I remember when the S4 was released the taskbar was 100% transparent. After that they rolled out an update which made the taskbar semi-transparent. They have adopted this same technique with Note 3. Can someone show a way I can make the taskbar fully transparent? Thanks!

You can download the Xposed Framework application for the Note 3 but this requires ROOTING your device to be able to edit the low level functions to get your desired result. Should you wish to leave your phone STOCK, you can download the Super Status Bar which will allow you to achieve your desired results and then some:

Are you referring to the notification bar? Because mine is fully transparent I can't for the life of me find out where I set it, though....
Edit: Oh, it's part of Apex Launcher.

I installed a ROM yesterday and now my notification bar, once it's expanded/pulled down, has a certain amount of transparency... a lot more transparent than I'd like.
Are there any simple mods I can do to change the alpha values to make it more opaque or have I just got to put up with it? Or is it possible to install a different notification (expanded) screen?
Thanks.
The notificatiin bar can be modified from theme, so you have to find a good one for your rom.

I see, so I can't just modify that current screen? I have to overwrite the whole current theme? Was kind of hoping to keep it how it is and just get the background colour to solid black of the expanded notifications bar.
Thanks anyway, was beginning to think this could be a possible scenario.

Of course you can just change the background.
Thats how a theme is done, taking all the files and modifying them.
You would have to find the files responsible for the notification bar and change them to suit your needs.
How to do that i don't know, but i'm sure the forum search and google will help you out, when you search for something like "android theme tutorial" or something like that.
Does any body now how to make the status bar transparent.
I have googled for hours and can not find it.
Plz help
the status bar in gingerbread is transparent by default.
I think he means the top bar itself, not the dropdown background. Which iirc is not actually transparent, but lots of ROMs have it built in. Also, I think Kyouko should make it
BANG! from my shooter...
I am talking about the the top bar. I am running cm7.
the only transparent bars I can find are for hdpi roms.

Thanks kyouko. A little to much work for me though
To get transparency decompile SystemUI.apk
and navigate to /res/layout/status_bar_tracking.xml
and change the value to #77000000
and dont forget THANX if u liked....

but how to transparent the top bar?
First off, you'll need Gingerbread. That's the Android OS that supports transparency in the top bar. Second, you'll need something to change your top bar color. I do believe CyanogenMod 7 has an option for it somewhere. You'll have to change the alpha setting on it to adjust transparency.

i need a status bar !
My phone use to be rooted but when unrooting it i accidentally deleted the systemui.apk , is there anyway to get it back without rooting it again ? i tried downloading it & moving it to system/app but everytime i try it says "cannot be moved"
Hey xda,
I'm on 4.1.2 at this point, but 3.0 was my favorite update as far as aesthetics goes. I really like the Honeycomb fonts, colors and icons. My question is this: How do I change just the status bar clock to the original HC font while still on JB?
I have tried changing: (found at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937802)
AndroidClock.ttf
AndroidClock_Highlight.ttf
AndroidClock_Solid.ttf
Clockopia.ttf
and they didn't work. AndroidClock and the related files represent the lock screen click, and when I changed Clockopia, nothing happened. Is the font for the status bar clock in framework or SystemUI?
Thanks guys, keep rockin!
Just so you know, the Honeycomb time font for the lock screen had a solid and highlight part, which needed two layers. You'll only be able to use "AndroidClock.ttf" I think, since it's the "full" version. Not quite exact but close enough.
yeah, the clockopia one is blended and complete. do you know which font represents the status bar clock so I'll be able to change it?
Thanks for the reply.

I haven't used the Black Infinitium theme in a long time, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't change the stock icon shape, it just changes the the color... well... to white.
Unless you're referring to the default battery icon it comes with, which is definitely un-stock-like (is that even a word? ). However, that can easily be fixed. Assuming you're using the ROM you have listed in your signature...
LG Nexus 4: CrDroid Build 23

... You should have the ability to switch the battery style. I can't test this, as I don't own a Nexus 4 and have never used CrDroid, but according to the ROM's OP, it has the ability to switch the battery style to percentage text and battery icon... So I'll assume it does. Thus, if that's truly the case, all you got to do is apply the Black Infinitium theme, go into your settings, change your battery style to battery icon (or experiment with whatever other battery style options CrDroid offers) until you find the stock-like white battery icon. I know when I rocked AOKP and the Black Infitium theme, I could do just that. Hopefully your ROM can do the same. :good:
Anyways, let me know how it goes. Hopefully you get what you're looking for.

Thanks but it changes more than the status bar icons e.g. volume seeker and gives the phone a more darker look leaving it stock background colour
I got the white status bar icons needed but cant make a theme
Seriously, I have searched high and low for a LONG time, back to when I was running CM 9 and 10 on my Nexus S 4G for a theme that ONLY changes the status bar icons to white and have still came up with nothing. I feel like that'd be something in high demand and easy to find but I guess not. I mean, even changing the overscroll glow and highlighting would be nice. I've considered learning how to theme just do make one lol. If anyone could help us out, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, it's the media folder. The exact path is /system/media.
@fahadsul3man; Be sure the animation .zip is called bootanimation.zip and has the following permissions: rw-r--r--. Reboot your phone and you should be good to go. A suggestion, be sure to make a backup of your original bootanimation.zip in case you ever wish to revert back; this can be done by adding the extension .bak to the end of the bootanimation.zip.

Hi! why only with stock LG wallpaper I can see a full screen image in my home? with custom image, the topbar it's only quite transparent, not totally like stock.
how can I solve this?
Been having the same question. After some search, it seems that using the Xposed mod is one of the way to get a 100% transparent bar. Not sure if there are any other ways..

I'll let other, more informed G2 owners confirm this, but I believe that if you install wallpapers via an apk, the G2 sees those as "stock" and you can get a transparent notification bar. I am still exploring this.

Wallpaper as an apk..? Okay unless I'm going crazy from all the studying that is something new to me. I don't remember installing wallpaper.. However I did install apps that has a selection on wallpapers. After setting it thru the app, the status bar becomes translucent. Thanks for the info though. Will search around because I really liked the transparent status bar.

Let me re-phrase that:
I meant to say that you can find apps (apks) that install wallpapers - and when they do (I believe) the G2 will see them as "stock", not as "pictures" that are used as wallpaper. When those wallpapers are seen as stock, you get 100% transparency in the notification bar. This is what I think - still looking into it. Hope this is helpful!
Well it's pretty simples really ... the status bar icons are white and aqua, these would only be easily visible on a dark (non-white) background, which all the stock wallpapers are ... now if you use a custom wallpaper, I doubt the phone can detect what colour the wallpaper is, so to avoid numpties setting a white wallpaper and then wondering/complaining why their icons have disappeared, they have set it so that there is a semi transparent black bar for all custom wallpapers to ensure the icons can still be seen regardless of what colour the wallpaper is.
Simples.

Makes sense.
So is it the case that when you install wallpapers via an app/apk, the G2 sees those as "stock" and won't automatically apply the semi-transparent background? Just wondering...

I'm not sure about that, I don't tend to set wallpapers straight from an app, I always download them, I actually only really use the wallbase.cc app for all my wallpapers. (best wallpaper app).
But if was to take a guess, I would say that the phone assumes all the pre-installed stock wallpapers are compatible with a transparent status bar ... so if you get the phone to think your custom wallpapers are preinstalled stock wallpapers then it might work.
This could be just as simple as saving the wallpapers in the correct system folders along with the other stock wallpapers. Which might explain why if you set it from the app directly it works, as you're not actually downloading the wallpaper, so the app only saves it as a temporary file in the system folders, thus making the phone think it's a stock wallpaper.
Again, these are all assumptions, I haven't tested any of it so it could all be useless info ... but worth looking into .. I do like the transparent status bar.

I believe the phone came with a light blue sky wallpaper. That should have made the status bar translucent. But it didn't. Is it possible to put in wallpapers together with the system's default set? You just need to add pictures into the specific folder eh?
tried to achieve the same with GravityBox Xposed module and it works just as strange as observation in this thread. the status bar becomes transparent right after applying the settings no matter the wallpaper but it goes into the usual semi transparent mode right after you visit the app drawer for example.
