Im using Android 5.1 rooted with xposed first of all.
Is it possible to make the top status bar larger, like you can the nav bar with gravity box? The reason im asking is because I have a lifeproof case on my phone which makes it hard to swipe down the top bar for notifications.

find a way to hide status bar completely either through your rom (i know aokp has that option) or find another app that does it. Then, get smart statusbar in the play store. free version does everything that you need but pro has some extra features such as the status bar reappearing when you get a notification.
When I swipe down to view the notification bar, everything shifts. The whole page shrinks and adds black bars to the side. On the video I watched about Themer, when he swiped down the notification bar smoothly came down ontop of the page. Not sure if I am missing a setting or if that is just how it is.
Screenshot would be nice

In the first image everything is fine.
Second image I swiped down to show notification bar and everything shifts and it adds black bars to the side.
Third image is when I hide the notification bar and somethings are still shifted.
We're working on themes that have the notification bar built in. Right now most of them hide it for a clean look, but you can gesture down to open it temporarily, and gesture up to hide it again

That is what I am doing. But in doing the gesture down to show the notification bar, it shifts the items on the page. I like that it is hidden and the gesture down and up to show/hide it. Just hoping it was a bit smoother and just overlapping on the page instead of shifting everything.

Looking at your screenshots, it looks like you have a modified notification bar. On stock devices, when you gesture down, the notification bar "floats" on top of the theme briefly and does not mess up the alignment. Try restoring your notification bar to stock configuration and you might have better results.

I had a mod for the status bar and I got rid of it and it works fine. Thanks!
Alright. This is an issue I have only had on custom roms, but never on a fully stock rom. I have the verizon V10, vs990. If I go into a fullscreen app such as a game or an app that hides the nav bar and status bar, I can drag from the right to show the nav bar, but none of the buttons work at all. This all happened after I accepted the 23A update (android 6.0.1) that I got just last week. The only way I can get out of full screen apps is to either drag the status bar down and go into settings, then go to my home screen, or open a fb messenger chat head IF I have one there, and hit the home button when that is open. I will note that having a chat head there or not does not change this situation. The nav bar is simply broken in full screen apps.
To anyone who has this issue, I have figured it out by accident. I had a battery bar application running. Android treats this as an overlay. It must have messed something up with the nav bar in full screen apps. I got rid of the nav bar, and everything works fine.
So it looks like the G6 has an awesome button at the bottom to pull down the notification shade so you dont have to stretch all the way to the top of the device. How about moving the notification shade to the bottom? This would make a lot more sense given how big phones are getting. Really the only reason you stretch to the top of the phone is to get to the quick toggles or notifications up top. Would be great if this came from the bottom to alleviate this.
Hi
Well, that requires a software modification, but if you want that button, it can be easily added if your rom supports Navigation Bar, you can add custom button and set function to pull down notification, and even if it doesn't you can add it with xposed and gravity box app.

More specifically, when I use VLC to watch a video, the navigation bar is minimized, and I have to tap the screen for it to re-appear. I was wondering if there was a way to always keep it in its position, where no app will minimize it. I have already installed the Nav Bar application to customize its colour and some of its behaviour. However, I can't seem to find a modification for the navigation bar to do exactly what I want. I want the navigation bar always to be present because I have dead pixels in the bottom left corner of the screen. By keeping the navigation bar black and always on, I will never notice the dead pixels.
