I flashed a ROM on to my Galaxy SIII, and everything is great, it is just the icons in the status bar do not look right. They are to far from the edges of the screen, and it is more annoying that I though. I just need to know what file in the ROM holds the data for icon placement in the status bar so I can fix it. Below is a picture of what I am talking about.
PS I hate that battery icon. How can I get the old one back?

As we know black notification bar of Gingerbread makes the led bleeding more noticeable in the corners. I for one don't notice it often but it IS still there in the left hand corner. The right side has minimal bleeding but it is hidden by the time display.
A solution to the left side bleeding is to download an app called Bar Control. It allows you to put any app of your choice into the left corner of the notification bar. The contrast from the icon(s) you place in that corner make the bleeding pretty much invisible. I find that I only need to place one icon to hide the issue but some may need 2 or more depending on how bad their's is. Worked out for me. I can look directly into the left corner and not see any leeding so I figure I'd share my experience. Hope this helps someone enjoy their phone a little more.
I'd like to learn how to theme for those like me who were a fan of the vanilla notification bar.
Appreciate the tip. Will give it a shot when I finally get a chance to flash CM7 as I have backlight bleed slightly in the left hand corner as well, though very minimal in the right hand corner.
Yea but whats worse, a barely visible bleed or a bright annoying icon?
Actually a great fix is one that is in EaglesBlood, where the top bar is 2-tone sort of like the Sense themes. The top tone destroys any visible signs of a backlight bleed and doesn't have a horrible icon just chilling there.
Well the icons don't bother me and its actually nice having the app u chose in the bar.

I'm looking for a way to edit my HTC Incredible Notification/Status Bar. I was wondering if there is a way I can make the bar at the top of the screen bigger. I have a case on my phone that I really like and the top of the case stops right as my screen starts. So it is difficult to pull down my notification bar with the case on. I don't necessarily have to resize it if I could move it or maybe get an icon for it, or something.. Any solutions would be appreciated.

Hi,
I'm trying to get a Nexus 7 like UI in my Galaxy Tab 7.7. I have ICS 4.0.4 running on it. I installed Nova Launcher, set it as default, replaced Samsung Keyboard, changed DPI to 213, replaced some other misbehaving Samsung Apps. So far so good. But I would like to further simplify the UI, like in Nexus:
1) Introduce a new bar on the top of screen like Nexus7, move the icons on the right side of bottom navigation bar to top of screen. I need a new bar for this, any idea how can I get it? the notifications shall also start to pop down from top of the screen.
2) Disable mini-apps bar in the middle of bottom navbar. Anyway many of them don't function anymore in 213 DPI and I don't need it anymore.
3) Distribute the remaining navbar icons evenly onto the bottom navbar. Now they are very close to each other on the crowded left side of the bar.
Is this mission impossible? I was eventually using latest CM10 version which was good, but one morning I woke up with a depleted battery and a boot loop. I will wait some more time in the stock ROM (if possible) to try again either CM10 or PA.
Does anyone know how to restore the old style JB status and notification bar? i.e. everything in the bottom right corner of the screen
The new style (clock/battery top right, notifications top left) is awkward to use because the trigger area for the bars is so narrow and the Poetic case I have my TF300T in obstructs access, but I can't see a way to go back.
Alternatively are there any ROMs that allow you to adjust the size of the trigger area for the bars? I'm currently running BAKED bb-9 on 4.2
Thanks
Edit: found an option to do this in BAKED after all...
Only in video apps like Hulu and YouTube do I see this come up. It seems like it has to do with the status bar, but not sure what's causing it. Thanks in advance. This is on a Droid MAXX XT1080.
Edit: Well, it doesn't seem to show up when uploaded, but basically the top of the screen gets a transparent bar over it in a shape exactly like the status bar as far as height and width.
