*Remove* statusbar but keep notification shade? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone!
I was wondering if it was possible to remove the statusbar entirely but retain the notification shade. The notification style is beautiful on lollipop and there's honestly no point of that ugly bar at the top of the screen anymore.
I used expanded desktop before but it requires you to go through multiple swipes before the notification shade opens.
Is it possible to remove the statusbar but keep the "one swipe" notifcation shade funtionality?
One way I thought this could work is to reduce the size of the statusbar to nill or just make it invisible and remove all the icons but I can't seem to find a way to do either of those things however.
Any ideas?

[Q] - sliding down notification toggle buttons

Hi
Is it hard to make notification toggle buttons slide down with the bottom notification bar ? So they will be at the bottom of the screen after notification menu is "opened"
I have seen it on some theme but can not find it. Can someone point me to that theme then I will try to reverse engineer.

[Q] Solid Notification Shade?

Hello!
I like the way HTC's Notification shade comes down from the bar, when normally the notifications would be pulled down first. But when you pull down the HTC notification shade the actual bottom of the shade comes down first. So instead of kinda rolling down it would be a solid shade to pull down
Would there be a way to implement this type of Notification shade into a ROM like NeatROM
Thank you

[Q] Invisible statusbar on lockscreen

I'm not sure as to why, but my statusbar on my lockscreen is clear. I have a white background, so that makes seeing notifications impossible. Is there a way that I can set it to be black, or at least not clear?

Showing notification bar shifts everything

When I swipe down to view the notification bar, everything shifts. The whole page shrinks and adds black bars to the side. On the video I watched about Themer, when he swiped down the notification bar smoothly came down ontop of the page. Not sure if I am missing a setting or if that is just how it is.
Screenshot would be nice

In the first image everything is fine.
Second image I swiped down to show notification bar and everything shifts and it adds black bars to the side.
Third image is when I hide the notification bar and somethings are still shifted.
We're working on themes that have the notification bar built in. Right now most of them hide it for a clean look, but you can gesture down to open it temporarily, and gesture up to hide it again

That is what I am doing. But in doing the gesture down to show the notification bar, it shifts the items on the page. I like that it is hidden and the gesture down and up to show/hide it. Just hoping it was a bit smoother and just overlapping on the page instead of shifting everything.

Looking at your screenshots, it looks like you have a modified notification bar. On stock devices, when you gesture down, the notification bar "floats" on top of the theme briefly and does not mess up the alignment. Try restoring your notification bar to stock configuration and you might have better results.

I had a mod for the status bar and I got rid of it and it works fine. Thanks!

Notification shade pull down and bottom-up

So it looks like the G6 has an awesome button at the bottom to pull down the notification shade so you dont have to stretch all the way to the top of the device. How about moving the notification shade to the bottom? This would make a lot more sense given how big phones are getting. Really the only reason you stretch to the top of the phone is to get to the quick toggles or notifications up top. Would be great if this came from the bottom to alleviate this.
Hi
Well, that requires a software modification, but if you want that button, it can be easily added if your rom supports Navigation Bar, you can add custom button and set function to pull down notification, and even if it doesn't you can add it with xposed and gravity box app.
