BLACK Status Bar on Android MM 32.1.A.1.163 Xperia Z5

[RobertoDS]

Good evening

I've just refreshed my Xperia Z5 with Repair SW so I started without sort of errors with MM 6.0 

One bad thing I noticed :

BLACK Status Bar on your UI

On Lollipop you did a great job to adapt UI to the your predefinied THEME

For example : I chosed Red Theme and my all UI for = Dialer, Settings, SMS and so on ... had red status and title bar !

Now situation has come back to Kitkat :S What a shame !!!

That's really a shame when all Android System and Apps are going into a fully M.ANDROID and u, without reason, go back to a black status bar !

Tell me why please !

I don't get it, on my phone, the status bar adapt to the app color, as intended

Try to go into Calendar Sony, Settings and see ...

Same here!!! Gmail and Google play change the notification bar but in Sony apps it doesn't anymore

You can avoid this bad situtation with some themes by Mikal Ambroziak, a well-known developer for Sony Themes

I installed this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xtheme.rose&hl=it and I can avoid that horrible BLACK STATUS

Why did u do this Sony ?

An answer please !

Changes according to theme and app.

i've compiled this simple theme, can you confirm if the problem is still there?

With the new version, the default color is black but it can be changed by themes and apps. I'm afraid i don't know the background for the decision to use black as default but i will forward your feedback.

I have the same problem, it's occurred since the Google now launcher update back in mid February, the horrible navigation bar and status bar are not transparent on the home screen anymore. Google have yet to fix this problem, apparently it's mainly with the Xperia line of phones.

I can talk, here, for a lot of people out there who are blaming for this bad decision, because everyone of us doesn't like 100% this decision, without sense !

Rickard, please, do your daily nice job to take situation back how good it was, ok ?

We can't do themes for reporting back situation ...
