[Xposed Framework Modules] serajr:
Gonna check them out!

Edit:

Sometimes I really don't understand why people hard code color values to raw layout (not ur fault). That's why you have no translucent header 'n' quick settings!!

Take a look at your status_bar_expanded_header.xml file contents, see the hard coded color values in red:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/expand_header" android:background=[B][COLOR="Red"]"#b3000000"[/COLOR][/B] android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<LinearLayout android:gravity="center_vertical" android:orientation="horizontal" android:background="#b3000000" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="@dimen/notification_panel_header_base_height" android:baselineAligned="false">
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Clock" android:id="@id/clock_expanded" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="8.0dip" android:singleLine="true" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.DateView android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Expanded.Date" android:id="@id/date" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="8.0dip" android:layout_marginRight="8.0dip" />
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.RotationToggle android:id="@id/rotation_lock_button" android:clickable="true" android:layout_width="32.0dip" android:layout_height="32.0dip" android:layout_margin="8.0dip" android:button="@drawable/ic_notify_rotation" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_rotation_lock_off" />
<ImageView android:id="@id/settings_button" android:layout_width="48.0dip" android:layout_height="48.0dip" android:src="@drawable/ic_notify_quicksettings" android:scaleType="center" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_settings_button" />
<Space android:layout_width="0.0dip" android:layout_height="0.0dip" android:layout_weight="1.0" />
<Button android:id="@id/clear_all_button" android:background="@drawable/somc_quick_settings_btn_default" android:paddingLeft="8.0dip" android:paddingRight="8.0dip" android:visibility="gone" android:layout_width="106.0dip" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/status_bar_clear_all_button" android:contentDescription="@string/accessibility_clear_all" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout android:id="@id/tools_row_0" android:background=[B][COLOR="red"]"#00000000"[/COLOR][/B] android:paddingTop="1.0dip" android:paddingBottom="1.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<LinearLayout android:id="@id/tools_row_1" android:background=[B][COLOR="red"]"#00000000"[/COLOR][/B] android:paddingTop="1.0dip" android:paddingBottom="1.0dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<View android:id="@id/statusbar_hr" android:background="@drawable/status_bar_hr" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0.0dip" />
</LinearLayout>

Lines 2, 12 and 13!!

Correct is point out android:background to drawables (pngs or xmls)!!

Edit 2:

Found a workaround to override hard coded colors. Wait till v1.6! ;)
