Status Bar Color Scheme

The status bar color scheme changed on my Galaxy SIII. Both the Battery and Signal Strength indicator bar used to be green - now it is white...which i do not like. Is there a way to change the color back to its original state?

Why on earth would they change the color scheme of the indicators when they release the latest OS update? What the coloring scheme harming or slowing down the performance of the phone?

How to save status bar background color in local settings(Windows Phone 8.1)

I have given the user the freedom to change background colour and save it in local settings. But I am confused on how to save the status bar colour settings because I want to give the user the freedom to choose from 4-5 colours where background of status bar
can be changed.
public static void SaveStatusBarColor()
// get status bar color
var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView();
var color = statusBar.BackgroundColor;
// convert color to hex string
var hexCode = color.HasValue ? color.Value.ToString() : "";
// store color in local settings
ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["StatusBarColor"] = hexCode;
public static void LoadStatusBarColor()
// get color hex string from local settings
var hexCode = ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["StatusBarColor"] as string;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(hexCode))
return;
// convert hexcode to color
var color = new Color();
color.A = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(1, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
color.R = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(3, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
color.G = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(5, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
color.B = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(7, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
// set the status bar color
var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView(); // Exception Line
statusBar.BackgroundColor = color;
}This is what was suggested to me. Initially the app runs and saves the settings.But when the app is closed and restarted again it crashes.

Hi shriyansh,
Where did you call the method SaveStatusBarColor() and LoadStatusBarColor()?
I have called your SaveStatusBarColor() in the OnNavigatedFrom method and called the LoadStatusBarColor() in the OnNavigatedTo method, it worked very well in my side.
So I can not reproduce your issue.
Here are my code and result, please try to check it:
public class test
public Color colors { get; set; }
public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
List<test> testdemo = new List<test>();
public MainPage()
this.InitializeComponent();
testdemo.Add(new test() { colors = Colors.Red });
testdemo.Add(new test() { colors = Colors.Green});
testdemo.Add(new test() { colors = Colors.Gray});
testdemo.Add(new test() { colors = Colors.Blue });
this.NavigationCacheMode = NavigationCacheMode.Required;
public static void SaveStatusBarColor()
// get status bar color
var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView();
var color = statusBar.BackgroundColor;
// convert color to hex string
var hexCode = color.HasValue ? color.Value.ToString() : "";
// store color in local settings
ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["StatusBarColor"] = hexCode;
public static void LoadStatusBarColor()
//get color hex string from local settings
var hexCode = ApplicationData.Current.LocalSettings.Values["StatusBarColor"] as string;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(hexCode))
return;
// convert hexcode to color
var color = new Color();
color.A = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(1, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
color.R = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(3, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
color.G = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(5, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
color.B = byte.Parse(hexCode.Substring(7, 2), NumberStyles.AllowHexSpecifier);
var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView();
statusBar.BackgroundColor = color;
statusBar.BackgroundOpacity = 1;
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
LoadStatusBarColor();
protected override void OnNavigatedFrom(NavigationEventArgs e)
SaveStatusBarColor();
private void ChangeColorButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
var statusBar = StatusBar.GetForCurrentView();
statusBar.BackgroundColor = testdemo[Convert.ToInt32(Mytextbox.Text)].colors;
statusBar.BackgroundOpacity = 1;
The result:

Status bar colour

hi all
having read the odd thread on the matter, it appears that the status bar will always be visible, unless the app developer uses an "immersive mode" (http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z3-Compact/Status-notification-bar-is-always-on-screen/m-p/9831...)
I do find what appears to be a intrusive blue background though for the status bar in most apps, when the status bar isn't hidden.
However, I've noted an occasional status bar, which hasn't this hideous blue background and even the odd one which seems to have a transparent background (or just the colour of the app).
I'm assuming the blue default background is defined by the OS/OS theme?
If so, cannot the OS detect the colour of the app and match it, so it's less painful on the eyes?
Regards,
Gary

This is problem with Oracle forms, They design something and that might not work with other colors.
When they put color scheme to Khaki, Dont they think to give same visual attribute to give in property pallte,
Last time I had tought time integrating web utils built-in.
I do not know what to do get out of this silly stupid color issue.
I appreciate if any of forms designers thought of this issue.
Any feed back is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

[SOLVED] Vimperator 2.0 CSS file to colorize the status bar

With Vimperator's new stable release of 2.0, the old CSS file that controls the status line doesn't work anymore.
I had a lot of trouble fixing it. I looked up the names of a lot of items and converted the old scheme. That wasn't enough, so I copied the default css into my css file (at the top) and changed everything in there too.
Now I have a css file that is huge and has lots of duplicate data. It also has a white line between status bar and command line that I can't get rid of, and when you enter a : command the : is black on white, instead of red on gray like the rest of the line (there must be more items, I think I used an old CSS scheme (there wasn't one in the trunk)).
Anyway, I wonder if this can be made simpler and it'd be awesome if the missing stuff above can be added too. And hopefully someone can benefit of the below CSS anyway.
What it does: make the background light gray, give the status (top) line a dark gray top border, give status bar regular weight black text, and the command bar bold red text.

How can I create a status bar at the bottom of a window ?

I would like to create a status bar at the bottom of my main window similiar to "Internet explorer" has. I thought of using a tool bar but I can't see how to keep it positioned at the bottom of the window when the window is resizable. Any other ideas on how to do this the bar only needs to contain a small amout of text and maybe an icon or two.

CVI doesn't have a status bar control on UI element like the one available in Visual Studio++. The best way to replicate this is most like through a string control that is resized and positioned to remain at the bottom of the window and colored to look appropriately. I have also seen the combination of a decoration and a text message used.

How can I implement a status bar at the bottom of a resizable application?

Hello all,
I am a JavaFx newbie and I am implementing an application (a Sokoban game), with a menu at the top of the frame and a gaming area covering the rest of the frame. To support the game, I have to load images at certain positions in the gaming area.
The game also includes a level editor with another menubar and where images are set to other positions.
I implemented this in another view, swiching from the game mode to the level editor mode and vice versa is just done by setting the other view visible. Up to now this works, here the important statements building these details:
Group root = new Group();
gameView = new Group(); // for gaming mode
le_view = new Group()   // for level editor mode
MenuBar gameMenubar = new MenuBar();
Menu menuGame = new Menu(bundle.getString("MenuGame"));
... building the menu items and menues ...
gameView.getChildren().add(gameMenubar);
ImageView buildingView[][] = new ImageView[22][22];
for (nCol = 0; nCol < 22; nCol++) {
    for (nRow = 0; nRow < 22; nRow++) {
        buildingView[nCol][nRow] = new ImageView();
        buildingView[nCol][nRow].setX(nCol * 26 + 5);
        buildingView[nCol][nRow].setY(nRow * 26 + 40);
        gameView.getChildren().add(buildingView[nCol][nRow]);
gameView.setVisible(true);
root.getChildren().add(gameView);
... same stuff to build the le_view ...
le_View.setVisible(false);
root.getChildren().add(le_View);
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 800, 600, Color.CORNSILK); Now I want to introduce a status bar at the bottom of the frame, which of course has to follow the bottom of the frame, if it is resized. And of course the menu and the status bar should not grow vertically, if the height of the frame is increased.
The implementation seems to be easy with StackPane for the frame and one BorderPane for each mode.
For the first step I only tried implementing the game mode with only one BorderPane (just setting the menu, the gaming area and the status bar each into a HBox and setting these three HBoxes at the top, into the center and at the bottom). I also tried this via GridPane and via VBox; I always get any erroneous behaviour:
Either the menubar is visible, but the menus do not pop up the menu items, or the anchor point of the menu and of gaming area are set 100 pixels left of the left frame border and move into the frame when the frame width is increased, or the menu is set 20 pixels below the top of the frame, or HBox with the menu grows when the frame height is increased, so that the anchor point of the gaming area moves down.
Can you describe me a correct construction of such a frame? Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Gerhard

Hello Gerhard,
Glad the code helped, thanks for a fun layout exercise.
For the draft code I just pulled an icon off the internet over a http connection.
If you haven't done so already place any icons and graphics you need local to your project, so that resource lookups like:
Image img = new Image("http://www.julepstudios.com/images/close-icon.png");become
Image img = new Image("close-icon.png");then performance may improve.
Another possible reason for your performance problem could be that when you use a vbox, the vbox content can overflow the area of the borderpane center and might be sitting on top of the menu pane, making you unable to click the menu (which is what happens to me when I try that with the draft program with the vbox wrapping mod, then resize the scene to make it smaller). This was a trick which caught me and the reason that I used a Group originally rather than a vbox. I found a vbox still works but you need to tweak things a bit. The trick I saw was that the order in which you add stuff to the borderpane is important. The borderpane acts like a stack where the last thing added floats over the top of everything else if you size the scene small enough. For your project you want the menu on top always, so it always needs to be the last thing added to the borderpane, but when you swap in the level pane for the game pane, then back out again, the game pane can end up on top of the menu which makes the menu seem like you can't click it (only when the scene is sized small enough). It was quite a subtle bug which took me a little while to work out what was happening. For me the solution was to add just one vbox to the center of the border, and then swap the game pane and the level editor in and out of the vbox, that way the center of the layout always stayed behind the menu bar and the status bar.
I added some revisions to reflect the comments above and placed some comments in the code to note what was changed and why.

                                                          // because we can't rely on the scene background color
                                                          // because, if the scene is sized small, the status bar will start to overlay the game view

                                                          // to bleed through the transparent background of the statusBar.

    playGameMenu.fire();
    Scene scene = new Scene(gameLayout, 800, 600, Color.CORNSILK);
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();
}Other than that I am not sure of a reason for the slowdown you are seeing. In my experience JavaFX has been quick and responsive for the tasks I have been using it for. Admittedly, I just use if for a bunch of small trial projects, but I've never seen it unresponsive for a minute.

Can anything be done to change the white on grey color scheme in Bookmarks?

I just upgraded my Mac Book Pro to OS X Version 10.9.1. I was horrified when I got a look at what Apple has done to Safari! I have macular degeneration - which means that my eyesight is slowly fading away. Bookmarks was especially difficult because all of the bookmrks are shown with a white on grey color scheme. And when the "new" Apple color schemes are not white on grey - they are grey on white. I simply can NOT see anything which is white on grey. OR white on ANY light color. In order to be able to see anything, I need to have contrast. For example, as I type on this page, the scroll bar is grey on white. It has become almost impossible for me to find the scroll bar on most pages. Previously, my scroll bars where usually bright blue. I can see bright blue on white - but NOT grey on white. I can read white letters on BRIGHT or DARK Blue -but NOT light blue.
Apple has made SO many strides in makes computers accessable to those of us who have no other choice except to deal with disabilities! Can ANYTHING be done to change the white on grey color scheme which Apple has adopted throughout its system?
Now, in order to use my Bookmarks, I have to go to my Edit Bookmarks page. Even that solutation is not all that helplful, because the lettering on the Edit Bookmarks page is so small.
Also - I discovered that the "new" Mail pages had the same problem. For the most part, the "innovations" in mail make all of the pages too busy for me to be able to sort my mail or keep track of it in any way. I had to choose to return to the "classic" mail option to be able to get a reasonable facsimile of being able to handle my E mail accounts!
And, of course, once again, the scroll bar on my mail accounts is also grey on white - so it takes a lot of searching for me to just find the scroll bar when I need to scroll down in an E mail!
ALSO - I was equally horrified when I discovered that the Upgrade to Version 10.9.1 made it impossible for me to visit some of my favorite music pages - most of which use MIDI files! I can no longer hear any of my favorite MIDI music pages! I TUNES, of course, is in love with people like Lady Gaga - the type of performers - and performances - which have no relevance to older Americans.
I do volunteer work at a local Assisted Living facility and one of the greatest advances we have been able to make with Alzheimers patients is the way in which Senior Citizens respond to music from their time period. Unfortunately, most of the music which senior citizens prefer to listen to is music which has been preserved in MIDI pages. A few weeks before I "upgraded" my Mac Book Pro - I could take my computer over to the local Assisted Living Facility and play music from Hymn Time's Cyberhymnal or the Angelwinks tunes - but I can NO longer do that with the current Apple "upgrade" in version 10.9.1 - because the music from those MIDI pages can no longer be heard by anyone! The page comes up and you can see the writing - but no one can hear any of the music. We understand that a group in Switzerland has been working on an APP for I Phones which DOES make MIDI files accessable - so surely it should be possible to provide a way for Version 10.9.1 users to listen to MIDI files, such as those provided by Hymn Time's Cyber Hymnal or by Angelwinks!
You will notice that I changed the font for this to Arial Black - primarily because I could NOT see what I was writing when I first began - because, once again, the color scheme was grey on white.

Hi Grandma,

I shall ask the Moderators (Hosts) to move your discussion to that forum.

How to Insert a Status Bar to my application

Hello all
I use JBuilder v9 and would like to add a status bar at the bottom of the main
frame in my program. I checked the manual pages but there is no such class as StatusBar or JStatusBar.
When I type StatusBar (or JStatusBar) sb = new StatusBar (or JStatusBar) ();
it gives errror message.
Does anyone know how to add a status bar to a frame?

A quick a dirty example:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
public class StatusBarDemo extends JFrame
private JLabel statusBar;
public StatusBarDemo()
    JMenu menu = new JMenu("File");
    JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem("Open");
    item.addMouseListener(new StatusBarUpdator("Open a new file"));
    menu.add(item);
    item = new JMenuItem("Print");
    item.addMouseListener(new StatusBarUpdator("Print the current file"));
    menu.add(item);
    item = new JMenuItem("Save");
    item.addMouseListener(new StatusBarUpdator("Save the current file"));
    menu.add(item);
    JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
    menuBar.add(menu);
    setJMenuBar(menuBar);
    statusBar = new JLabel(" ");
    statusBar.setForeground(Color.black);
    statusBar.setBorder(new CompoundBorder(new EmptyBorder(2, 5, 2, 5),
                                           new SoftBevelBorder(SoftBevelBorder.LOWERED)));
    Container c = this.getContentPane();
    c.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    c.add(statusBar, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
public static void main(String[] args)
    StatusBarDemo frame = new StatusBarDemo();
    frame.setSize(400,300);
    frame.setVisible(true);
class StatusBarUpdator implements MouseListener
    private String hoverText;
    public StatusBarUpdator(String text)
      hoverText = text;
    public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e)
      statusBar.setText(hoverText);
    public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e)
      statusBar.setText(" ");
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){}
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e){}
    public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e){}
}

Persistant Status Bar Notification ... error 'SP.UI.Status' is null or not an object

I want to show a status bar that needs to be persistent on a page. for this I used the following in my master page
function ShowStatusBarMessage(title, message)
var statusId = SP.UI.Status.addStatus(title, message, true);
SP.UI.Status.setStatusPriColor(statusId, 'yellow'); /* Set a status-color */
HTML, call the JS method:
<a onclick="ShowStatusBarMessage('Title'!','Awesome message!')">
Display Status Bar message!
</a>
ref:
http://www.zimmergren.net/archive/2010/03/17/sp-2010-dynamically-displaying-messages-to-your-users-with-the-notification-and-status-bar-areas-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx
But what I want is
to call the function on load. So I used pushed ny function to _spBodyOnLoadWrapper using _spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("YourFunctionName");,
it throws an error 'SP.UI.Status' is null or not an object
Next I created and
deployed a webcontrol and did a registerclientscript, that too gives me 'SP.UI.Status' is null or not an object
// Define the name and type of the client scripts on the page.
String csname1 = "AlertScript";
Type cstype = this.GetType();
// Get a ClientScriptManager reference from the Page class.
ClientScriptManager cs = Page.ClientScript;
// Check to see if the startup script is already registered.
if (!cs.IsStartupScriptRegistered(cstype, csname1))
StringBuilder cstext1 = new StringBuilder();
cstext1.Append("<script type=text/javascript> alert('Hello World!');");
cstext1.Append("var statusId = SP.UI.Status.addStatus('title', 'message', true);");
cstext1.Append("SP.UI.Status.setStatusPriColor(statusId, 'yellow'); </");
cstext1.Append("script>");
cs.RegisterStartupScript(cstype, csname1, cstext1.ToString());
What am I missing ?
How can I get to show a status bar on load of any page, just as you get a health analyzer message when you get into the Central Admin?
Thanks, Mano

Ok, for some reason, it is not working for me. Below are the code that didnt work for me
<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowStatusBarMessage(title, message)
var statusId = SP.UI.Status.addStatus(title, message, true);
SP.UI.Status.setStatusPriColor(statusId, 'red');
ShowStatusBarMessage('Title!','Awesome message!');
</script>
This too didnt work
<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowStatusBarMessage()
var statusId = SP.UI.Status.addStatus('Some title', 'Some message', true);
SP.UI.Status.setStatusPriColor(statusId, 'red');
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("ShowStatusBarMessage");
</script>
I did try to register client script block programatically, that too didnt work
String csname1 = "AlertScript";
Type cstype = this.GetType();
// Get a ClientScriptManager reference from the Page class.
ClientScriptManager cs = Page.ClientScript;
// Check to see if the startup script is already registered.
if (!cs.IsStartupScriptRegistered(cstype, csname1))
StringBuilder cstext1 = new StringBuilder();
cstext1.Append("<script type=text/javascript>");
cstext1.Append("var statusId = SP.UI.Status.addStatus('title', 'message', true);");
cstext1.Append("SP.UI.Status.setStatusPriColor(statusId, 'yellow'); </");
cstext1.Append("script>");
cs.RegisterStartupScript(cstype, csname1, cstext1.ToString());
Any help appreciated.
But the below code works..
<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowStatusBarMessage(title, message)
var statusId = SP.UI.Status.addStatus(title, message, true);
SP.UI.Status.setStatusPriColor(statusId, 'yellow'); /* Set a status-color */
</script>
<a onclick="ShowStatusBarMessage('Title!','Awesome message!')" href="#">
Display Status Bar message!
</a>
Thanks
