Status bar font color

[jrobison]

I'm having no luck finding a way to change the font color for notifications on the status bar. If that's not a feature, it sort of limits the backgrounds we can use. Anyone else know?

Download good lock on the Galaxy Store and you can change all of that

Thanks. One of the reviewers said they couldn't change the color of the time and wifi signal in the status bar so I wasn't too sure. Can you confirm that it does the job I want?

Good Lock definitely doesn't do it for me. It will change the colors of the fonts and icons when you pull the panel down but not the color of the text on the notification/status bar, itself. So when I have a background that's light at the top, nothing is visible.

I'm surprised there isn't more about this. It's a huge limitation in that only background images that are dark at the top can be used as wallpaper.

You can change it with the Nova launcher.

I'll give it a try. I've never used or even wanted a launcher but maybe I need to explore. Thanks.

I also had this problem. Did Nova launcher work?

Yup, this solved the light background issue. Under Nova Launcher settings > Notification bar, check the box for the Dark icons box.

Doesn't that only change the color when you pull down the panel to get to the quick settings? It didn't change the notification bar font color so I still can't tell which notifications I have when the wallpaper is light at the top.

I've just tried it and they are correct it changes the text to black at the top of the homescreen without pulling status bar down, so you would see the WiFi strength etc if you had a white wallpaper on your homescreen. My wallpaper is dark at the top so when I changed it I couldn't see the text anymore. So yeh it works.

That's great news! Thanks
