Translucent status bar

[fynngodau]

Current Implementation

The Android status bar is displayed in black even when the app is displayed in light theme (white).

Suggested Enhancement

I believe it would look much better if the app had a translucent-like status bar, as that would give it a more modern look.

I implemented this for CCTG, and though my implementation is a bit hacky, I think it looks great – notice how the status bar is green after the green risk card was opened, and the gradient in the QR code view goes through.

Recently I reworked my implementation to be a bit less hacky: commit that replaces hacks with something that works better, commit that re-does the implementation for risk card (should maybe be done like the next ones as well), commit for edit checkin and QR code details fragment, commit for confirm checkin fragment.

Expected Benefits

Users might like the app more when it feels better.

I updated my original post with new commits from CCTG and a new screenshot how the QR code details view looks in our app.

Any progress on an upstream integration of this little UI/UX feature?
