I'm looking at some fascinate screenshots and notice some people have a black notification bar. Is there a setting somewhere for this that I'm just not seeing?

No setting. It is usually a theme that is being used. You will need to be rooted and deodexed to use a theme. There are some in the theme forum that will work for you once you are.
If CyanogenMod is ever ported over then there are settings built in to that ROM that can be used to accomplish this.

What if I wanted to darken the neon blue that you see on the loading popup messages? Could I do this easily myself?
There's a couple of themes that will do it. I use the Frost Remix NexTheme. Good ****.
Oh yeah I definitely know about themes (had about 15 different ones on my droid lol), but I thought these were stock screenshots because everything looked the same except the notification bar.

Upload is done. I just need to create an add-on fix for the bugs I found overnight.

This uses stock white background.
As to flashing it over a different ROM. I don't know. It could make the phone unusable so LollyROM is recommended.

how do I go about customising this theme on the Rom i'm using?
If the ROM is FRF91 base then you could just flash the two zips, but some apps may still be green. To use on a different base you would have to edit every and each apk. The quickest method is using XnView and converting RGB to GBR.
wallpaper please.

wow what a beatifull woman, who's she?

Thank you!
but I have one bug with checkbuttons (see screenshot)
I am aware of this bug but I will not be fixing it since it's a small bug and I would rather keep the checkboxes blue.
Now as many of you have seen, the stock wallpapers appear without the black bar (where you battery, time, etc. is).
But once you use a wallpaper that is not stock, the black bar appears so the wallpaper is black on the top. I tried to search for the place where you can save the stock wallpapers and tried to add mine there. But I couldn't find the place where the Samsung stock wallpapers are stored.
Do you know to make the black top bar disappear? I thought that was one of the improvements from the S3 but nothing has changed (unless you use the stock wallpapers)..
plus 1 on this one

I personally see this as a good thing. The lack of Black background for the status bar looked absolutely disgusting.
I personally don't like it. And I thought Samsung promised to change that (to make the bar transparent). Does anyone know how to do that?

+1. I 'm trying to figure that out, too...
What I don't understand (actually I don't understand most of the gaudy crap they've shoved into touchwiz)
is why they've made the status bar (when you CAN see it) this bizarre very dark red/charcoal esque colour, and not just pure black. At least with pure black you could completely hide it or meld it with a dark/nighttime wallpaper or something.
This one is just an eyesore.
WHY samsung WHY????!?! (first world problems.....)

this not a problem just a bit tiny thing m8! problem a very big is the lag that this has and will fixed soon enough in all countries.. focus at more vital staff. just a friendly advice!
Update: If you get the Nova Launcher 2.1 Beta version you'll actually be able to make the status bar transparent. Plus with Nova Launcher the S4 gets less laggy. Hope that helps!
Look in themes and apps, there is a blue theme with transparent statusbar.

How do you do this? I have nova 2.1 and I don't see a setting for transparent status bar.
As the title states, I've installed Screwd and I'm going for a red theme.. I've changed the clock and nav bar buttons via the ROM options, but there doesn't seem to be anything for the battery, WiFi signal, mobile signal and other potential icons which pop up.
Quite simply I'd like to edit them, an app would be preferable, I'm aware that I can edit some files to get the desired colours although I'd like to avoid that as its a bit of a ballache if you don't do that a lot..
Any ideas?
Thanks.
PS: I won't use xposed so that option is out.
Edit: just realised I hadn't put "Colours" I don't want to edit the image of the icons, just the colour.
Thanks again.
I'd check out layers.
However I use xposed for all theming needs. I would reconsider using it

Would layers be functional with a CM based ROM ? AFAIK screwd is CM based so not sure if this would work..will look into it cheers.
Edit: OK so as far as i can see, it is compatible but it doesn't alter the status bar icons..at least not on their own. Unless I'm not seeing something.
And no I wouldn't use xposed it murders battery life.
This is as far as I've got with it. ROM toolbox doesn't even have icons for cm13. So annoying.
Any other ideas
Anyone???
I've tried ModernUI for substratum (it's free) and it's great except the notifications are missing text because the background is black and some of the text is black.
Is there any theme that makes everything (settings, notifications, etc) dark but preserves the text properly? Don't want to buy, refund, repeat for all the themes on the play store. May get banned? lol.

Substratum doesn't work on stock so I barely think op means stock rom.
Nuclear rom has full support for it though.
The stock rom has issues with substratum, but any third party rom that uses OMS will work with substratum. I use Dark DNA theme.
Also look out for Compound. It's paid but looks very clean and professional. You can also get dark or pitch black paired with a horde of other colors. It is the best dark theme I have used so far.

Unless something has changed (maybe they have), Substratum _does_ work on stock, in legacy mode.
Best if used to theme third party apps. It's generally not advisable to try and theme the Android System, SystemUI, or ROM/brand/carrier-specific apps and Settings on stock ROMs.
Plus it's a bummer that on some ROMs the notifications text is hardcoded black. Trying to darken the notifications doesn't work out too well.

Dark DNA is a good free dark theme, but I've found one spot with unreadable text - the prompt that asks you which browser to use when clicking a link has white-on-white text.

The theme compilation fails always, using RR
Hello folks,
Recently I have been super invested in the art style from Persona 5. I've got a wallpaper from KWLP, set notification sounds and I even have a boot animation of the loading screen of that game.
I would like to know if there is any way to theme my system UI even further by replacing icons on the notification bar, nav bar, quick settings and so on. App backgrounds will be great as well.
So far, I've rooted my phone with Magisk on stock OOS 11 and have access to EdXposed.
I can make the icons myself so that would be no issue.
If there is any known way, please link me to a guide if there is any.
Any help will be appreciated!
Not sure it's possible to learn how to theme from a response in a thread.
Might be easier to use a framework like substratum.
Xposed won't help, in fact it'll probably hurt more than anything.
See if substratum may help. Also look up building a substratum theme, there may be guides already out there for that.
If you're talking from scratch and with no knowledge, I think this will be a very long thread before you're ready to start.
Great that you want to do it yourself though, dive in and try some stuff.
Is it possible to use Substratum theme engine in a non rooted phone, without unlocking Bootloader??

No I don't think it is, I think it was at one point but something changed
Try the Evo X ROM, the theme possibilities are endless.
Excellent ROM

Did you manage to find a way to theme the notification bar and nav bar? If yes may I know how?
