Tinted Status Bar [BETA]

This module is in beta (revision 8). Expect bugs on untested devices. I have made all precautions to ensure devices don't explode, but you may or may not encounter some bugs depending on how invasive your OEM's changes are.

Tinted Status Bar allows you to change the status bar colour based on the currently running application.
As of BETA 5, this is done automatically for apps that have a standard Action Bar. If an application does not change the status bar colour, configure it to do so manually in the settings app, the values in this spreadsheet will help you: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AibKJwYV-sTfdF9MZmk3a1JqZ2Z...

Devs, you can add support to your apps with this simple API https://github.com/MohammadAG/Xposed-Tinted-Status-Bar/blob/master/src/c...

Please visit the support thread for more details about compatibility and current issues.
