Hide status bar/on-screen buttons

I know that some launchers can hide the status bar, but only for the homescreen
Also, in CM7, I can set long-pressing a button to toggle it, but only for that instance; it will reappear as soon as I switch to another screen
Besides, since most of the info are already on the lockscreen, I don't find the point of having the status bar on lockscreen (wouldn't the lockscreen look better too?)
I hope devs will improve this by having the status bar hidden all the time once toggled, and retoggle to bring it back at any time, and/or autohide
Since Galaxy Nexus doesn't have capacitive buttons, the toggle can be implemented into long-press power menu along with screenshot and others
So devs, please consider this (for the love of those sexy AMOLED and the 3 Nexus)

[BUG REPORT] Nav bar on lock screen

Just updated to 20140130 on my Nexus 4 and played around with the new navigation bar settings. I decided not to change anything and reset the navigation bar.
Now the navigation buttons (back, home, recent) show up on the lockscreen (slider ring) and they work! I can't see what I'm doing, but as soon as I unlock I can see that I went back, to the home screen or pulled up the recent list. This seems like a major issue to me as it essentially renders parts of the lockscreen useless.
Also, the navigation bar isn't transparent anymore on the home screen, but some kind of grey gradient (not even the standard solid black).
Thanks for all the good work up to this point!

Do I need another app for toggles in Notification tray?

What I want is to have toggles right in the Notification tray.
It looks like this app would do the job: Power Toggles
Right now I either need to press a button in the upper right corner of Notification tray to get to toggles or swipe notification tray with 2 fingers (can't do this with one hand) to get to toggles screen.
But I already have Xposed and GravityBox and wonder if this functionality is already there. If it is - I don't know how to activate it.

It is not in GravityBox. There is also another option in Notification Toggles:

There's an option for a fast toggle in GravityBox. Set it s if you swipe down from the upper right corner (or left if you prefer) it automatically opens to the toggles. Or you can see it to open to toggles by default unless you have a pending notification.

I don't know if this helps, but i believe you can swipe the bottom bar of the notification shade to get to the toggle panel, but personally i use gravity box with the quick toggle set to the right side

Quick toggle from upper right corner is what will work for me. Thanks

Unable to set lock screen options after update to CM 13

I've just updated to CM 13 and realized that my phone could be unlocked without any lock screen displaying. Previously, I had a pattern set for my OPO so I was surprised the OTA update removed it. Undeterred, I tried every type of lock option to no avail. It saves the pattern, PIN or password as it requests for it whenever I return to the options screen. However, pressing the power button or double tapping the status bar only blanks out the screen. Pressing the power button or double tapping the screen immediately unlocks my phone, thus bypassing any unlock mode that I've set. Any ideas or anyone facing this strange issue?

Am I the only one facing this problem?

Pull down the status bar until you see the quick toggles then do this:
1. "Edit tiles"
2. + (on the top right)
3. add the "Lock screen" tile
It should be grey now (inactive). Tap on it to enable the lockscreen again.
This tile disables the lockscreen, regardless of your security setting.
If this method does not help, I guess your only help will be a factory reset.

Great! Now the lock screen works as expected. Strange that the lock screen tile is auto selected after an OTA upgrade and no indication in the settings as well (until I toggled the tile off and back on again).
Offtopic: Gesture typing on android keyboard is not working anymore.

Can't tell you much as I use CM13 and won't switch to COS13.
Check the keyboard settings, there should be an option for gesture typing.

Yup, first thing I did was to head there and toggle gesture typing. No luck there and no idea how it got broken as it stopped working after the OTA update.

Notification bar pull-down area rarely registers.

I just got my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra the other day and there's something pretty frustrating that I'm hoping someone can help me out with. There is a feature that allows you to swipe down on the home screen to pull down the notification panel. This this feature is disabled, or you're on any other screen other than the home-screen, there is only a very very very thin line that represents the notification bar that registers you pressing when wanting to pull the notification bar down. Its even worse when I have my case on. I have to try press and dragging somewhere between 5-7 times before it works.
I guess I'm just wondering if there is a way or setting to expand the area at the top that acknowledges the notification pull-down feature. Currently, so far as I can tell, it measures at about .25cm vertical area that recognizes the drag-down feature. Can we increase to .5 or maybe even .75cm vertical area?

Use Nova Launch, in the settings go to gesture. From there you can do whatever you want.

You can also put another bottonin your Nav bar that pull down the notification on any apps anywhere. In the Good Lock app go to the NavStar. Choose a new configuration or long press on the navbar option of your choice and you can put more button on it. I have 7 and they're all very useful for me.
