Hi, you are the second user to require this change, I think the same.

Which icon?

The "ongoing sync" icon is blue on purpose -- so it's not mistaken for the "new messages" icon.

Yes, I know that since 4.0, status bar icons are supposed to be pure white (and the system darkens them automatically), but hey:

1) there are plenty of apps with color icons still and

2) Android system colors are like skirt fashions... things always change and it's always "now even more incredible than ever before"...

( Personally I'm very disappointed with the grey accents in stock 4.4.... just not enough contrast... I guess it's called "minimalist design"... why didn't they go for The Black Square by Malevich? )

Blue icon in top bar is not super visible, as you can see in my screenshot posted today.
Cyan or white is more visible and in style with others.
Using the same approach in message list, add selectable color...  Do not kill me ;-)

Yes, the blue "@" not very visible because not everyone likes it -- responses like "what is that damned thing" have been known to happen :)

The "you got mail" icons are very, very close to white -- but the system darkens them automagically (with no way to turn off).
