Description

Hi all - Status bar color looks very outdated compared to Action bar.

Can this be offered as an option in menus that Status bar color is the same color as Action bar? Visually it looks alot more appealing.

Alternatively - would be great if someone could point to code line that renders this, I looked through it but without luck.

Research direction
Investigate the app's theme files in res/values/styles.xml and color files. The status bar color is typically set via the windowBackground color or a specific status bar color attribute like android:statusBarColor. Ensure the change is consistent with the action bar color. No existing PR or maintainer comments provide further direction.
