>The Transparent Status Bar option is intended solely for your home screen, and it only works if you have a static (non-scrolling) home screen image.
>It also can’t do a transparent status bar for any other apps. While most apps don’t use a transparent status bar, some–like Google Maps–will lose their transparency and use your default color option.

>Under Customize, you can make a few more little tweaks that I’ve found really useful, like setting a center clock and showing a battery percentage.
>Under the Notification Panel menu, you can change how the notification panel looks when you pull down from the status bar.
