Can anyone explain how 6.5's Title and Bottom bar are transparent?

I have read several times over the past year that creating transparent bars that would be compatible with multiple themes would be impossible. Rather, the image creator would have to blend their theme with the top and bottom bars for each theme. So someone with some imaging background and has an idea what is inside of 6.5 build 21159 that would allow that to happen could you please explain this to me, thank you in advance.

I noticed this when I was working on my first rom. I have encountered many errors when the device boots over the past day after removing and adding files. This is what it looks like so far.

Last night I was capable of only having the highlighted items appear on the today screen. For example, if I was to select "Phone" it would become centered and the rest (favorites, voice, time and operator, text...) would disappear but I forgot what operations I performed to allow that feature. I was forced to restore all the files. However, it did look nice not having the today screen cluttered.

Cooking a rom is not easy, I learn better by visualizing and "hands on" rather than reading, which appears to be my only resource. I should probably take a few notes. Anyhow I am going to give it a few more attempts.


edit: I forgot to mention this theme is not mine. I do not know where it came from and there was no purpose for a rom to be released with this theme. So I apologize to the theme and icons creators' in advance.
