title: Why can't we use a Translucent system bars with and ActionBar
body: <p>While updating my apps to Kitkat, I just wanted to give them a gorgeous look on KitKat using the Translucent property:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p><strong>Translucent system bars</strong></p>
  <p>You can now make the system bars partially translucent with new themes, Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.TranslucentDecor and Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar.TranslucentDecor. By enabling translucent system bars, your layout will fill the area behind the system bars, so you must also enable [fitsSystemWindows][4] for the portion of your layout that should not be covered by the system bars.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>My only concern is that I would like to use an ActionBar which sounds the opposite of what Google wants (both theme have NoActionBar:</p>
  <pre><code>Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.TranslucentDecor 
  Theme.Holo.Light.NoActionBar.TranslucentDecor 
  </code></pre>
  <p>As I don't plan to use some hacks or tricks to make it work, I just wanted to know if there was some correct way to achieve this or if this would be against Google guidelines.</p>
