*Status bar icon size
*Navigation bar height and width
*Action bar height
*Action bar title and subtitle size
*Alert dialog sizes, button sizes and title sizes
*Volume panel top
*Toast distance from bottom

More will be added. Please note that not all will work on all ROM's on all phones. Report problems on this thread

Changelog
Version 1.0.1
Fixed layout issues
Version 1.0.2
Fixed many issues with certain dimensions not sticking such as action bar height. Also fixed status bar height not working
Version 1.1
Gingerbread support (EXPERMENTAL!!!)
Fixed issue of force close when loading previous settings
App will now ignore empty fields instead of using default (so it won't override other apps)
Version 2.0
Rewrote the whole thing, more optimized and uses new Xposed API so now you can have any value

Works on Omnirom 4.4.2 Huawei Ascend P6, atlough the statusbar size is a little buggy. Combined with App Settings it can be put into good use for resizing the statusbar.

Excellent!!!

This might be of interest for at least a few.

This mod enables the navbar / softkeys on my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 running near stock TW rom (STS MK4). I have been searching for a mod that does this, as i've tried the manual editing of the CSC to disable the hw keys but never worked for me.

And I can shrink the navbar to 24 pts!

Click "Apply" anything did not happen.

Reboot required after change ...from what i've tested

Not much success on my S4, either. The status bar never changed, and I got intermittent effects in some apps' title or action bar. Yes, I rebooted after each attempt. I'm looking forward to trying updated versions.

Things working/not working

Working: statusbar height, action bar height
Action bar title size is kinda working, it shows up when I open an app, but when it fully loads, text size is back to normal
Not working (and tested obviously): statusbar icon size (could it be an incompatibility with gravity box icons?), toast message distance from bottom

Also, loading previous settings causes fc, and ad cover the "Visit XDA thread" button.

Load previous settings only works if you had some, i'll look into it. And new update i just released has fixed issue with ad covering the buttons. Thanks for letting me now

Hi

Still testing

Cannot you made possible to view changes just after a systemui reboot (like xuimod)?

This module replaces the values of dimens.xml inside framework-res.apk. It requires a reboot in order to reload these settings. I'll look into XuiMod and see how they're doing it, i suspect they have some sort of background service like GravityBox

Nope, already did, and didn't helped.

Maybe you are not aware, but G2 notification bar has big height comparing to other phones, so maybe it is already moded somehow especially that LG G2 heavily themed comparing to usual phones.

P.S
I'm using the stock ROM with 4.2.2 android.

This might be why, it works best on AOSP
