Tinted Status Bar: Changes Status Bar Color According To App

Posted by Unknown
Wanna know how to automatically change color of status bar according to the app's color like in iOS6/7 and coming Material Design? This is done using Tinted Status Bar. Inspired the latest Android 4.4 fake leaks (whether true or not), implemented by Paranoid Android as manual tinting, and now, an Xposed module with automatic tinting for most apps.

This module tints your status bar according to the currently shown activity, it also allows you to customize the tint color yourself on a per app basis. You'll need to do that for apps where auto detect doesn't work.
It also allows you to have the KitKat gradient on devices that support this module, use 66000000 as the color to achieve that.
This app is made by MohammadAG. Thanks to him for creating this app.

Note: This tweak requires root permissions. So, better root your phone before installing.
