[Q] How to increase Status Bar height - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On CM 10 (JB 4.1.2) the status bar height is very small.
How do we increase only the height of the status bar?.
This is not a dpi resolution question because dpi changes the size of everything on the screen and the intention here is to only increase the status bar height, and of course the size of the contents within the status bar accordingly.
Thanks!

DPI
I think changing the screen DPI would work if you have rooted phone.
status bar height varies by .png 9.png image in systemui.apk.
Also try some trick with styles.xml through decompile & recompile
Or try Screen Density changer app from play store , I think that could help you.
If I help you hit the Sexy:fingers-crossed: Thanks button

I couldn't mod my statusbar height by decompiling and recompiling systemui 3 weeks now. I couldnt find statusbarservice.smali in my device to substitute id and save it. Eventually the tut is for gb only. Can you please help me with my problem. A tut for changing statusbar height without pc in jb would be very very good. Thanks!

[Q] status bar height

Hi all
Well, I'm trying to understand what happens to the status bar height :
- in dimens.xml from framework-res.apk, default height is set at 25dip
- in reality the status bar is 19pix height (which is not good for icons appearance)
- I have standard lcd density set to 120 and don't want to modify this setting
- when I set status bar height at 31dip then I have 23pix in reality, so it doesn't seems that there is a linear relation with lcd density ( I should have 24pix instead). perhaps there is a constraint somewhere ... but where ?
Someone knows how this works ???
thanks !
Response is here :
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design.html#statusbarstructure
So dimens.xml sets 25 height for mdpi ...and as we are in ldpi it's 19 ...
So we have to make 19x19 icons to make them have a good looking ! so small ...
I do ! but not with the good keyword ...
So after posting I thought in an other way ...
Thanks for your explication anyway !

If that brightness slider you're talking about is in status bar, then look for it's pngs in /res/drawable/ or any drawable folder

"ic_sysbar_highlight.png" ... will this be the png associated with it? I left to theme this as i thought this wont be the one..
Edit: the above mentioned png is associated with mid_navigation_bar.xml... so no luck with png's
On CM9 and CM10 is quickpanel_brightness_bg.png for the bar and quickpanel_brightness_icon.png for the icon between the bar

Thanks for the reply So Quickpanel_brightness_bg changes the slider color or the background color?
Slider I think; background seems to be something like quickpanel_brightness_background.png

The xml files that control the progress bar color are theme-dependant and located inside the /res/drawable/ folder.
The names of the files are:
1. scrubber_progress_horizontal_dark.xml
2. scrubber_progress_horizontal_light.xml
In each of these files you'll find a layered list of png's which you'll have to edit to change the look of your progress bar. The last two, scrubber_primary_holo and scrubber_secondary_holo are what you're looking for.
You'll find these in /res/drawable-hdpi (usually). Galaxy Mini, being a LDPI device, it will firstly search for the pngs in drawable-ldpi, then if they're not present there, it will continue searching for the same pngs in the other folder in this order: mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi. Make sure you edit the pngs found in the folder which represents the lowest resolution possible.
One more thing, these being pngs, you can change the whole look of the slider, not just the color.

Change Quick Setting Tiles/Status Bar Icon Size

Is there a way to change the icon size & font size of the quick setting icons or the status bar icons? I find it really annoying since the icons and font size don't match with the whole system font size and display size. Tried changing DPI but that doesn't help either. Does anyone know how to get this fixed?
