How to change Status Bar's color Or just make it overlap the header?

[GodSpeed JP1]

My app's background color is dark.
But on iOS7,the status bar is always white BG style.
I want to make the status bar look like a part of the header.
So how can I change the Status Bar overlap the header?
Or change the status bar's style into dark style.

Hi -

Have you tried to control the status bar behaviour in the App Settings - iOS Keys?

Hi Illya,
It doesn't work.
I tried all sytle option, but nothing changed.
It is always white on iOS7,and always black on iOS6.

GodSpeed JP1, are you having the issue of the status bar overlapping your header in iOS 7?

Hello Mike,

Do you need Support team help?

I'm just curious to see if everyone has the issue of the overlapping status bar on iOS 7 or not. From the looks of the attached screenshot, the iOS 7 status bar isn't transparent and overlapping the app content.

Hello!

On App Settings--iOS keys please try setting the following keys

UIStatusBarHidden - YES
UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance - YES

This combination will hide status bar on iOS 6 version and show transparent status bar on iOS 7 version.
