Hi,
I have recently installed 4.4.2 and my launcher is Go Launcher Ex,
The problem is with the wallpaper which is goes all the way under the screen keys and notification bar,
Since it’s a white wallpaper it makes the status bar almost invisible,
This didn’t happen to me on 4.2.2 where the status bar remains with black background,
Does anyone knows how to change this?
Thanks,
Ok , I guess this was quick…
I have managed to resolve this by going into Go Launcher “common settings” then remove the checkbox from “3D Core(Beta)”
Thanks,
This is an attempt to mimic the behavior found in the Google Experience Launcher. To make the nav bar see through. Since this is the behavior most Launchers are working toward, it might be a better idea not to use white wallpapers. Who knows when it won't be a switch anymore.

Can anyone point me to, or if willing, develop an app or widget thats only function when pressed is to hide/unhide the entire notification bar?
I'm on miui, and its launcher. However, hiding the notification bar is not currently an option in the launcher.
I do not want to use ADW or LP on top of MIUI.
I'm thinking something simple like the app HELLOSTATUSBAR.
Any help would be greatly appreciated I have been searching for days trying to figure this out.
Did you have any luck?
Just wondering if you ever found a solution. I am in search of a solution for my preference. I would like to have the notification bar off the screen so I can have a full screen.. if I want to see it I would just touch the top and it would appear and drag down as usual to see notification bar. I do not want to change my launcher as I would rather modify that one feature only.
If anything is currently available or if anyone could enlighten me on how to do this myself I would be very appreciative.
Try adw launcher with which you can associate programs and actions (including hide/show notification bar) with gestures (swipe up/down). An elegant solution if I do say so myself, which I do, often.

I tried searching for this but couldn't find it so sorry if it's a repeat. The status bar and navigation buttons are transparent when at the stock home screen. Is there any way at the moment to keep this going when using 3rd party launchers such as Apex? I understand it's the phone reading it as having an app open, therefor disabling of transparency, but I'd love to have that feature on the home screen of other launchers.
I noticed that the status bar only seemed to be transparent when an LG bg is used. Use a picture, and it is shaded. Also seems related somehow to the color of the buttons, but have not figured it out yet.
I am an Apex fan, but I think I will wait a bit before trying it.
Depends on where you get backgrounds

I believe it depends on where you get the images, if you get them from an app. I was using an app called Backgrounds HD and every time I applied one, it wouldn't scale it properly and the status bar and nav buttons would be black. If I uninstalled the app and used one called Picspeed, they worked just fine with transparency on the stock launcher.
As the titles says I need a way to have my navigation bar and status bar transparent on my home screen (nova launcher) and on the lockscreen. G2 Xposed transparent bars doesn't work on cyanogen. I also tried Tinted status bar and UDN light to no avail. Does anyone have a good app or zip I can flash that will do this for me?
Thanks.
I was able to get transparent nav bar and status bar on my Verizon G2 w/ CM 10.2 using Gravity Box Xposed module (Google it), while using Nova. Weirdly though, the nav bar transparency stopped working after a few days but status bar still works. I tried literally everything but no luck getting it to work again on nav bar. I think between CM and other Xposed apps i have, there are just some incompatibilities.
Also, I would suggest only turning it on for home screen, not lock screen because it looks weird on lock. And when you try the nav bar setting, put the transparency at only 50%. For status bar, you can do 100% though. Give it a try.

As just4747 said, GravityBox is probably your best bet, though i will say it is far from flawless. If you have your status bar set to 100% transparency, and your Nova Launcher drawer set to anything in between completely opaque and 100% transparent, the status bar will still be completely transparent. Though it does work with the Nexus 5/Kitkat/Experience launcher. And for me, making the nav bar transparent, I am only able to see my wallpaper going through half of the nav bar. But again, GravityBox is one of the best out there, so go for it! :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: Sooo, just after posting this, I updated my GravityBox (The other install was only a few days old), and guess what, the issues were fixed. Now it works perfectly with Nova Launcher. I'm currently using it, and I'm enjoying it, a lot! Though i will recommend buying GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys, you know, to get more screen space, and avoid the annoying transparency glitches that occur occasionally.
cyanogen mod 10.2( i have the same problem)
i m using xposed framework. the transparent status bar works fine on the lockscreen but dosent on the homescreen
i m on cyanogenmod 10.2(4.3.1) samsung s3 i9300
Rooted and working well. Unable to hide the bottom navigation bar using end apex launcher. When using the default Amazon launcher, the bottom bar fades after a second of non use. Not the same with apex. prevents a full screen experience.
Anyone having a similar problem?

You mean the bar still persists even in apps? Or just when you're in the home screen of the launcher?

I'm using Apex aswell. Download GMDAutohide Softkeys from the playstore. And run the program with start on boot enabled (I'd probably buy the 'Pro Version' otherwise the navigation bar has a red line showing). Then under apex settings you can turn the notification bar off. That's how I got mine to look like this:

Worked well. Thank you.
I have no idea how this happened. Running 7.1.1 Nova Launcher with KLWP background.
The quick settings icons are all gone besides wifi and carrier data.
Any ideas on what may have caused this? Any solutions?

Not sure where those are gone...
Maybe a workaround:
Tap on the pen between your photo and the gear icon, you can edit: add/remove quick tiles from here.
Are all your icons here?
Good luck...
I had that happen to me on Nova Launcher when I enabled Dark Icons for the Notification Bar under look and feel when I was using a dark theme or night mode, don't remember which. The icons were still there but I couldn't see them until I disabled dark icons.
Thank you guys, I was able to get the icons back by going through the pencil and re-adding them.
