Notification on Statusbar

Post by Ghlave » 09 Sep 2014 01:19

Would it be possible to also choose the color of the text and icon that we place on the statusbar?

Hi,

Unfortunately Android does not allow to modify the color of notification icons dynamically so I would have to include pre-colored icons directly in Automagic which would greatly increase the download size if I would just add two or three colors for each icon. Additionally Android mandates to use only white icons so I would likely run into compatibility issues on different ROMs or future versions of Android/Android Wear.
I'm not sure if the same rules apply to text color. I will add this to the features under consideration.

Regards,
Martin

With external icons packages ??

Look at "Tasker", it does it with colored icons in custom notifications

Hi,

I've looked at ipack support once but it's overly complicated to create new ipacks and it might introduce compatibility problems in the future (for example icon resolution or problems since the notification is not shown by Automagic anymore but the ipack-app).
