How come when I add different themes they don't stay after a reboot? I'll add a whole theme...then just add a status bar from another theme and after a reboot it defaults to my first theme applied. I've tried different combos of adding themes and no go. Does it not work this way? Layers theme engine seems way better to me so far.

Don't use the whole theme. Use everything except the status bar. Then use the status bar from the other theme. You are trying to use two status bar themes at the same time. That's why it's not working.

I've noticed there isn't any mods to replace the status bar icons with custom png's as has been done with other custom roms. How would one go about to accomplish this. Really don't like the bland icons in Marshmallows ui. The only xposed module available is for Samsung touchwiz phones. Did a search to see if there was a guide online and at Xda, but could not locate one for Android 6.0.
There are CM themes and Layers mods that offer different status bar icons.

RRO layers overlays provide a pretty easy way to theme your phone on MM. Here's a collection that might be worth a look for what you're after.
If you start using layers be sure to make a backup before applying any, or learn how to delete overlays manually from the TWRP file manager. I've rendered my UI unusable a few times with layers. Like most things, you need a bail out plan in case things go wrong.
Flat Style Bar, check it out.

Aside from flashing a CM rom which actually has colorful icons in their themes, there's a lot of different white versions of icons for stock based Android roms. Was looking for more colorful icons like the previous Real Icons Theme use to provide.
Yes you can change the color to all blue or some other color, but you can't get different "colorful" icons.

It's Blue Hydra. I did tweak the blue a little bit with Xposed. The hex code I use is ff222cff.
The app indicates it supports Android 7.0 but i for the life of me can't get it to work. It looks like it compiles and prompts a reboot...but never see any changes or options for enabling after compile. Thoughts?
EDIT: Trying different themes i do see some of the apps being affected...though can't get navbar changes to stick...
Also the icon colors in the status bar font change. They all depend on the original v20 theme

Yep, good point. Guess i just have to wait for Xposed for my Navbar changes.
So I'm using this theme called pixel experience... It's awesome features -
1. Fully stock Nougat statusbar icons, rounded battery icon like lineageos a bonus
2. It can accommodate 14 toggles (yes, FOURTEEN)
My idea for theme...
1. Status bar from this theme
2. Quick toggle from this theme (Even themeing of toggle.. I kinda love it's stockish look )
3. EVERYTHING ELSE from default MIUI theme (I don't like it's icons and themeing of default apps)
Resources -
1. Pixel Experience! Link: http://zhuti.xiaomi.com/detail/cef0f8c1-7d2b-468c-97a5-e506a1bd77eb
2. Stock clone theme - eXtended 8! Link: http://zhuti.xiaomi.com/detail/f068e9a8-1bd1-48b0-a062-a35a5eef66e5
I don't have the default theme, I'd add it if anyone provides it's link...
Other users might show their support to this idea with their comments...

Sorry if I don't understand right, what you want, but you can achieve this without making a whole new theme. There's already a possibility to mix your installed themes. Go to themes app -> Tap on the little user icon in the upper left corner -> Customize theme. Here you can mix.

Thanks a ton... It worked ?
Is there any chance to change lockscreen icons look?
As I see icons are always default one from theme which is used. If I change app icon in drawer or on home screen, icon for that(same) app is still default on lockscreen.
Is it somehow possible to set your own icons? Maybe with root? But still don't know how ...
Root, Xposed (not sure about lg compatibility though?) or maybe via Substratum.
There are a few options available I guess
Thanks for advice. Xposed, good option.
But, yeah, I'm guessing too, because there's not much about that (connected with G6) on google.

If the icons were themed then they should stay themed on the lock screen? If you dont mind, which theme are you using? maybe there is another resolution of icon that needs to be added for this to be shown.
And which icons are they??
What launcher are you using??
I can say that i have found on my themes that even though i themed my icons, that when i press the home screen to change wallpapers that the original gallery icon shows up. So i may need to add different sizes and get those the right size.

Yup, I saw that theme also changes icons. I know that. You can also DL icon packages (MIUI) which also change icons, but they're not quit the same as original icon form package ...
The only problem is, that there's hard to found theme with all the icons. For example, non of original LG theme don't have exDialer icon.
So, a little playing with themes help somehow.

No sadly we cant theme non system applications with this theme engine. And what can do is still limited. We cant touch everything.
So yea you will need to find an icon pack that works. Sorry
i updated to android 8.0 today and the first thing i noticed after reboot is that some of my icons have white boxes around them. so i thought i would just change the icons to fix it. that did not work some of the icons did change but the white boxes remain. i then thought it was time for a theme change so i went and found a springy like puppy theme to use. that went badly also. None of the icons on the screen are from the new theme. in the screenie provided the green arrow shows the white box and the one icon that changed. the red arrow is the original themes icon set. the blue icon is the original theme icon with the white box around it. i have tried changing wallpapers and icons and themes but the icons do not change anymore.

Try to apply the theme again
And in settings there is an option to turn off icon backgrounds.

that did not work
only the home screen being affected made me thing.i had forgotten that i had installed the pixel 2 launcher in android 7. i went and turned it off and went back to defaults it all is working. so i uninstalled it and re downloaded it and reinstalled and it is working so it looks like the app did not like the upgrade.
looks like the theme hasn't been updated to make it compatible with Oreo.
it isn't the theme that has the issue as i tried 5-6 themes all having the same issue. it was the pixel launcher did not like being installed in android 7 then upgraded to 8. once i uninstalled the launcher and then reinstalled it all is working as expected.
i thought only i had that problem i use apex launcher on note 8 and after i apply theme or icon pack it is not changing
I just use the "vanilla" Samsung launcher, and I have this issue, even with a setting reset. I really don't want to do a factory.
I am having same issue but I have no launcher installed. Just using it theme. What I found is that the setting under
Settings - - > display - - > frame icons
is on and grayed out. Can't figure out how to ungray it

Are you using an other launcher then the original one ? That could be the problem.

It looks like Oreo has brought new feature called Adaptive Icons.
Apparently until developers would have enabled their stuff to support it you still be watching white area surrounding the legacy icons.
This is why I've switched to Nova, but unfortunately loosing numeric notification badges
