Change status bar icons tint

In Lollipop we can change the color of status bar background or even make it transparent. Let's suppose I want a light background (#eee). Status bar icons' default color is white, so they would become illegible. Is it possible to make them dark?

Solution

  • It's now possible in Android 6+ using this attr in style.xml: 

    <item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>
