Status bar

Is there a way to move the status bar to the top of the screen? Maybe even turn it into a slide out drawer?

Notification icon colors

What is the easiest way I can change the color of my signal bars and speed icon (H, 3G...) In the notification bar at the top of my screen?

All of those icons are in the framework-res.apk file. You can use one of those battery icon changers to update the file. You would want to take the framework-res.apk from your phone, edit it and replace the other one from the battery changer you find.
There is a guide in the themes section.

White status bar help

I'm trying to get a "MIUI-like" look on Holoblur ROM, and I was wondering if there is a way to get a white status bar and possibly navbar background. Maybe even white settings background if possible. I've tried the xposed framework, and the icons and text fonts and colors, etc work fine, but I can't find a module that can successfully change the status bar to white, or even make it transparent to allow the status bar background color features in the modules to work. Any help?

You'll have to either replace the status bar's png file or change the hex code in an xml file.....I'm not really a themer, just edited enough apk's....A quick google or xda search about this subject should point you in the right direction.

[Q] Transparent Nav Bar

I have tried to search and can't find anything that works. GEL, Rooted, Xposed, Gravity Box...can't get status and navigation bar transparent. Any suggestions?
Well I don't think you'd want a transparent status bar, it would overlap your app. While I too think a transparent navigation bar would be nice I think kit kats immersion mode kind of fulfills this.

Sorry for the dumb question but how do you access that option?

You don't activate it, if an app supports it whenever necessary the status and Nav bar disappear.
Keep in mind this is for 4.4+

Transparent nav bar

Does anyone know how to setup the nav bar to be transparent on 4.4.2? Im using gravitybox and I cant find a setting for it. Ive done searches but the only answers I can find are for the JB version of gravitybox. Its already transparent on my homescreen with my wallpaper by default, but when I use Chrome or any other app it's just black. Thanks for any help.

Xposed module tinted status bar also has a setting to make the nav bar match. Maybe kind of what you are looking for

I'll give that a try and report back. Thanks for the tip.

Well I tried it out, I couldn't seem to get it to do what I wanted, because even though the nav bar was transparent, the screen seemed to be still scaled for the nav bar. The only way I can get the screen to scale to take the space of the nav bar is expanded desktop mode and use the pie controls, which I don't really like. It just seems like there would be a way. I don't really need a black background to my nav bar, I know where the buttons are in my head, just the outline of the buttons would be enough for me. If I was able to see what was underneath the buttons that would make my screen seem bigger and better for reading and browsing and such.

Found the perfect solution, there's a module for xposed called app settings. It allows you to force immersive mode for any app you select, along with lots of other useful settings. Immersive mode works even better than a transparent nav bar because you can select items that would be under the nav bar.
