How to change icon position in status bar (AOSP ROM)

Hi,
Is it possible to change position of status bar icons (signal, battery etc.) by editing xml files? I'm making custom theme for personal use and next screenshoot will tell you exactly what I want:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I want to squeeze those icons a little bit since I've made them smaller (grey box is actual .png size so you can see wasted space in between).
I've found several theming guides but none of them explains how to manage icon position in status bar. Any advice? ROM is Oxygen (AOSP).

Nobody, really? Should I cook ROM from scratch?

[THEME][CM7] **Steel meets Revolution** theme chooser

Just getting around to sharing a modified theme for the theme chooser on CM7 I did while ago. Sort of my first complete bit of work so that it matched the first homescreen I designed.
Its based on the Elegant Steel theme by kevin2516. I also integrated the notification power widget icons out of revolution theme by taine(). Thanks guys!
I've changed the statusbar and some of the statusbar icons and a few bits and pieces in it. Feel free to use as you please

Yeah, I know we already have that kind of status bar somewhere on forum but if you look closely its not, this icons are little bit smaller, at different angle and smaller font on clock, its looks neat. Also the navigation bar has smaller icons..

Here is the picture of both new and old.

should work on AOSP 4.4.4 it was based from KTU84Q SystemUI.apk
and for the navigation button, have you heard SoftkeyZ?

Reduce vertical size of quick setting tiles

Hello I bought a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 that came rooted with Android 4.4.2 Audax ROM 10.9 and Xposed framework installed.
I have used Wanam Xposed to remove the text and indicator from my quick setting tiles but there is still 'space' there for these two items, I was hoping the brightness slider would have moved up to fill that space, so that I can see more notifications below. Does anybody have a suggestion on how to reduce the vertical size of the quick setting tiles so that my brightness slider is closer to them? Thanks.

Gravity box can do that

Notification bar changing color depending on application open

Hello. I just got my P 10 lite, and I noticed that the status/notification bar (that contains the clock, battery, signal icons etc) is changing color matching the color of the application that I'm into. This, in itself, it doesn't bother me that much, but when I open Google Maps it becomes transparent and I can barely read the clock and the other icons, and this is very annoying. Is there a way to make the status bar stay black or some other color? Thank you!

I would suggest to pull down the notification center, I know, it's annoying, but I think there is no solution for this.
