If your rom supports transparent status bar's, then you would just have to make the unwanted portion transparent, then shift all of the status bar icons up that much to center them on the slimmer status bar. At least I believe that is all that would take, there may be a .xml file somewhere either in SystemUI.apk or framework-res.apk that has a dpi setting for it, making that smaller could also do the trick.

changing your screen density reduces the size of everything so can be used to have a reduced height status bar. their are apps on the market for changing this.

Look up LCD Density Changer in the marketplace.

i do that all the time but i want to keep my current dpi and i use gravitybox to size and colorize my nav bar but there is no settings like that for the status bar. i want the bars of 280 dpi and the rest the stock 480. is there a way?

I know there is an Xposed module for this. Problem is I forgot what it is called... It lets you set different dpi's for any app including the status bar.
Forgot the name...
Sorry, but I still wish you a nice day!

I feel you must decompile framework-res.apk
Go to res/values/dimens.xml . open it with notepad++

If you mean to say about "dimension editor", I see that the app doesn't actually do the thing. I have modified something and that the icons size doesn't change. Only the height is reduces thereby leaving me unable to read the status bar icons.
Can you please suggest an alternative way to do that.
FYI, I am using eclipse v9 rom on samsung galaxy note 2(n7100).

[Q] stock notification bar?

can i have the stock eb01 notification bar for use on superclean?
As far as I know you can't change the bar but you can change the quick panel back to the touchwiz panel. If there is a way to change the bar I'd like to know about it as well.

It's been posted under a couple of names but a search for tw-res.zip should bring it up. You flash it in recovery and you will get the original gray and green quick panel.
I used it with SC until I started using a theme.

to change it yourself, you have to have some understanding of theming...its not particularly hard but that depends on what your want to do...the pulldown is resized in superclean, but swapping out status_bar_expanded.xml in the layout folder from a stock eb01 twframework-res.apk will size it the way it was stock.
or you could just pull a stock twframework (deodexed of course) and push/flash it if you dont want to do any of that

Try using Omega Status Bar that allows for a ton of customization options such as changing clock font among other things.

spacecaker, first of all (that I knew) before changing the status bar sistemui with jb, had to have asked permission. I did not know. Secondly, I congratulate you, because your work is fantastic and I've done very happy with this status bar, I love it. I'm changing the png to customize my status bar. I want to give congratulations for your great work.
Well, I changed status bar png latest panel event with another color, and remains the same. No changes. I found as I said in framework.apk, but nothing changes. To which may be due? I'm desperate!

[Q] Is there an app that will easily let me modify my status bar appearance?

Status bar color is quite limited and doesn't change everything.
I'm looking for something to change the colour of the status bar icons and the transparency. Is there anything for that without changing system apks?

I would recommend taking a look at Omega Status Bar https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.calsto.omega.statusbar it offers numerous customization and theme options if you don't want to have to edit system apks.

Or try the rom toolbox lite.
It has that option..

It's non-root so i'm not sure if it's 100% reliable.
