Transparant status bar on Android Kitkat (4.4.2) platform

These two are not working at the moment? It would be great if you could make it work in the future!

It's feature of system-ui, not applications. Impossible.

[RichardLindhout]

It is possible with windowstrancslucent or something in your themes (i added it but github removed the markup somehow)

See example apps at -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2623461

Here you go - http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.4.html#UI

Translucent system bars

You can now make the system bars partially translucent with new themes, Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.TranslucentDecor and Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar.TranslucentDecor. By enabling translucent system bars, your layout will fill the area behind the system bars, so you must also enable fitsSystemWindows for the portion of your layout that should not be covered by the system bars.

If you're creating a custom theme, set one of these themes as the parent theme or include the windowTranslucentNavigation and windowTranslucentStatus style properties in your theme.

Again: it's not possible to make a status bar a transparent. Action bar - yes, but not status.

Hmmm? see this app -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.klinker.android.twitter And one of the screenshots the 6th i think

You really are wrong now it is really possible in android 4.4 could you make it work I mean i don't need backward compitablity but it would be great if you could support the windowtransluscentstatusbar or something to add in your custom theme.

@RichardLindhout if you want it only for 4.4.2 it's possible but it's not a HoloEverywhere feature. Override the theme in values-v19 and add <item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>.

[Prototik]

Create your own theme and put attrs windowTranslucentNavigation/windowTranslucentStatus = true. HoloEverywhere is backward-compitablity library, all features should be available for all versions.

Ah great that was what I ment!! Sorry yeah you're right

I'll look after it when I'm home, I'm at school now.
