Ugly status bar icons / notifications - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

Is there a way to get proper status bar icons on Honor 8 / EMUI 4.1? I mean, just look at the screenshot below.

Problem 1:
Why the notification icons are so smaller and different from the icons on the right side? I've tried changing themes, but the size remains smaller and there is no way to match the styles.
Problem 2:
Furthermore, with my previous phones the Whatsapp/Telegram notifications icons which appeared on the status bar had either a themed or stock app appearance. Now i get the icon from the actual contact that contacted me (its avatar); this isn't convenient, as contacts with dark avatars produce invisible status bar icons on dark background (i'll post a new screenshot if this isn't clear). I even have a contact with a GPS-like icon avatar, and it makes me mad when he sends me a message, because I think it's some sort of navigation notification! I want the app icon, not the contact icon!
Below an example of what i consider proper status bar icons:

This is EMUI, the only solution is a custom ROM

I honestly really like it this way but you can try Flat Style Colored Bars. It won't change the contact icons, but it will get rid of the coloring making icons look all white and proper.

This is another way.

installa EMUI Theme Editor
puoi personalizzarti il tema un pò come vuoi scegliendo tra preset già esistenti o tra quelli che hai installato
p.s. parlo italiano perchè ho letto I TIM e credo pure tu lo sia if not, try to install Emui Theme Editor, you can customize many graphical aspects of your phone without rooting it

Really nice. by the way, could you make the frame of clock's background to be more thick like for example in the weather, call history and appointment background?
Hello,
I see that you have 2 buttons that i would like to have.
the reset button and the lock screen button.
Where can i find the cab file for it.
Thanks
if you have install max manila ,lockscreen.exe is already in windows folder,(Otherwise I shall post it)
you have just to make a shortcut to your start menu and change his icon with csmi or icon changer...
for reset it's xda shutdown but hd2tweak do this also...

My friend hello. Tried today your task bars. Excellent job on my Touch2. Just one notification. You should change in "johan_blackbar_v1_2.cab" the battery icon, with the one you have put in "johan_taskbar_orb_v1_1.cab", because in Touch 2 it isn't readable very easy. Apart from that 1.2 is fine and the device works without any problem. THNX

[THEME] WP7 UI and WM SKINS [UPDATED 26/5/11]

for the original theme credits to JCKOTZE
On 26/5 I updated every theme with some settings adjustmens (the most noticeble is a little increase of the indented area and so a more WP7 proportioned icon grid) and added few wallpapers inside icons folder.
Since I've seen only fully black backgrounds in all WP7 UI (really boring) , I put a themed wallpaper as default background, but you can easily switch to another one of your choice or to a solid color.

INSTALLATION1 - Install a WM metro skin
2 - Install iPhoneToday
3 - Copy contents of attached "WP7 Theme" folder into iPhoneToday program folder - black, red and GTX theme here
4 - Restart Iphonetoday​
NOTES- Added clean screen (last picture)
- to switch to a solid color background go to options->wallpaper-> delete the selected wallpaper name and leave the selection blank, then select a color from the bottom selector.
- Check out iPhoneToday thread for more commands to associate with icons (e.g. start menu,custom rotation angle, soft reset, open a specific email account... ecc.)
- If you install iPT as "today plugin", you can use nueNoBar to hide bottom bar , I quickly tested on WM6.5.5 and works, but can't say about battery draining, I prefer to have a metro bottom bar
- I suggest to use uTask to make this UI smarter​
Please attach here your own icons sets
I add here a new version of icons.xml , works for all theme colors.
Now if iPhoneToday is srcolled, leads to clean screen (to appreciate your wallpapers) with only visible time,date,notifications.
In fact are icons, without images, and if pressed nothing happens, (to delete notification you have to scroll up and use a visible icon).
If you want to have this without overwrite your own icons.xml edit iPT settings and add icons as in last picture example.
Great job, very well !
Metro skins
These WM 6.5.x skins are based on Sir sternas work
More green theme
edited 2 icons, if someone doesn't like the red versions on green theme.
more skins
a standard WP7 skin by nickschot ,a blue dark based on jeffrey2000 ipad skin and a green dark from kenchan2009
new colors: black, red and GTX
for interested user here's a weather tile option.
I did not test and include into the theme cause it requires to install some apps and set it, try it.

Thanks a MILLI,OOO,OOON for this !! I love it soo Much!
I have a few questions i need your help with:
1. The scrolling is very FAST! How do I slow the scrolling down similar to the default wm scroll speed?
2. I cannot access the touch-input keyboard. Everytime I change it from the settings, it changes back to the swype keyboard. How can I fix this issue? (because I prefer using the touch-input)
3. Is it possible to make the icons smaller on the mainscreens?
Again, THANKS A LOT for this ,, I love it!

Hi,thanks for appreciation
1- I don't know the windows default scrolling values, on my hd2 iPhoneToday scrolls fast but very responsive and sensitive, maybe wait to see if you get used to it, or just play around with settings->movement values.
If you don't find a combination of your taste , I suggest you to reinstall iPhoneToday and take note of default movement values, then install the theme and manually restore default movement values.
2- I don't have swype, for this issue ask into the iPhoneToday or swype thread.
3- you can edit them into settings->screen->icon width, but after reducing their size you'll have to change also the settings->screen->Offsetts->R value (increasing the indented area) or settings->screen->Text Settings->text height (to increase the vertical spacing between icons) .. this in order to maintain a regular icon grid.
But then you'll get far from the WP7 proportion
I use RapidRead to read xda forums, so I made these icons

I used a Xposed module called resflux and changed the color of the bg
You can also use gradient shadows like kikat uses for status bar and nav bar. This way on white videos we can see stuff just like I can see my battery and network on a white wallpaper
+1 This looks pretty cool Should be an option or something
Would love to be able to use this.
It looks great. I hope these changes do become implemented!
Implement pls
This is sexy! Please implement this, it has a Mich more straightened design that flows well with the rest.
Looks good to me! I'd love to see this implemented.
That looks sooo much better. Having the ability to set the transparency level would be awesome.
Why does the status bar look iOS? and why is the nav bar not transparent ? it would look odd if the status bar was transparent and the navbar wasnt.
Looks amazing otherwise
Poll added?
Not a fan of the icons up the top left of the screen but the rest is OK. Any view on changing the play/pause, skip forward and back icons?

Oops :silly:
Can you take away the bull**** up top? Battery, time, S/W decoding, that's just screen clutter IMHO and it is already shown on your status bar. Also don't know of any occurrence in which i needed to use the bottom right button, crop/zoom/whatever. More junk. (I know these don't take up a lot of real estate but still it distracts the eye when you are trying to locate a button. I would make these optional and disabled by default.)
Instead, you should take that away and you could then center the title. Move the overflow down to the bottom right.
Also, it looks good on dark videos, but maybe the transparency should have a slight gray filter so that on a white video background, you could still see white text. Look at the "a" in the EXmen title. Or if you were really fancy you could detect the current color situation and set the font color off that
I like the transparency though.
