+
+<p>The Material theme lets you easily customize the status bar, so you can specify a
+color which fits your brand and provides enough contrast to show the white status icons. To
+set a custom color for the status bar, use the <code>android:statusBarColor</code> attribute when
+you extend the Material theme.</p>
+
+<p>To handle the color of the status bar yourself (for example, by adding a gradient in the
+background), set the <code>android:statusBarColor</code> attribute to
+<code>&#64;android:color/transparent</code>. You can also use the
+<code>Window.setStatusBarColor</code> method for animations or fading.</p>
