How can I change the color of the default time, battery status, wi-fi connection area?

[Android Central Question]

I'm trying to find a way to change the color of the very top of the phone where it has the time, battery charge status - it's not the widget, it's the default stuff at the very top of the screen. At this time it's white and I can't see it at all against my screen saver...

You can only change it if your phone supports Themes and said theme supports changing Notification Bar icon colors/fonts. 3rd party apps like Substratum can change it too, but most of the time they either need root or aren't compatible with the latest versions of Android on some phones.
