White status bar for Oreo
Since Oreo doesn't let developers create overlays over system UI, the status bar white icons will be very visible.
As a workaround, why not use a white status bar on all apps so that the white can be (somewhat) dimmed, but the undimmable dark gray icons are - well - dark gray anyway.
Easiest way to see the difference is to toggle the dark theme on the app.
Maybe it's a good idea to use dark status icons (android:windowLightStatusBar
attribute which is implemented in Android 6.0). I will try it.
