I installed Adblock Plus on my android smartphone. Now there is an "ABP" icon in the top right hand corner of my screen all the time. I am not up for this. Does anyone know a way to get the icon to stop showing?

How can I make the icon in the notification area go away?

We hear you, the icon is a bit annoying. But right now, it has to be there - otherwise the Android system will just stop the app, and it won't be able to block ads anymore. We have added an option to hide it - this is the best we can do.

By the way, wouldn't it be a good idea for the icon be in different colors to show the different states ABP is currently in?

Is it even possible for an Android notification icon to be in any color but greyscale?
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.
