone.
Anyway maybe this is common knowledge but i couldn't find it anywhere else on the board so don't roast me if its nothing special. Lol
Thanks for this link, I have been looking and waiting for a long time for a way to hide the clock and battery icon in the status bar and this mod worked perfectly.

Lots of options for nav bar.
Here is a list of nav bar layers plus many more.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73042403&postcount=1442
With substratum you have lots of choices too.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/themes/theme-statusbar-icons-extras-samsung-t3674792

https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/substratum-inversion-ui-overlay-overlays-t3604341
Most of these work. Check the links at the bottom too. I can't remember where I got my nav shown in the picture but I've had no issues with any. Only ones seems not to work are those that try to adjust the nav bar height. It doesn't break anything you just don't see any change in the size.
Other than that you have to reinstall all your overlays again if you change your theme.
Nav bar shown apk below. Works 100%
Again, I take no credit for these and props to the developer/s.
The closest I can get to all black UI is by using Mini Black Edition V2 from the Samsung theme store and Swift Black overlays. I still have white pull down notifications and white nav bar when the keyboard is shown.
Is there a way to black out the pull down notifications and nav bar while the keyboard is shown ?
There's an apk around on one of the links I posted or somewhere else, I can't remember, with an overlay that gives you a black notification panel. It looks really nice, but you can't see the text on notifications very well.
For the black nav bar use the following by Draco.
Edit: first post on this link is the best list I've found. I've tried many of them and they work just fine. Props to the developers and the member who pulled them all together in one place.

Looks good don't it? All courtesy of the links posted. Honestly with these mods, there's really no need for root. So until we get full root this is the set up.

Use any of the ones that are system ui black notification. It should say that or something like that when you install. Then install the custom grey/ black notification. Or use any of the grey notification only ones and then the custom grey/ black

I can't be the only one that thinks the new transparent status bar/tile screen is hideous! In some cases it resembles screen burn, which is not at all attractive, and I see no practicality of it. I was hoping some of my substratum themes would mask it or at least make it less transparent, but I haven't found anything.
Anyone found a way to disable it/revert to the older visual theme?
