Question

I’ve used this code to hide the status bar

[application setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];

On the view xib I have set the status bar to ‘none’ so there is no status bar.

When i run the app, the status bar has disappeared with the carrier, battery info etc. But is now a white bar, so in essence the status bar is there, but is white.

I have also tried changing it via the p list. But by me doing this, all my objects move ‘up’ and the sizing messes up.

Thanks

Be sure to set the statusBar hidden before you set the self.window frame, something like this:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    [application setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone];
    self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];

//rest of the code here

return YES;
}

Doing so the window seems to position itself without leaving space for the StatusBar, thus filling the whole screen
