Customize on screen buttons - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sorry if this has been answered already but I was wondering if anyone knew of any app that would allow me to change the color of the on screen buttons, the glow when you press them, and the color of status bar icons. I would like to accomplish this without flashing any ROM's as i dont want to lose any data or have to reinstall anything right now. Is there anyway to do this on stock? Thanks for your help!

You can't without flashing a new ROM.

I'm reasonably sure there isn't. Try going through the settings (in particular developer options) and seeing whether there's an option like that.

It will only work on the homescreen as this is the only app that puts something behind the status bar, go to settings>hybrid properties> slide and choose apps then on your launcher tap status bar colour
I do this but I don't know who color to choose :sly:

You choose the color for status bar and set it black (default) and use the alpha slider above. Don't forget to hit apply!
Go to: settings>hybrid properties>slide and choose interface>go to the bottom and choose "status bar color"> there is a large bar with little cubes, slide this till the end then press "new color" go back and apply. That should work.

Doing it that way I'm getting some weird looks for some apps. Think it has to do that only the launcher is able to draw under the bars...
So I'd only try setting transparency for launcher app. Works perfectly here:thumbup:
OK thanks ! I apply this only on apex and its look good
One more question , I can do this on lock screen?

Think it is the android system app that you have to change. And rebooting is recommended.
This option doesn't work , thanks !

I'm on PA right now too. And transparency on lock screen works for me atm. Don't know why it doesn't for you though.
BTW would appreciate it if you hit the thanks button rather then saying thanks:beer:

It only works with system wallpapers or installed themes

It's on.
I have rooted my phone. And this is my screen.
I really don't see a difference with on or off

You aren't using stock launcher. Transparency only works with stock launcher.
THANK YOU!

Only the upper bar is translucent in 4.4.2 update, the down one still black, any help?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I also had this problem, I changed the wallpaper and that seemed to fix it. Weird. Failing that try a restart?
