Here it is... Ladies and Gents, I bring you the ColorForce Theme
This is strictly notification and status bar icons. Nothing more, nothing less.
This should be compatible with most ROMs, I personally have only tested it with TriForceROM. However, if your current ROM already has SystemUI modifications, it's possible that it might not work properly and cause bootloops and/or System UI crashes. I'm not responsible for your device, you flash this at your own risk. Always have a backup.
Here's the run down:
This flash is completely customizable. Simply flash the zip file and you'll come to the AROMA installer and be greeted with lots of options. each option has a preview icon next to it to see what it will be modifying, but I will also eventually upload pictures of them all to see here as well.
Your first selection screen, you can pick which icons you wish you modify. the selections are as follows:
Battery Icons - These include 1% Incremental Battery Mod
Signal Icons - Phone Signal Strength Icons
Data Icons - Data Icons (1X, 3G, 4G LTE)
Data Activity Icons - In/Out Mobile Data Activity Icons
Wi-Fi Icons - Wi-Fi Signal Strength Icons
Quick Toggles Icons - TouchWiz Quick Toggles Icons
Bluetooth Icons - Bluetooth Icons
Misc Icons - Misc Icons (Alarm, GPS, etc.)
If you do not select an option, you won't be prompted to change it, and it won't change in your current configuration, this makes it very convenient to change something small. Let's say you have a decent theme setup, but you just want to change the battery icons.. well instead of changing anything or having to go through and select all the same options again... you simply put a check in only the battery icons and then pick your battery. It leaves the rest of your System UI in tact and simply changes the battery icons. Or maybe you only want to change the Wi--Fi and Data icons, but NOT change anything else, same thing, just select those two options, and it will only prompt you for those selections and only change those icons. Neat, right?
Now, moving along to the next step... if you selected to change the Battery Icons, you'll be prompted with the selection for the following Battery Types. The 1% battery mod is included in this theme, so you don't have to already have it installed or anything. Each selection has a preview icon next to it, so you can see what you're selecting.
Blue Circle
Castaway
Circle
ColorForce Theme
Honeycomb
Horizontal
Stock
Tacho
Two Bars
White
If you select ColorForce Battery, you will then be able to choose the color of the battery health gauge. Those colors are Green, White, Blue, Red, Pink, Purple, Yellow and Orange, and again, each one has a preview icon.
After you select your Battery, you will then be prompted for what's asking you do you want to change all the icons to the same color. This is simply asking you this: For the selections you picked from the first screen, (other than the battery) do you want them all to be the same color or not. Example: if you select Wi-Fi and Signal icons and nothing else and you want them both to be Blue, you'd say yes here and then select Blue at the next screen. Or if you selected them ALL and you want everything to be Pink, just tap yes and then tap Pink. This will skip having to pick the same color multiple times.
But this is where the major customization comes in... you can select them separately and have so many different combinations of colors! Simply press no here and you'll then be prompted for each individual option after this point.
Every single selection from here on out has 9 different colors to pick from. Again those are Green, White, Blue, Red, Pink, Purple, Yellow and Orange, and Stock. Stock is not a color but the actual Stock icons, so you can always return to ground zero if you like.
The final option is whether or not you want to have a transparent Notification Menu pull down. Some people like this, some people don't. This will make it a 50% transparent background. It removes the background of the quick toggle icons as well.
After you've selected all those options, you simply install it from this point. It will take your current SystemUI.apk file and mod it with the selections.
Again, you can always go back to stock by simply putting a check in all boxes, selecting the stock battery and selecting yes to all colors and then selecting stock.
Screenshots are available in the second post, I'll eventually build all the icons sets and post those as well.
Here's the download for the first version, 1.1 -> http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407571189
Screenshots Attached.
And one more, just in case.
Man we are lucky (as a community) to have you. Thanks for all your efforts!

I don't know enough about what xposed does to say one way or another, but I would guess that it could have some issues with it.

I believe Xposed will over ride most systemUI mods
Pretttyyy sure the only thing Xposed won't over ride is 3Minit. Otherwise, yes, as Cerj said, it will most likely override other system UI mods. Test it out by uninstalling (or just unactivate) the Xposed Modules that make changes to the system UI, then flash this theme!
I tried flashing the circle battery. When I rebooted, I had stock battery with percent. I do run xposed and figured that that must be the problem. I uninstalled and tried again. Same result.

Sorry to say, no.
I haven't heard any success stories, which concerns me here, I see that the people that have tried this are running the custom frameworks, which I've been told doesn't work with this type of theme'ing.
Has anyone else had any luck with it?

I was able to get it working at least the battery blue circle. Had to disable xuimode in xposed. Give me a few days and I will try and test all of the options for you.

Made this because I was sick of having so many different sized and colored icons on the notification bar. That stuff drives me nuts, or maybe it bothers me because I am already nuts...but either way here it is.
This Morph converts your current static (ie-right side) notification icons to be consistent in size and color (White and Grey for Dark Bar, Black and Grey for Light Bar), and removes the black boxes around them. This only works for icons that appear on the right of the notification bar and will not effect "alert" icons that appear on the left side such as USB connection, Usb debugging, and others. Also included is a optional morph that will make your lockscreen alarm and charging icons more consistent with the main morphs. They can also be viewed in the image below.
Hit up the images below to see the full range of icons and a screen cap. Also this works great if you use the night rendering mode in CM6 frequently, as I do.
This is working for me on CM6, and I imagine it will work on many other roms as well.
=================================================
Standard disclaimer: Do a nandroid BU before you flash this. I have no idea whats on your system, or what may cause it to break, therefore you flash this at your own risk, as with pretty much every morph.
If you are experiencing issues with metamorph hanging while trying to install, make sure you have usb debugging turned on in your system settings. yes, you really need to do this. go to settings-->applications-->development-->make sure usb debugging is checked!
If that doesnt work check this list made by morpher Formel-LMS. Must be that German efficiency...
1. Have you downloaded the correct files for your ROM?
2. Have you debugging enabled in the Android Menu?
3. Install "Titanium Backup" start it and hit the "Problems?" Button, then it installs a correct busybox version. This is required!!!
4. In Metamorph, press Menu, play with the applying speed. Choose a speed above 4200!
5. Never check the "Disable startup checks" in Metamorphs settings
6. Never, never, never rename the zipfile. If you do this, you'll get error messages like "Theme Control File Missing"

If you like this Donate here to help out an unemployed designer!pretty please? even a quarter helps...Only 1 donation so far for all the morphs Ive made combined. So if you can help out please do.

NEW VERSIONS FOR BOTH LIGHT AND DARK, MORE ICONS INCLUDED!
Ok, the version for light bars is done and posted below along with an icon overview image. I have also added in a few I missed the first time around like the sync icons and vibrate only icon, for both versions.
Saved for future post.
Applied the DarkOnly icons, in combo with GlasStatusBar.
Works great, looks nice, thanks for making this!
[CM6 RC3, on N1]
(notification bar looks a bit off, because of Drocap)

Nice, glad you like it. Nice screen shot too, thx for attaching.
I applied this via metamorph and restarted, yet no changes are showing, I'm running CM6 and Debugging is on.
So I have decided i wanted to change out the factory status bar data icons for the ones in sense (i like those 10x better)
so playing around with the SystemUI.apk I was able to do so, but the icons now overlap the signal icons. I have tried decompiling the framework and using that method to shift over the data icons to where the wifi icon normally shows up BUT instead it not only moves the data icons but it also moves the signal bars over along with it. Is there any way I can "break" the data icons away from the signal bars? and have them both in independent spaces instead of being "connected" together.
Screenshot attached below.
So been tinkering with it a bit more, no matter what I do with the icons refuse to go to the left of the signal icon but can make them go to the right of the signal icons no problems. If I even attempt to try making the icons align to the left it just drags the signal icons with the data icons.
anyone have any ideas?
heres a screenshot of what i did manage to get so far.
Replace the gingerbread style icons and then select the alternate GB style signal bars in ROM Control.

Hi BoBCaTRoM,
Just like to say Thank You! for the great rom, love what you have done and will be donating for the good work you and your colleges have created
Anyways I have a question and sorry if already answered but I cant find related post. I just updated to you new Mod fix with 3minit 3.4 from your mod section and notice after successful update that the status bar colours have changed to a green and white colour.
All of the notification section have changed to green and not original blue (which I prefer) The clock on the status bar is white and so has the wifi signal colour changed to white.
I tried to change under 3minit but not successful. I was wondering if you have a default settings (original bobcat theme) with new updates or a way to revert back to all blue theme without the green?
I noticed in mod section there is a restore but I loose 3minit update and some of the extra notification buttons (reboot,power off ).
Another question I have is regarding CRT-OFF Not sure if thats exactly whats cause it but when I press my off button and press restart I dont get the option for rebooting in Recovery or Download mode only restart. I keep my animation scale to 1.5 cause I read that this might be a cause but has not solved the problem.
How can I get Recovery and Download mode as a option for restarting?
Sorry if this is any way confusing, please let me know and ill try to explain a bit better or with screen shots.
Thanking you in advanced and loving your work

I just wanted to create this thread to see if other people would like this change or any developers would possibly be able to make it a reality.
Basically I love to get as much battery life as possible as we all know it sucks on the s6 so on every 5.1.1 rom I used I always had power save mode enabled however in 6.0.1 the status bar has changed to grey and personally I do not like this.
Please share your thoughts

that is google's move actually. in nexus it changes to orange. maybe they want us to stop using battery saver because it won't save battery a lot and we lose lots of performance. So they change status bar to grey to remind us this is a power saving mode. don't use it always.
we need an optimized software + bigger battery for a better battery life. battery saver won't help a lot.
So I suggest you stop using it. 5% more battery life on power saver won't worth the performance drop

I've spent the last few days trying to understand why the bar was grey on my stock rooted DPAD ROM. I thought it was because I uninstalled the launcher and about 100 more apps. I reflashed the ROM twice using ODIN, and it was fine at first, then after installing, uninstalling apps and changing the settings it would turn grey. I didn't understand what made it change. This morning I saw that turning on Power Saving was the cause, and then I found your topic. Yes, it's horrible. It's even worse that there's no longer a switch for turning the Back and Recents button LEDs off.
However, if you're rooted and using Xposed, GravityBox will fix it, fortunately. I just tried it, and it gets rid of the grey overlay on the status bar, but there's a minor issue: if you're in an app with a white action bar, the icons and clock won't invert color, so they'll be white on white.

can u tell me how you done it i have gravitybox
Google introduced a status bar icon editor back in developer previews of 8.0, yet seemed to have vanished from public release.
This is the menu where you used to hold the gear icon on the status bar, it would spin and unlock the editor.
For this, you can use any "activity launcher" however I will explain using Nova.
Long press on the home screen.
Select widgets.
Then you'll see "Activies" - press this.
Scroll down to "System UI" - touch it. You'll then see "Demo mode"(3rd option down) - touch this and a little wrench will appear on your home screen.
Press it. You'll see the status bar editor open up. Select status bar, and turn off the icons you want removed.
After this, reboot. And they will be gone.
I have Bluetooth, Alarm Clock, and signal bars all removed. Makes the status bar just clean and neat.
Give it a try!
ENJOY!
This is a great hidden find, unfortunately I wasn't able to remove the battery icon.... I don't need that with percentage showing.
Didn't work on my Global version. I can unselect then but after rebooting they are all still there.

I'm using the global version, and it works great on mine and another buddies of mine.
What version software do you have?
Only WiFi seems to disappear for me. Other icons just reappear on my global variant of the Mate 20 X. But thank you for the guide regardless.
Also wish the performance mode icon could be hidden, but that's not even an option.
Sigh, if we could just get near stock Android + sprinkles of EMUI customisations, I'd be so happy.. I love the hardware, camera, overall feel of the Mate 20 X but keep finding myself playing with my 6T and Pixel 2 XL because the software is a tough pill to swallow on the Huawei phone.

Seems like some toggles work, while some others don't :/
Would love to hide the VoLTE icon on the status bar. Or some way to rearrange the ordering if possible.
Edit: Just realized I can simply turn off VoLTE in the mobile networks settings (since I don't use it) to remove the icon.
can u explain 1 2 3

Wow, I was really excited about this, but my phone automatically overrides it at boot. I think I can see it for a split second before it reverts, but it might just be populating the icons.
Anybody know more about this?
I am using lawn chair V2 launcher and although you can't hide icons you can set it to hide the whole status bar, very clean and to see the bar you just pull down from the top of the screen
