[Q] [REQ] Transparent status bar? - Themer General Discussion

Hi, so as the title says... Just want to ask if there will be a transparent status bar feature?
It would be really nice to see it there, even in beta testing...

Good Changes! :good:

Saw that it arrived yesterday with an update, however the levels of transparency seem to be a bit broken.
If you select full transparency it doesn't seem to work, and just defaults to full black. (At least on the MotoX, anyway)
Additionally, if you select 'always show notification bar', the transparency option disappears entirely. (is this because it becomes adjustable within the widget setting instead?)
And finally, the transparency seems to have a forced gradient effect at all times, will there be a way to change this?

Hi,
Our team are still working on full transparency settings, as we want to make sure that the features will work 100%. So yes, we understand your frustration, but hopefully within the next update we'll include full transparency and gradient toggle support

I know there's a way but I don't know exactly "where" since I don't even know how to create a theme so maybe a theme maker knows?
This one have transparent default
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This one doesn't have statusbar on default
But you can pull it down which is exactly the look I'm after (until you do anything at all and it dissapears again)
So I've tried everything in settings
Which only makes it black
But there's obviously a way to make it persistent and transparent through the theme itself - how?
EDIT: Aha just unlock the widgets and longpress the statusbar and voilá - seems to be persitent (although I have a bunch of xposed modules that alters the statusbar)

Good!

[Q] Notification drawer/pull-down/tray replacement

Hi,
I am running PhireMod v6.2 and I have to say that this implementation absolutely beautiful except for one very particular annoying thing that it shares with the rest of the stock android UI - the notification pulldown.
I'm not really sure how this area is called. People have called it "pull-down", "tray", "drawer" and so on.
I'm not talking about the "status bar" or "notification bar", by the way.
I'm talking about the thing that appears when you swipe down (or sometimes swipe up depending on where your notification area is) which contains expanded details of the things you are currently or have finished downloading, expanded text for notifications.
Anyway, it's as fugly as hell and it covers THE WHOLE FREAKING screen when it's pulled down.
Can someone point me to a theme/app/method that would modify this into something a little bit more manageable and less obtrusive? I was thinking of something that would appear similar to Smart Bar (where all notification and notification text would appear in a small bubble on the status bar instead of taking up the length and width of the whole screen).
I've added the picture below for more clarity. I want to get rid of the part inside the red rectangle and replace it with something that makes more sense for a tablet.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Bump. I really want this too.
P.S. I think cm7 is more popular, and phiremod is cm7, so just mention cm7
@ikingblack: hooray for those of us who dare run nook at 1.3Ghz (re: your signature)
I wasn't sure about CM7. I've never tried CM7 and have no idea how the pulldown looks on CM7. Does it look the same?
I'm using Phiremod 6.2 because I'm using rack's solution for a dual boot of Ph6.2+HC both on an SD card
Wait... you're confusing me.
You said you're not talking about the notification bar. But what you're describing is clearly the notification bar.

I think the notification bar and pull down shade are 2 separate things, its just on phones to access the pull down shade you swipe from the notification bar. Take the stock nook for example. There is definitely a notification bar however no shade underneath to swipe up.
Or take honeycomb for example it also has a notification bar and no shade to swipe up.
So essentially the notification bar is just the starting point for the pull down shade if the device has one.
Just to clarify what I meant, the green area is the notification bar or status bar. The area in red is the one that I want to get rid off. It's clunky, inelegant and utterly fugly on a 7-inch.
Apply a theme from theme Chooser. That will make it transparent so you can see what's doing behind pull down. It doesn't get rid of it but looks better then the flat grey/black wall. I like sculpted or one of the color ones. Go to market and search cyanogenmod.... its the T-Mobile theme Chooser apps. Hope that helped ya.

I applied the honeybread theme from one of the threads here, looks terrific and makes the "notification drawer" transparent. Much better.

[Q]How to fix the gray status bar in JellyBean?

Hi, I hope someone would be patient to help me about this matter. I am trying to achieve a Kitkat UI using GravityBox on my phone with a stock 4.2.2 AOSP ROM (i believe). I have already set the following but why is it sometimes the status bar turns gray then when I reboot my phone the clock goes back to color blue again? -_-
Statusbar Colors: all set to color white, except the statusbar of course.
Transparency Management:
--> Launcher: 100%
--> Lockscreen: 56%
Here are some screenshots of what I am trying to say:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is after when I have just rebooted my phone. I have to set the color of the clock to white again.
Even I have set already the statusbar to 100% transparent, there still a tint that appears.
Almost in every app, the statusbar turns gray. But in some app, its just fine. Black, just what I want.

I dont think its because of the complete transparent statusbar because I've tried already not using the Transparency Management settings of GravityBox but it still happens. -_-

Yea I just checked it and noticed that CM11 themes that hide the handle have that issue as well. I'll have to look into that.
Works pretty sweet on my Galaxy S2 running SlimSaberKat... :good:
Could you make an option to remove the whole handle, not just hide it?
So there is more space for notifications?

Yep! That's actually what I'm working on, but I've been quite busy recently. Also, I'm still somewhat new to xposed development so I just need to figure out how to implement it lol.

Is there any Xposed module to shorten the pull down panel just to show the notifications. I mean it's just ridiculous expanding all the way down to the bottom covering the whole screen with black for 1 notification.
can you make an option to hide carrier label too?
How about lollipop?
I understand it's been a long time since this thread but something similar... There isn't a notification handle in lollipop yeah, but there's this "No notifications" text that appears when you've got,...well, no notifications. I was wondering if you could look into that, do something similar? I really want a clean UI and "No notifications" kinda makes my OCD twtich. XD

How to change the style of the notification panel?

Hey guys,
I'm currently using the CM 13 ROM, which is based on Android MM as you probably know.
The Notication Panel looks like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I really would like to change the Notification Panel so it looks like this:
Just as a side info: I achieved the look of the panel shown in the second picture with the app "material status bar notific", but i really dislike this app and it doesn't work to well.
So is there any way to make my Notification Panel as shown in the first screenshot to look like the Notification Panel in the second screenshot?
I would appreciate your help, thanks alot.

Installing Android 7 (CM14) would give you a similar look (except for the color).
Or you can get the same thing I said above, on android 6, with Xposed and the N-ify module (except for the color).
On android 6 you might be able to use a theme to get the desired colors, though I don't know if themes play well with N-ify.

That isn't possible. Only Samsung ROMs have that as far as I know.
Maybe Google will implement something similar in a future android version. But for now, you have to settle for this.

Go to the playstore and type in the search bar Navbar. Download the first navbar app that pops up and this navbar app should allow you to customize your navbar app to make it all black. Let me know if this works for you.

Tried a couple of the Navbar apps, didn't change it from white. I wonder who at Samsung saw that as an improvement. Makes my home screen ugly. I hope Nova comes up with something to fix it.
Hi guys,
Long time root user on every other device I've had, patiently waiting for our device to get root. But I did want to let you guys know how I corrected the white part over the navbar following the latest update. If you use nova launcher, you can set a gesture to hide the dock buttons, it's just a toggle (I have mine set as double tap swipe up) and it hides the buttons and makes the background of the nave normal again.
Lemme know if you have any questions.

I can change my navigation bar to six different colors other than white. You may need to activate the option to hide the navigation bar at the top of your picture before the colors become active. Personally, I his the bar and then just have to swipe up when I need it.
