Hide (or dim) Android Wear Charging Icon

I created an Android Wear watch face with specialized content for when the smart watch is in its charging cradle, such that it makes a reasonable bedside clock overnight. We use big super-dim digits in this mode for comfortable night viewing (& display preservation). It's astonishing how annoyingly bright the tiny little charging icon is on some watches! Using the setWatchFaceStyle API and setStatusBarGravity I have (very limited) control over where it's positioned on the screen, but I can't find a way to eliminate or dim it. I assume Wear is designed on some level not to let individual watch faces screw up system icons, but I'm hoping there's a way nonetheless. Thanks!

There is a Method called setHideStatusBar(boolean hideStatusBar). This will hide any status information on your watchface.
