I have the following theme for light mode in themes.xml:

<style name="Theme.MainTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryVariant1Light</item>
    <item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/colorPrimaryVariant1Light</item>
    <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">true</item>
</style>

I definite night theme values in night/themes.xml as follows:

 <style name="Theme.MainTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.DayNight.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryVariant1Dark</item>
    <item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/colorPrimaryVariant1Dark</item>
    <item name="android:windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowLightStatusBar">false</item>
 </style>

The colors are white and black for colorPrimaryVariant1Light and colorPrimaryVariant1Dark respectively.

The background color of the status bar changes nicely, but the color of text and icons in the status bar remains white in both modes, so in light mode it is invisible on white background. How can this color be modified to be for example black in light mode? My minSdkVersion is 23 and I don't do any changes of translucency.

        View view = act.findViewById(android.R.id.content);
