1. Colorful Status Bar
The status bar is one UI element that is seen on every screen. And, our beloved battery indicator just keeps lying in its corner. So, why not spice up this status bar. Why not turn it completely into a battery indicator? This colorful status bar is actually indicating the battery level. You can get this gradient status bar with an easy-to-use app called Energy Bar. You get two type of battery indicators in Energy Bar. A single colored line above the status and a full-width bar covering the status as shown above. To note the gradient style indicator shown above is only available in the PRO version. The single color style is available for Free. This single color line is also known as segments. You can create your own segments and add different colors to it. For example, you can give Red to 0-15% of battery level, Yellow to 15-45%, Blue to 45-80% and Green to 80-100%. But, this is only available in the PRO version. If you want a full-width battery indicator in the status bar for free then you should use Powerline.
