[Q] fully transparent status bar/action bar in Lollipop? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has Google removed the fully transparent status bar and action bar from KitKat? It used to be transparent in selected apps under KitKat, but now its only transparent on the home screen. In apps there is always a semi-transparent and shaded bar. This happens in native Google apps such as Gmail as well. Look at the screenshot below for an example. It's not fully transparent and it's annoying. Is this due to Lollipop itself or is there some setting I'm missing?

I hate this as well. Want to find a way to have full transparent...

Yeah, they use a separate navbar/statusbar overlay for a launcher now.

Need transparent top bar + bottom bar !

Where can i find a .cab for both top and bottom bar to disappear. I also need a .cab for transparent slider. I have stock rom 6.5. Thanks !!
Search for 'transparent curtain 2.1' and 'Lucarps transparent slider' You'll find plenty.
Alternatively try MaxTTM, an app that will do what you want. The curtains you will able to remove without issue and the slider by way of an add-in component.
Do you mean the transparent taskbar and softkey bar? Transparent taskbar and softkey bar are only transparent with the Titanium homescreen and start menu (if Titanium is the active homescreen).
Using Manila (seems you are doing) will cause the bar to appear be solid. Now you can do a trick where you use your background as the images for the taskbar/softkey bar... and make them slightly darker. They'll still be solid but have the matching background image on them to appear transparent.
Using the Manila trick will cause the images to be visible in ALL apps; where the default Titanium will switch back and forth from solid to transparent depending on the app.

How to make the nav bar transparent?

Is there any ROM out there that has a completely transparent Nav Bar? No I don't mean on just the home and lock screen. I want the Nav bar to be completely transparent on all apps. I swear I used to have a ROM that had this feature, I just can't seem to find it anymore. It's amazing how much nicer android looks with this.

Status bar text color

I have installed a white theme that i really like but now the text from status bar can't be seen as it is also white. Is there any way without root to change text colour or background? Changing the theme picture top could also be an option if i could find it and paint it dark but it's downloaded from theme store. Can it be found and be modified?
Did you find a way around this?
I once had an app called super status bar installed. It doesn't affect the original status bar (because AFAIK that's not possible without root) - but it replaces it completely and you can customize it then freely.
There are probably several other status bar replacement apps on the Play Store too, there should be something fitting for you.

If you're willing to use Nova launcher there is an option to make the status bar transparent.
I've had a transparent status bar for what seems like forever. Though I use Nova launcher and it was always an option in custom roms like CM and Paranoid It's not even something I thought was ever missing anymore.
