Transparent notification bar on MIUI

Everyone will be knowing that MIUI supports transparent notification - (http://img.tapatalk.com/62cede0e-f9b4-58c5.jpg)
I prefer using the TW launcher rather than the MIUI launcher - of course, I know that I can still use MIUI notification drawer on the TW launcher, but the problem is that you lose the transparency on the home screen ... with most drawer themes.
I noticed that the notification drawer theme "Galaxy S" - is actually transparent, even on TW home screen.... my question is, does any one know how to make ANY notification bar transparent, or know of any other themes that have this transparency effect on TW?

+1 would love transparent bar on apex with miui!

Also thank you for the galaxy s suggestion.. Status bar looks nice but unfortunately the notification drawer looks terrible! Any way to only change the status bar, or any notification themes with the same drawer, but transparent bar??

I am not an expert at these things but i am pretty sure they cant be seperated. Its true, the drawer is quite bad... Too dark for the font used. Have tried a few other themes with no success

Ok... I have just made a discovery!!
You cant change the background to the drawer.. But you can combine texts and icons from another theme.
1. Go to theme then set the theme you like the text, colour and icons of. i like the 'gentleman' theme
2. Then go back to theme and then go to 'mix' and change only the 'status bar, to ' galaxy S'
Of course, mix and match everything else. Looks perfect now.

Just spent hours trying to modify themes using theme editor, and also modifying systemui.apk... Failed sigh.
Any theming wizards able to make the status bar background Grey or clear with apex launcher?? Basically I figured out that there is no file for status bar background, and the miui launcher defaults to clear, while apex defaults to black. I tried adding a Grey background, but failed..

Has anyone tried this with Touchwiz or the Note 3??

The OP said he tested it on his Note 3 so I am guessing it works. I want to try it but I wonder if it interferes with Wanam. Or do I even need this if I have Wanam.

Oops, man I completely overlooked that. I thought he was saying the developer tested it lol.
I want to try too, but I have Wanam as well and don't want to risk a bootloop.

I have both wanam and this but it seems to override the wanam settings

Good to know. Will be sticking with Wanam.
This seems like a great module though, I will be testing it later today. :laugh:

I agree. Not because Blast isn't any good but because Wanam is designed for Samsung phones.

It has a lot of little features that I wish wanam had though. Wish I could combine them

Did you just add both without problems, or were there options you needed to check to get them both to work?

I just added both. Nothing to check off.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

just go to the Xposed installer, go to modules, and make sure you have them both checked.
the only time any features get over ridden is if you enable a feature under both modules.. just pick wich module youd like to use for which settings...

annoying starusbar color

Sooooooo, for the phone. All good, except when the statusbar shows in white while typing even if it was changed to black from the settings. Anyone have a solution or a workaround ? I want my statusbar black when I am typing. I attached two screenshots to show what I mean.

Also, tried with chrome and it was black , very weird ! Probably depends on which app being used.

Ugh, bro I was wondering if it was just me or what. Yes, this is very annoying.

Yeah, I did find that it seems to be present in all samsung apps, like messaging and settings. But other applications that you'd download from the play store don't have that issue!
Ugh!

yeah unfortunately samsung didn't implement a dynamic color navigation bar.

Try this app to customize it to any color you like: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps
I'm pretty sure that by default the app can decide on the navbar color.

Navbar apps was updated yesterday and now works very well with the s8. You can black out the navbar, set colors for when keyboard is open and even color the navbar dynamically based on the open app.

Grey bar at the top of the screen with a black wallpaper

Do you guys have noticed that when you apply a wallpaper that is fully black, the color on top where the status bar is is grey? It is even more noticeable when you hide the status bar in Nova launcher than there is a grey bar on top of the screen. Now I don't know if that has to do with the aspect ratio but it is not so nice to look at in my opinion.
Sent from my SM-G955F using XDA-Developers Legacy app

It's normal. It's some sort of statusbar shade so that it's easier to see the statusbar on lighter wallpapers.
There's also one at the bottom where you usually swipe to open the app drawer.

Okay tnx but I haven't noticed it before on my S5.

I too had this problem with my s6 and now with s8+. I mainly noticed when i changed the themes with Nova launcher. But the thing worked for me is to apply wallpaper from Nova launcher(long press on home screen > wallpaper > choose). Almost every time this worked for me but u can try by switching the applying process from Gallery and from Nova launcher alternatively.

If you downloaded one from google search it could be an improper resolution. try search 2 ,WALLPAPERYOUWANT 2960x1440 then click the images or look for it to say that resolution in image details
example
Dragon Ball Super 2960x1440 if x doesnt work try * 2960*1440

Tnx! I fixed it with adding shadow on top and bottom in Nova settings
Sent from my SM-G955F using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Have the same problem. With black wallpaper it is light at the top. With light wallpaper it is dark at the top. Wtf Samsung !!!!

SOLVED!
Hey there this threat is pretty old but I'll put it out there just in case anyone else is having the same grey status bar shade while using black wallpapers which I'm sure are still out there. So here's the fix I just figured and hopes it helps other. It's simple really! Apparently samsung has this irritating thing on the s7 and s8 I guess. So to fix it, just download samsung's goodlock app, install it. When your phone comes back on after the compulsory reboot, then navigate to "advanced" on the goodlock settings disable status bar dim background. That's all! Apply your black wallpapers and enjoy your amoled screens! Please share if it helped you.

Well, this doesn't look like it's working for note 5 or the APK doesn't download\work anymore. APK parse error when installing. I've gotten the apk from multiple locations with no luck. GRR, this is frustrating. I've also tried multiple launchers thinking it was that, with no luck. The suggesting to use the shadow settings in Nova don't work either.
Any other options?

Navbar and status bar icon colors

Are there any options to change the color of the navbar and status bar icons ? I'd like slightly darker colors. Cheers

You could change the theme or use one of the MANY different non root apps on the play store to do such things. If you're rooted gravity box works the best.

You can use K-Klock to make the color of the statusbar icons on light backgrounds darker. I made mine black and it looks nicer.

Better is hidden navbar and gestures. More place on display. Combination with Fluid Gestures-no.1

Flat Style Bar Indicator, works great on my OP7Pro. Requires EdXposed.

With immersive mode, example using System UI tuner, if I hide the status bar icons do apps use the whole top of the display area or will there still be a blank unusable area like the s10plus?
