Is there a way to change the color of the status bar icons yet?
The stock white is killing me, My eyes are not what they use to be. In past phones I had changed them to a bright green which was easy to read.
I would also be happy If I could make those icons larger somehow.
I also have a hard time seeing the notifications on my lock screen, Larger text would be great.
One would think Android would give us an option for visually impaired just like they did for the hearing impaired
Thanks
You could go to settings -> display -> zoom screen and font
There you can change the size of things on your screen, and make fonts bigger.
Thanks, I just tried that, it doesnt change the size of the status bar nor the lock screen notifications

I'm gonna scream! This is the third time I've tried typing this how to out.... Don't ask...
Anyways, I will tell you what to do to change the colors on the first one. Then after that, I will give the section, each entry and it's color, then wrap it up. I'm not going to write a book like I did before.
Let's go!
At home screen, menu/cyanogenmod settings/user interface. Render effect = no render effect. Status bar section. I didn't want battery percentage, so I unchecked it. Clock color. Move outside of color wheel to white. Tap the dot in the center of the color wheel to confirm that's the color you want. I wanted show dbm. Set that color to white.
Back key once. Date and provider. In plmn carrier string, the two check boxes should be checked. Carrier plmn label color = black. Make sure to tap the dot in the center of the color wheel when you change a color or your new choice won't stick. Settings for spn carrier string. Both check boxes checked. Carrier spn label color is black.
Back key once. Notifications colors. Notifications ticker color = white. Notifications count color is white. No notification title color is white. Clear notifications label color is black. Ongoing notifications title color is white. Latest notifications title color is white.
Scroll down some. Items title color is black. Items text color is black. Items time color is black. Check custom notifications bar check box. Bar color is black.
Now keep hitting back key until you are back to the home screen. Reboot the phone. When phone comes back up, everything "should" be correct color now. Let me know if it worked. It took me some trial and error, and a lot of reboots, before I think all the colors look as they should for the notification bar.
I don't know how to change the slide down notifications drawer to white on black. If I did, that would be like the icing on the cake... Sorry.

I the background the hard way...replaced the "statusbar_background.9.png" in framework-res with my own. and as far as the background of the notifications LIST, I believe youll have to change the "status_bar_background.png" within the framework-res as well... At least thats what I did.
On an unrooted phone running Nougat, does anyone know of a way to change the background color of the notification tile that appears on the lock screen? While running Marshmallow, the below weather notification had a dark gray color that contrasted well from the font. Now after updating, the color is a lighter gray, which makes it difficult for me to read the writing. Changing themes did not affect the color. In the slide-down notifications menu, the tile still has the same dark gray background but not on the lock screen. Thanks in advance.
Samsung doesn't let us change the color of the white navbar buttons-> Result:Burn in!
I really cannot understand the decision of Samsung not to provide the option of changing the color of the white navbar icons.
I use black themes and wallpapers for 1 year now. Black wallpapers and themes appear great on amoled screens and also help the battery life.
In order for the navigation bar to match my black interface, i turned the navigation bar to black.
The problem is that all these months the navbar is black but the navbar icons are white.
So after 1 year of light use i got a burn in of the icons of the navbar and i have to ask for a screen replacement.
If Samsung had given me choice, i would have set dark grey color for the navbar icons and i wouldn't had burn in. Someone can say that it's my fault because i turn the navbar to black so the contrast with the white icons was too big. Others could say "why didn't you hide completely the navbar? To these type of questions i reply with a question : Was it so difficult for Samsung to give an option to choose a color for the icons of the navbar???? Is it bad to prefer black interface on amoled displays which have exactly this advantage compared to the lcds???
I really hope that someone in Samsung will see this post. It's the first time i am thinking of giving up the amoled displays. In the past i didn't have such a problem because the navbar was outside the screen. Now with the bezeless screens, the navbar burn in issue is more easy to appear.
Just hide navbar or remove it with root/adb

If you read my post, you ll see that the meaning of it is not the solution "just hide it". And if it is more practical for me to have it shown as it is by default? What is the answer of Samsung on this? "Well, we couldn't provide the option to change the color of the navigation buttons, we haven't the knowledge that developers of play store have ( there are navigation bars which let the user change the color of the buttons), sorry for the burn-in" ???
Has anyone totally disabled the navbar and replaced it with one of the play store? I personally hide the stock, installed one from the play store, but when i enter an app, the interface of the app doesn't move up, so the buttons of the navigation bar fall inside the app's interface.
I disabled the navigation bar using this methos and works perfectly, is not even complicated.
Navigation Gestures
When i used black nav bar i noticed it's area was a little bit brighter color after that I removed it completely
I changed color to black.
Samsung want that your screen will burn and you buy a always the newest phone.
I use Gesture Controls app and disable the nav bar. However one solution is you can download an overlay that changes the buttons to the Pixel buttons and sets there color to a dark grey. That's what I had been using before the gesture control. Numerous options on Substratum as well. Good luck!
Hi,
The font size of the status bar (time, wifi symbol etc) does not seem to change with either the system font size setting nor the screen zoom setting like it has on other galaxies I've owned. Can anyone else confirm this ? Anyone know how to make it larger as it's tiny!
You can try zFont app, which will change font for everything in the phone, so you can get very slightly bigger font or at least better readable.
I actually love the 12.2.4 update (I knew what I was getting into and was fine using the poco launcher). But I have this issue where the status bar is black sometimes and the gesture indicator has this annoying white bar behind it that really looks ugly... (see screenshot) Do I have to uninstall other launchers? Or should I reset poco launcher?
[E] After uninstalling nova launcher it was gone, but now it's back
The status bar is black since miui 12, if you have a bright background. I don't know who is the brilliant developer, that thought this is a good idea.
Try changing the background, or try the settings under "more dark mode options" - "adjust wallpaper to dark mode" with ON and OFF.
I have a blue background, which also turns the status bar black, if I turn the mentioned setting off.

Thx for the suggestion! But I don't use dark mode at all. It also turns dark when I'm on light mode and I get that ugly bar behind the gesture indicator at the bottom.
I think it has something to do with display size setting in accessibility (or DPI). When I use display size S or XS, I don't have the issue only with L or when I set DPI lower than 392 (which is stock).. But why!?
[e] upon further testing I found out that it's a combination of setting DPI below 392 and the wallpaper... Maybe it's because of the colors in the wallpaper or the size or I don't know but certain (scrolling) wallpapers in combination with low DPI produce this bug with gesture indicator and status bar color pretty sure it has to do with bright/dark color but not sure. Weird stuff, but it seems like I fixed it.
