I recently rooted my archos 43IT and now i have changed the lcd density from 240 to 200 and i love it but the status bar has become transparent except for a tiny chunk on the far left.
This doesn't affect how easy it is to use but it is annoying and i would rather that it was completely transparent or a solid colour
Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know how to fix it?
thanks

I have some modules that's not working at all and some that's working, but there are some flaws.
The not-working-at-all modules:
NFC Icon Remover. I know it was mainly developed for some HTC devices, but does it work for anyone on the Xperia L?
Adapted Layout also doesn't work at all. I don't know if it should only work if I have a completely hidden navigation bar, cause I have a navbar it's just reduced to half of it's original size and it also doesn't do anything at all. The walkman app looks like this for me and there should'nt be a space where I circled the picture.
The working-but-not-flawlessly modules:
But my biggest problem is with Gravitybox. Most of its features are working properly, but some of them aren't and they are annoying.
Problem 1: I tried to reduce the size of the navigation bar in vertical mode, but it's not working at all.
Problem 2: I set the transparency of the satus bar to 100% percent on the lockscreen, but it's not fully transparent, it looks like this. It used to be working fine and it was fully transparent, I don't know what changed since.
Problem 3: I also set the transparency of the status bar to 100% in the launcher, and it's fully transparent, but if I lock my phone and then unlock it, the status bar is fully black, not transparent at all, but if I swype down the notification bar and the quickly swype it back up, it becomes fully transparent, and I have to do this every single time if I want a transparent status bar.
If you can help me with only one of my problems, it'd be much appreciated.
Hi
I'm in the process of installing a Android-stick in my car by HDMI to display on the original 7" screen and controlled with a touch-plate overlay.
That part is done and its working, but with such a low res screen (800x480 native) with stick running 720p the menus and text become unreadable even in "huge" mode. This i was able to more or less fix by using an app "Resolution Changer" which allows for changing resolution and DPI.
Problem is that icons will start to overlap/cut eachother if tweaked too muuch and app names disappear, also the standard android menu and statusbar remains tiny.
My biggest problem now, after trying a different launcher, this one with a "windows 8" kind of layout, all icons are on top of eachother and I cant switch launcher back or find the icon for settings or Resolution Changer.
Hope anyone have tips on how to solve it other than reflashing, well, Its not a biggie, but would prefer not to.
Is there a way to change the color of the status bar icons yet?
The stock white is killing me, My eyes are not what they use to be. In past phones I had changed them to a bright green which was easy to read.
I would also be happy If I could make those icons larger somehow.
I also have a hard time seeing the notifications on my lock screen, Larger text would be great.
One would think Android would give us an option for visually impaired just like they did for the hearing impaired
Thanks
You could go to settings -> display -> zoom screen and font
There you can change the size of things on your screen, and make fonts bigger.
Thanks, I just tried that, it doesnt change the size of the status bar nor the lock screen notifications
Samsung doesn't let us change the color of the white navbar buttons-> Result:Burn in!
I really cannot understand the decision of Samsung not to provide the option of changing the color of the white navbar icons.
I use black themes and wallpapers for 1 year now. Black wallpapers and themes appear great on amoled screens and also help the battery life.
In order for the navigation bar to match my black interface, i turned the navigation bar to black.
The problem is that all these months the navbar is black but the navbar icons are white.
So after 1 year of light use i got a burn in of the icons of the navbar and i have to ask for a screen replacement.
If Samsung had given me choice, i would have set dark grey color for the navbar icons and i wouldn't had burn in. Someone can say that it's my fault because i turn the navbar to black so the contrast with the white icons was too big. Others could say "why didn't you hide completely the navbar? To these type of questions i reply with a question : Was it so difficult for Samsung to give an option to choose a color for the icons of the navbar???? Is it bad to prefer black interface on amoled displays which have exactly this advantage compared to the lcds???
I really hope that someone in Samsung will see this post. It's the first time i am thinking of giving up the amoled displays. In the past i didn't have such a problem because the navbar was outside the screen. Now with the bezeless screens, the navbar burn in issue is more easy to appear.
Just hide navbar or remove it with root/adb

If you read my post, you ll see that the meaning of it is not the solution "just hide it". And if it is more practical for me to have it shown as it is by default? What is the answer of Samsung on this? "Well, we couldn't provide the option to change the color of the navigation buttons, we haven't the knowledge that developers of play store have ( there are navigation bars which let the user change the color of the buttons), sorry for the burn-in" ???
Has anyone totally disabled the navbar and replaced it with one of the play store? I personally hide the stock, installed one from the play store, but when i enter an app, the interface of the app doesn't move up, so the buttons of the navigation bar fall inside the app's interface.
I disabled the navigation bar using this methos and works perfectly, is not even complicated.
Navigation Gestures
When i used black nav bar i noticed it's area was a little bit brighter color after that I removed it completely
I changed color to black.
Samsung want that your screen will burn and you buy a always the newest phone.
I use Gesture Controls app and disable the nav bar. However one solution is you can download an overlay that changes the buttons to the Pixel buttons and sets there color to a dark grey. That's what I had been using before the gesture control. Numerous options on Substratum as well. Good luck!
Hi,
The font size of the status bar (time, wifi symbol etc) does not seem to change with either the system font size setting nor the screen zoom setting like it has on other galaxies I've owned. Can anyone else confirm this ? Anyone know how to make it larger as it's tiny!
You can try zFont app, which will change font for everything in the phone, so you can get very slightly bigger font or at least better readable.
