[Q] Apps that use KitKat translucent status and navigation bars? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi -- I'm loving KitKat's new options for translucent status and navigation bars, but I've only seen these actually used in a few apps: Google's own Google Experience Launcher/search app, plus a couple of launchers like Nova. Do people know of other apps that use these new translucent bars?
(There's a page here that talks about coding them.)
Thanks, Alan

[Q] Persistent Google Search bar in Rosie launcher?

Does anyone know if it's possible to add the persistent Google Search bar to the top of every screen in the Rosie launcher? I like this feature from AOSP based ROMs as well as 3rd party launchers, as it doesn't take up screen real estate for widgets/apps.
Thanks.

@ibocharov sir, just want to report.. I have installed this in my s3 i9300, i am using liquidsmooth latest nightly that already have dynamic colour changer (DCC) from omni.. I have disable DCC, and using your module but it don't work, status bar/navbar colour not change.. Is this module not compatible with rom that already have tinted status bar/navbar? Thanks sir
Looks really cool! I watched the video, but with no sound I was wondering - what's the reason for the small shaded block in the top left corner of the screen? Will it always be needed? Or is there a setting to hide it?
Also, I wouldn't mind donating at all if you keep this as updated as Flat Keyboard. :thumbup:

I don't know, because I tested it only on 2 my devices and spend only several days for develop this module, so it's very alpha version
Maybe attach logs and I'll try see what is there.
Thank you! Testing on my VZW G3 (vs985) now!

Does not work for me. Changes navbar buttons to black when the navbar should be light. Keyboard module worked without a hitch before installing this one, now its just black everywhere.

This looks excellent, and considering TSB is half-abandoned, you've a great way to go
PD: Please don't succumb to Lollipop darker statusbar style and keep this nice plain 4.4 style running.
Also, please join xposed repository so this can grow a good user base that fastly updates and test this
About free/premium, "free" shouldn't be time-limited by XDA rules if I don't remember bad? or maybe im wrong lol. Anyway imho, it should be free for some functionallity, and add some nice stuff for premium (like select styles from 4.4 or darken bars on 5.0, and a ton of stuff that can be done). The style with gradients on both status and navigation bars should be there also, since people may not want to switch from TSB otherwise.
EDIT: Testing on stock N5. First impression: It deletes the gradient on the launcher .
EDIT2: I noticed it has a WHITE gradient below the white icons on both status bar and nav bar, on lockscreen and I think on the launcher. Also when downloading notification bar on the launcher, the status looks kinda broken and does too many transitions. It ends up looking wrong below the notification panel. Why a white gradient here??
It seems to work unexpectedly well everywhere except on hamburgers menus like play store, where doesn't seem to detect changes. Doesn't seem to work in apps that show preload animations, for example Feedly. Other like Forza, they keep the colors from the animations when the navigation should change colour. Also when in Reddit is fun the action bar hides, the status bar keeps the original colour. is this intended?
It doesn't adapt to keyboard color , maybe you could adapt the feature of TSB of letting the user select the colors for when keyboard is on screen, or auto get the color from the keyboard?
It seems to work with the new apps using Material Design library (for example google play and Today Calendar), though having a few issues (In today calendar, the nav bar color shouldn't be white after the animation? maybe it times out?).
Also in some apps (like titanium backup), it doesn't delete the 1 pixel line between the status bar and the action bar. Also the action bar with the blue line there sux, good that the "reverse tint" option of TSB killed it and turned it a normal action bar.. could this app do something similar?
Will try to find more issues, since this works way too good for being 0.1. There must be a catch. It would completely replace TSB right now being v0.1 if it wasn't missing gradients.. all said.

Thanks for testing.
This module doesn't delete the gradient on the launcher, it just tint it you may manually set colors to black

Neat! thanks!
By the way, the gradient color for the lockscreen changed also the color for the launcher. It's a global value?
EDIT: The issue with the notification panel is that when swiping down the notification bar, it turns black whatever the color it was. It would look ok on stock, but I'm using Blurred System UI that makes the entire notification panel transparent and blurry, and on the status bar section it finds it completely BLACK, so it ends up wrong. Why does it turn black? Can't configure the colors while on the notification panel so it doesn't seem fixable
It works good on the home screen but on the apps my LG UI draws its status bar style.
Also it won't tint navbar. I forgot to take the xposed log.
The app it self doest seem to have any ui.
Device is LG G2. If needed I can provide any logs and sys files to help.
I like this. I'm waiting for an option to hide that small gray bar on the top left corner and an option to not change the navigation bar, only status bar.
Will keep an eye on this but for now it didn't work for me (black bars with dark icons everywhere on ARHD81), but if it did I'm not sure if it would do what I want.
I just want the status bar to autotint or be transparent for apps that don't use color with no KK grad. TSB isn't perfect but has a lot of manual adjustment that lets me get what I want so I'm going to stick with that until a simpler solution is available.
Been looking forward to this. However for me it doesn't do a thing after manually applying tint. I realise it's an alpha build so hopefully better things to come. Hoping for an autotint experience as flawless as your keyboard module. On my watch list for sure.

Manual tinting works flawlessly on a N5 (it can even tint the gradients on lockscreen and launchers.. more than v0.1 it seems vFinal), maybe it has something to do with your HTC rom

[Q] Layers mixing

I'm basically trying to use Magpie theme and Midnight theme to come up with a black/glass kind of theme. Which layer controls the toast notifications and also the google search bar widget. Rest of the layers are pretty straight forward, choose which layer from each theme I like. Just can't figure out those 2 above
Not the quick search bar widget... The google app one

Is it possible to replace MIUI status/notification bar?

The status bar at the top is so small the app notification icons are way to small. Is there a way to make it bigger or go back to AOSP without changing ROMs?
No, there's an xposed mod called 'immersed status bar' for MIUI but I believe that only changes things like the signal strength indicators and the like.
I would like to know that, too. There must be a solution. I've seen a video but it was very complicated

Transparent navigation bar throughout the device

Hi Guys!
Is there a way to get complete transparent nav bars across the device ? Most themes do have a transparent bar but limited to home screen when viewing settings or chrome it is replaced by a black ugly bar.
I want this to be transparent.
Any Idea ? I am rooted with xposed / magisk
