Is this happening to you too? On the stock launcher, the navbar and notification bar are partially transparent. However, if I switch to Apex or Nova Launcher, I lose the transparency on the navbar and notification bar. Why is that? Running stock firmware, rooted. Seems to me like the launcher shouldn't affect this but it definitely does.

Any fixes?
I've heard changing the wallpaper can have an affect on transparency.. don't know if it was only for stock launcher or worked for Nova too.

My notification and nav bar aren't transparent at all. I was wondering how some were able to do that. Running stock rooted.
The transparency is only on the stock launcher framework. Aftermarket launchers have their own and unless they allow it to be customized, well. There you go.

Install cm10 or any aosp based ROM and you have the real thing, not just a theme

You could try apex or nova launcher from the play store.

can i change the notification bar?
Sadly no unless you root it

Yes you can change the notification bar to an ICS/JB style without having to root by installing the omega status bar app and ICS theme, however, it is a bit buggy at the minute.

im talking about when u drag down the notification bar. i like how the nexus u can turn on and off wireless and it just look more neat.
Ah. I think the developer of omega said that he would be working on the notification tray/area as well. No idea when he will provide that update/app though.
What do you mean by turn on and off wireless? Do you just mean something like notification toggles?

Sorry dude but nope. What I did was install nova launcher. Yeah it doesn't completely change it but it still looks nice.
Widgetsoid let's you add a notification power bar like CM. Its a little tricky, but you place the widget on your home screen, configure it for notifications then you can delete it and the pull down bar will still be there...or...you know, just install CM

Is it possible to theme stock touchwiz jellybean?
I would like to theme it to look a bit less messy,and to have more of an aosp look.
What I would like to change the most is the status/navigation bar and all the icons in it,
and if possible the cascaded windows and their title bar's height and width.
Can I use zip themer or metamorph?
BTW I am using Team Unions ROM v2 I believe it is deodexed.
Try a different launcher like Apex or Nova. I am using Apex and using a theme. I am on Team Union as well.

I have already switched launchers, what I'm trying to do is not theme the launcher.
I'm already done with that.
what I'm trying to do is theme the navigation bar and everything in it.
I have been studying up on changing the status bar clock color, but am not having luck executing it...could someone help me out? I want it plain old white...My SystemUI is attached.
I can do it for you but I won't be able to test it since I'm not running an aosp rom.

No worries on testing...I backup regularly and yes, it is AOSP (Eclipse JB). I appreciate it either way.
Just curious but isn't there an option in the settings to change the clock color to any color you want? It's been a long time since I last ran an aosp rom so I could be wrong.

Me too... I can't understand why Samsung is trying to force us to use their wallpapers if we want transparent bar
I dont understand either... We love android and support it but when they are forcing us to use their own apps and wallpapers, it doesnt make any sense...
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Also when you use another launcher the status bar changes to black.
I can confirm this. Apex and Nova launcher make the status bar black even if you stay with samsung's wallpapers. It is kind of annoying but still better then samsung's touchwiz.
The dumb thing is its not even fully black it's just dark grey so you use a black wallpaper it won't match up
Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda app-developers app
I think it's this way because Samsung don't want people to use their own wallpapers and then complain they can't read the time or battery if the wallpaper is too light. Anyway a mod can fix this in seconds, we have to be patient
Just flash the transparent status bar mod.

The implemention in Nova of transparency is flawed, it breaks themes and looks ugly in many apps.

I haven't had any problems so far, works (and looks) great for me.
Nothing new. Someone brought this up in anorher thread. Simply flash the transparent mod, deal with it being black or wait for a dev to develop more color options for the status bar

Where can I find this mod? Does it work with our 9505?

The new firmware that Samsung are starting to roll out now gives transparent bars on custom wallpaper. Check the screenshots on SamMobile.

Is there a basic launcher that allows trasparency on non-rooted Nexus 5? I used Holo Beta from the playstore before but it does not seem to work on Kit Kat. 4.4.2
Thanks folks!

I think you need more details than this? If you're non-rooted, does that mean you are on stock ROM as well?
If you're on stock, the base standard out-of-the-box launcher supports transparent navigation bar and status bar? You can't get much more basic than out-of-the-box!
If you don't mean navigation bar and status bar, which transparency are you referring to?
Or do you mean "basic" as in lighter and simpler than the stock launcher?
Action launcher
All of the major launchers have transparent top and bottoms. If not download nova beta, apex, etc. They should be up to date by now. My personal favorite is nova but it is your choice.
Hope this helps, please clarify if this is not what you were asking.
Yeah I kind of posted without checking what I wrote... Duh.... I meant transparent themes.... I was on carbon 4.2.2 on my galaxy s2. I may end up just rooting to get more goodies... I am loving stock right now. Got 4.5hours sot yesterday!
