A sleek battery icon, a glowing RGB bar, or a cute kitty battery — WITHOUT ROOTING your phone. Pick a shape, paint it your way, and Wi-Fi, signal and clock follow to match. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This app uses the Android AccessibilityService API. Here is exactly what it is used for, and what it is not. The core feature is drawing your chosen design on top of the system status bar.

Could you build this?
Partial The settings UI and icon drawing are vibe-codeable, but hiding and replacing system status bar icons through AccessibilityService depends on fragile OEM-specific system UI behavior and Play Store policy scrutiny.
What it would actually take: The stack is native Android (Kotlin) with an AccessibilityService and a TYPE_ACCESSIBILITY_OVERLAY window that draws custom battery, Wi-Fi and clock icons. The hard parts are reliable overlay positioning across Android versions and manufacturers, and getting through Play's accessibility-API review with a justified use case. That takes deep Android system-UI experience and device testing across many phones.
