I have been looking around in the various S3 forums but can't find what I am looking for. I have tried search and get the bars come up but are all black with either blue or white icons. I would like a white notification bar with black icons/clock/signal etc but not sure if it is possible.
My phone is rooted and running MIUI-INDIA V2 but with Nova Launcher.
Would anyone tell me if its possible. i have tried the themes on MIUI but they do not change the bar (although they do when using MIUI launcher)
Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to change the background of my app icons in the status bar. I can use gravity box to change the bar itself, but the background of the icons themselves stays black. I have an app named "Trust". Can't see what the droid is holding in the icon...
Gravity box let's me change the background of the clock and signal icons, but leaves my icons alone...
I am looking for a non gravity box solution, hence the post is here.
Thanks in advance!
Oh yeah, using Stock 4.1.1 in a Huawei Valiant. MetroPCS

If you are using touchwiz, you wouldn't need it. If you use nova launcher, there is an option.
Otherwise you are out of luck atm, I believe.
Also, next time atleast mention the correct device, not somethingelse like g3. Your topic was not wrongfully moved, your own fault.

I mentioned I used certain apps previously on the G3. Should have been more clear on that. This is for the note 4 which I now own. However I learned that I could manually change the color for individual apps with tinted status bar mod thru exposed. It's kind of a pain getting them to match. I thought the app would automatically match the status to the action bar color.
Sorry
Use colour picker app from play store, you'll get the colours to match easily, this is what I've done in the past with status bar tint on my m7

Take a screenshot and use this site to get a color match. Works perfectly.
Thx
Tinted Status Bar has been out for a long time now and despite its popularity its no longer being updated which means we have to take matters into our own hands and set the color codes manually to get the perfect color coding like in Android Lollipop.
Here I will list the color codes of apps in which tinted status bar didn't work
Add these color codes by going in per app tints and select the app and add them in All activities unless a specific activity is specified in brackets "(...)". Incase a specific activity is mentioned, only add in it.
Chrome
*ffe2e2e2
Android Device Manager
*ffd1d1d1
Google Docs (com.google.android.apps.docs.app.NewMainProxyActivity)
*ff4089f6
Google Slides (com.google.android.apps.docs.app.DocListActivity)
*fff6b400
Google Sheets (com.google.android.apps.docs.app.DocListActivity)
*ff0b9d58
Facebook
*ff3b5b98
Gmail
*ffdb4334
Google Play Games
*ff4f8027
(com.google.android.gms.games.ui.destination.games.GameDetailActivity)
*ff242424
(Note: For Google Play Games, add the first code in all activities, and the second in the activity mentioned)
Google Play Music
*ffef6a00
Google Play News and Weather
*ffffffff (turn icon color to ff000000)
Google Play Store
*ff6a9f38
Google +
*ffdb4336
Hangouts
*ff0b9d58
Google Keep
*ffffbf09
Google Messenger (com.google.android.apps.messaging.ui.ConversationListActivity)
*ff0089d1
Mobogenie (com.mobogenie.activity.DownloadManagerActivity)
*ff008cd1
Sound Cloud
*ff242424
Twitter
*ff55afef
Youtube
*ffe71f13
These codes will make the status bar match the action bar, if you want a stock lollipop kind of feel, go in overlay options and select the semi transparent overlay, it will give you slightly darker status bar as compared to action bar, as in Lollipop.
If you are using a Navigation Bar, tick the link status & Nav bar option in default settings for best results.
For those apps which do not follow a specific color code or do not have an action bar we need to determine a default colour, so go in default settings and change the following:
Default Status bar
*ff242424
Default Nav Bar
*ff242424
If you are using the Google Keyboard with Material Light Theme, then also change the following in default settings:
Navigation Bar Tint (IM)
*ffe3eaea
Navigation Bar Icon Tint (IM)
*ff2e373c
For Material Dark Theme on Google Keyboard, change to this:
Navigation Bar Tint (IM)
*ff21292b
Navigation Bar Icon Tint (IM)
*ffe3eaea
If you want codes for other apps not mentioned here, download the color picker app from playstore and open your target app, take a screenshot and then open color picker, load the screenshot and touch on action bar to get your code, enter that in tinted status bar to set it, also post it here in comments to help others! :laugh:
Cheers!
Did you know that Tinted Status Bar has a feature called "Notification Color Picker"? It automagically detects app color and let's you set the color per activity or to the whole app.
So you don't need to mess with color codes, color picker apps, screenshots, etc. You just launch the notification color picker and you can configure 20 apps in 60 seconds.
Yes that's what I used to know about the activity names, but that's all it can do, tell activity name, after that you still need screen shot and pick color and manually set that color to the respective activity

I thinks you better install Flat Style Colored Bars, it performs better than TSB
Doesn't work for us who are stuck on Jellybean

Are you kidding? You can add the color directly from the notification, see the attachments.
Add app, add activity and apply color. You are making this way more difficult than it is, man.
OK just tried it, its really amazing and yes it takes much lesser time, I really didn't knew about it, thanks dude!

That's because this module doesn't recognize the second Sim, it was made for single Sim devices in mind, my second Sim doesn't change color too, anyway you can still use gravity box to give it a color of your choice, though it won't change automatically

I practically need a magnifying glass to read the notifications in the Notification panel. Changing the display settings font size does nothing. Any ideas?

try to change the design maybe it helps
Its has nothing to do with Design, I installed Nova Launcher and still the Notification fonts are really Tiny and Subject line of Gmail Notification in black fonts is unredable

I saw a video where someone had white notifications. I think it's on one of the downloable themes (you got to agree to allow access to imei), you can apply that, then customize the theme too add whichever icon pack you want etc
Edit - here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRa4CC62aw0&t=0m8s
The theme is called 'beauty for emui'
None of the Home Screen Launchers will change the Notification Bar and the font size - however the EMUI themes will change the text colours, so try going to Themes, and change to Beauty for EMUI, you will be able to see the Gmail subject line because the background on the notification panel is now white - but then a new problem arises, lol, the banner notifications that come on the top of the screen are all black!!

Unfortunately even Beauty theme has its shortcomings. Gmail notification buttons DELETE and REPLY are now invisible because of the white on white contrast. Anyone hasa better theme solution for this problem?
