Android 4.4 Kitkat has a lot of great features. One is the transparent status bar on the home screen. Unfortunately, Google doesn't force developers to put transparent status bars into their apps unlike Apple which does. Not even Google's own apps support a transparent status bar. So I want Google to force all developers to make the transparent status bar compatible with their apps.

Google continues to ignore this inconsistency while they leave their own apps looking unfinished and dated. I am tired of waiting for them to fix what they broke so keep pushing this until they finally pay attention.

This is stupid : Google knows that translucent system bars are unnecessary and often not recommended because they can have a wrong/bad usage with the global app design/ergonomics... but who care WE All want them !

its so annoying how some apps match the status bar and others just leave that ugly black block at the top. google needs to get it together and just standardize this across the board already.
