I really like the way my system looks with a higher density setting.
Unfortunately some things look better bigger or just don't look good at all / don't work at all in lower density settings.
Is there a way to size down specific UI elements in specific the statusbar?
My Xperia Arc screen resolution had changed and both screen and icons are smaller in size. Does anybody know how to restore the original size of the icons and the full screen size

How did it change in the first place? Sounds like you have changed your density? Stock density is 240...

I think as a result of a certain application download. Could you please elaborate more how i can adjust the density that u refered to.
Search market for "LCD Density" - I use one of the paid versions... Open it and inside you can change the value... As said before, stock value is 240...

Or you can just change it right in the build.prop why would you pay an app to do that?

I know the nexus10 has a 2560x1600 Resolution but that includes the Softkeybar (Home, Back, Options) which we cant hide. We need the "real" usabable resolution so we dont get on trouble with image cropping etc.
Does anybody know exactly how high the Softkeybar on the Nexus10 is or what the "real" usable Resolution for the Nexus10 is? I googled already but cant find any usefull information.
Would be great to hear something from you guys.
Best regards

Just a thought... take a screenshot. If it's less than 1600px high... minus the amount from 1600.
all screenshots i can find are 2560x1600. So that doesnt really help
I think it's 42dip.
for xxhdpi the ratio is about 1:3... So that would be about 126px (42px x 3).
EDIT:
Yep, this should help:

hm that confuses me. I measured it in photoshop on a 2560x1600 Screen shot and it was 96px. But i wanted to make sure so i hoped for some official info about that.
The DP stuff will be important when choosing sizes for UI Elementes but isnt relevant for the whole "whats resolution to work for" problem.
Isnt there any official Info about how many pixel of the screen height (in landscape mode) i loose to the Softkeybar?

This guide has some of the basic info for density calculations.
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
The value will be different depending on the device's current screen density, but below are the default calculations for the Nexus 10:
The navigation bar height is defined in framework-res as 48dp.
The device's screen density is defined in build.prop as 320.
The density ratio (screen density / android default density of 160) is 2.
48 * 2 = 96px so your measurement in photoshop is right.
You can also visually check using Settings > Developer options > Input subsection > Pointer location

I just come back to say yeah it was 48dp. I had changed mine using AOKP to 42dp.
The above post is good info.
I don`t use navigation bar or the notififcation bar.
On aokp roms i hide them with gmd gesture control. Very easy to navigate with gestures and have the whole screen real-estate to apps.
Hello, I would like to get down my dpi below 500, it is originally at 560. But when I do it, on main screen the applications bottom do not show their name
