## What it is
A small Android utility library that simplifies changing the status bar mode (color, translucency, light/dark icons) across SDK versions 19+. It allows toggling between colored and translucent status bars without recreating the activity.

## Use cases
- set the Android status bar color from an activity
- make the status bar translucent for full-screen layouts
- toggle status bar color and translucency without recreating the activity
- switch status bar icons to light or dark mode
- compatibly style the status bar with CollapsingToolbarLayout and DrawerLayout

## When to choose
- you need consistent status bar styling across Android SDK 19-21+ without editing styles.xml
- you want to switch between colored and translucent status bars at runtime
- you use CoordinatorLayout, DrawerLayout, or CollapsingToolbarLayout and need status bar compatibility

## When to avoid
- your minimum SDK is below 19
- you need a broader theming or UI styling solution beyond the status bar
- you prefer handling status bar APIs directly with modern AndroidX/Material defaults
