Fix for invisible buttons in navigation bar running Marshmallow (6.01) on Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Tablet - Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Themes and Apps

Since in Gmail and some other apps the buttons barely show under a white background (somehow the app does not switch the navigation background correctly, so you end up with white icons on white background), I created this theme for the tablet with the official Sony Theme Creator.
You can just download and install it - go to apps -> Downloads -> open the apk. It is unsigned but works with the inbuilt official Sony Theme "Designs" section under settings, where you activate the new theme "Status bar with shadow" It is named wrong there, but will change the nav bar...
The only thing modified are the navigation bar icons on the bottom, I have added a shadow and some more outline so they can be seen. Below a picture how the navigation bar looks like in the current Gmail app. Before the outlines were barely visible.

[RLS]Royale Origin WisBar and WM2003 theme v1.0

This theme is created for those who love the Royale theme and system look from Windows XP. All images and icons are based on the original Royale theme released by Microsoft New Zealand and the Microsoft Windows XP icon set.
Note:
1. The today top bar buttons are created deliberately to be big and clear for display purpose. Hence, there is not enough space to fit all available buttons on top bar in portrait mode.
2. The WisBar theme has included a custom button, which acts as a separator between other buttons and the start manu on the top bar.
3. If you experience problem with the Signal Strength button, try to exit and restart WisBar.

....with gravity box , its possible but when phone goes to Home Launcher or Lockscreen ,the nav bar is messes up due to their transpiracy setting for nav bar and status bar ....see the pic
There is a possibility through "Gem xperia xposed" module.....but that does not play well with gravity box mods ....i really need the navigation ring targets that gravity box provides and the menu key
.The white nav bar looks cool but is a problem with Xperia home and lockscreen ....any way to fix this ??? Here are some more screens Edit : Gem Xperia Xposed dont seem to work ....so gravity box is the only module that colour nav bar

which drawables(?) xml (?) smali(?) would I replace or edit in per apps? just need some guides and I'll do the rest
and Oh lasty where in SystemUI would change background of status bar expanded (done all the way to editing some stuffs)
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Stock icons are bigger than 3rd partry app icons

Hi
Icons of stock applications on Samsung devices with touchwiz and Android 6.0.1 are displayed bigger than icons of 3rd party apps. It is dependent on the "pixel-weight" of the icon, here an example.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I draw a small border, the icon has almost the same size as the stock ones, but if the icon content is filled, touchwiz shrinks the icon. This normalizer is also known on the Nova Launcher, but possible to disable. Is there a way to disable the normalizer on Samsung stock devices? I have root access.
My goal is to create an icon in the shape of the stock icons. I haven even exported the icons of stock application (*.qmg to *.png), which will be shrinked too.
Found the solution in a stock Samsung Application AndroidManifest.xml
You need to add the following line into the <application> tag in the mainfest.
Code:
<meta-data android:name="com.samsung.android.icon_container.has_icon_container" android:value="true"/>
This works with *.png and *.qmg icons too.
