PerfectColorBar doesn't work perfectly for me. More often than not I face completely colored status bar along with the icons which makes them illegible.
Anyone who is using it, can you tell what settings you recommend?

I have some modules that's not working at all and some that's working, but there are some flaws.
The not-working-at-all modules:
NFC Icon Remover. I know it was mainly developed for some HTC devices, but does it work for anyone on the Xperia L?
Adapted Layout also doesn't work at all. I don't know if it should only work if I have a completely hidden navigation bar, cause I have a navbar it's just reduced to half of it's original size and it also doesn't do anything at all. The walkman app looks like this for me and there should'nt be a space where I circled the picture.
The working-but-not-flawlessly modules:
But my biggest problem is with Gravitybox. Most of its features are working properly, but some of them aren't and they are annoying.
Problem 1: I tried to reduce the size of the navigation bar in vertical mode, but it's not working at all.
Problem 2: I set the transparency of the satus bar to 100% percent on the lockscreen, but it's not fully transparent, it looks like this. It used to be working fine and it was fully transparent, I don't know what changed since.
Problem 3: I also set the transparency of the status bar to 100% in the launcher, and it's fully transparent, but if I lock my phone and then unlock it, the status bar is fully black, not transparent at all, but if I swype down the notification bar and the quickly swype it back up, it becomes fully transparent, and I have to do this every single time if I want a transparent status bar.
If you can help me with only one of my problems, it'd be much appreciated.
Is there any way to have a 100% empty status bar,no signal bars of any kind?I am looking for a way do it.I can't seem to kind a way with using immersive mode,which I don't want.I looked for a xposed module and didn't find any.Thanks in advance.

Just to be clear, why would you rather have a status bar with no status icons instead of simply no status bar at all?

Personal preference. I want a change.I like immersive mode with pie.It's just not what I want to be honest.I would like it empty and to use a widget to relay the info that would show up.(I.e WiFi signal carrier signal clock )

Sorry, I get the "clean look" idea. I just don't understand what the difference is to you to have a clean status bar vs no status bar... I don't see why you would want the former not the latter. Or would completely hiding the status bar be an option too?

I would "hide it".I've never really been a widget person,so I'd like to try something new and use a widget to give me all the info normally displayed in the status bar,but I don't want to use something that takes away the keys I added and colored. Any thoughts?

Widget is only good if you're in the launcher. What about in apps? Some custom laucnhers can hide status bar when you're in launcher (homescreen etc) but then not when in apps. How would that suit?

I'm one of the small niche groups that actually really G.N.L.I like the functionality of swiping to my left for my cards.I think I had a ROM on my gnex that I was able to hide icons than make status bar transparent.I'll check out a few custom ROMs and see what I can come up with.If not I'll make my own build to suit my needs.won't be the 1st time...thanks for the feed back I was just looking for the cheap way out.

Use the xposed module gravity box. And use the display setting called immersive status bar. It'll hide the status bar while keeping your navigation bar. You can keep your colored nav keys, not see the status bar, and you won't have to use pie. If I'm not misunderstanding, that's what you want?

Thanks buddy,apparently I missed that set of options in G.B.That's what I was looking for.
Hello,
I've tried to find how to make the status and navigation bar transparent with gravity box on Nexus 5 but every post on the Internet shows something like "transparency management" in Gravity box but this option seems to be non-existent.
Any ideas?

Status bar and Nav bar transparency is determined by the app. Most launchers have it implemented and a small number of other apps do. There's an Xposed module to force transparency on apps but it's buggy as apps that weren't designed with transparent bars in mind would have elements drawn behind the bars rather than leaving it as space for them.

The term "transparency management" was removed after KK I think.
Go to GravityBox -> Display tweaks -> Enable Translucent decor at the bottom. Reboot.

I believe what that does is always force transparent status and nav bars on the Recent Apps screen (and maybe elsewhere, I never noticed it anywhere else). In AOSP (also stock ROM), if you're in an app that doesn't support transparent status/nav bars then tap on recent apps, it won't fade away the bars to transparency. Vice versa, if you're in an app that supports it (most common being launcher), tapping on recent apps will keep the bars transparent.
Most custom ROMs have worked around it so going to recent apps will ALWAYS fade the bars to transparency regardless if the app you were in had them transparent or not. That option in GravityBox does the same thing.
Try disabling that option in GravityBox and you'll see.

Actually, not for mine. When the option is enabled, recent apps screen displays black bars even if the app supports transparency weirdly enough. I never used the transparency option in gravitybox in the first place, so I'm more than happy to stick with the system default.
Guys, does anyone knows how to make status & nav bars black in SETTINGS menu, instead of grey as default ? Xposed seems like can`t do this, maybe you know some mod or module for xposed that can change the colour of bars?

I use "xperia/aosp navbar buttons" to rearrange the buttons, "xperia xposed" to make the status bar autohide, "app settings" to decide which apps to make fully immersive and finally "tinted status bar" to determine both bars colours per app.
Thank you, i found great module for xposed, that turned bars in black easilly! With the holo themer i've got what i wanted

Hi
i did a search but cant seem to pin a how too
I want to be abled to always show even if status bar is transparent over top of a game playing so I can see what the wifi and battery is doing
I know can slide finger down. but it auto hides..
1) how can you change the time out of that
2) turn it auto hiding again..even if its finger swipe up
I search xposed modules but onyl found one that changes colour of clock and adds battery percentage
but nothing there to always show e.g. in full screen
if theres a module or app that edits build pro easily so can turn off and on would be great
cheers
I found a app.. but makes background solid its better then nothing
but thought xposed would have a option like this and choose transparent or own colours
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.jskt.togglestatusbar&hl=en
dont worry I found using the app below to turn it off and on when need and xposed module
Force Translucent KitKat and tick status but leave nav bar untick did the job!
does the trick.. now no black background but see through so it dont hide the
scores etc behind the status bar
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.jskt.togglestatusbar&hl=en
UPDATE--- found a better module for xposed but have to pay $3 for pro version
has a pop out you can enable to customise transparency and color for status bar
flat style colored bars
bonus is I can make the nav bar solid color like black with white font instead
of see through when swiping to bring up over top of a game
