How do I get a black status bar?

2014-08-12 Thread Rick Mann
I'd like to get a black-background, white-text status bar across my app. But I can't seem to figure out how. I set the Info.plist property for it, and set it to not be controlled by view controllers, but it's always a completely transparent background. What am I missing? Thanks! -- Rick Mann

Thanks for reminding me of that. I knew this was the case, but I'm fighting a designer who wants the black background. He threw the Facebook iPad app at me, showing that it puts up a black status bar when the side drawer is opened. I'll just point him at this link. The app looks pretty good

You could always throw an opaque UIView behind it. I did that same effect with a UIToolbar in iOS 7 for a blurred effect. hacky - Cody On Aug 12, 2014, at 4:34 PM, Rick Mann rm...@latencyzero.com wrote: Thanks for reminding me of that. I knew this was the case, but I'm fighting a designer

Yeah, that's what I wanted to make sure I had to do. I agree it's hacky, and I think this app can survive without it. Thanks, Rick On Aug 12, 2014, at 16:41 , Cody Garvin c...@servalsoft.com wrote: You could always throw an opaque UIView behind it. I did that same effect with a UIToolbar in
