I have status bar where left part is on dark background and I have there light text content. But right part of status bar background is on the other hand white and I would like to have there black text.
Is it possible to set different colours of status bar content in left and right half. In left I have dark menu and in right I have content on white background.
I found solution but I have Split View Controller and then I can override in preferredStatusBarStyle differently in Master and Detail view controller. In general I think it will not be possible while having single view controller

I have a app that only have a form with a web view. When the web view scroll (it have a white background) the content slide behind the status bar, turning it transparent (only the battery indicator is visible. The rest text of the status bar was white and now is not visible).
I need the status bar to be opaque, and the content disappear behind it.
I try setting Status bar style to default, opaque style and none work. Neither putting the background color of the view.
I have a tableview controller which has an embedded navigation bar. I managed to make my nav bar transparent. Now I am trying to achieve a solid color nav bar when I scroll towards the bottom of the table view. I am relatively new to iOS development. So please answer accordingly. I have no idea about scroll views either. I am not sure if I need to add a scroll view or not. If I do, where do I add it? Above the tableview or below it?
Here are a few images of what I want to achieve:
Image 1: Transparent nav bar, but bar button items are visible
Image 2: Transparent nav bar becoming white, bar button items' color changing from white to red
Image 3: This is the final image, where nav bar becomes white and bar button items become red.
If we scroll back up to the top, everything goes back to being the way it was at the start.
It is not difficult to change the background color of the table view and every single cell. The difficult part is to animate this change with a sliding effect. As the dark color slides from the top of the screen to the bottom, you also have to coordinate the color change of the navigation bar and tab bar. Any ideas possible solutions?
I want to make my whole ViewController grey except I want the top area where it shows CARRIER and the current time to remain white. Is the only way just to stick a View that covers everything except that area, and set it to grey, or is there some way to set the entire background to grey and only set that one strip to white
The "top area with clock" is called a status bar. That bar is transparent and is displayed as the topmost view in a window. This means that nothing can cover the status bar.
You can show, hide and change the appearance of the status bar (changing the content from Light to Dark implies that the text colour within your status bar will be either white or black) by sending the appropriate message to the [UIApplication sharedApplication] object.
Now that you know a little bit about the status bar, I can answer your question:
In order to have a different background under the status bar than on the rest of the screen, you need to add a view with the frame [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarFrame]. Then you can colour the view property of the view controller differently than the view underneath the status bar.
Set your ViewController's view's background color to gray. Then add a white subview to it matching the status bar's frame.
Changing the status bar's text color in iOS7 is simple and there is a lot of information on that topic.
So, to give you some context, today I saw this tweet:
That links to this video.
I was wondering about how to do that animation and the best way I can think of is:
A screenshot of the status bar with black text color that is inserted on top of the real status bar (with white color) and then the real status bar is slowly revealed.
As #Edgar confirmed it it is really what they are doing in the video (if you keep the finger on the screen while the time changes it is possible to see that).
However, this solution isn't good enough because in the meantime the status bar can change and it can become kinda creepy.
Is there a way to do this without a screenshot?
When you start swiping it does a screenshot of the status bar and puts it at the top of the real status bar and then it changes to style UIStatusBarStyleLightContent to UIStatusBarStyleDefault.
You can clearly see this if you play around with it and start the swipe gesture but do not release it, not only after one minute the clock becomes outdated but if you happen to start swiping when the activityIndicator is on, you'll see it stays static.
Unfortunately, as far as I know there's no way to have two status bars, both with the right info. Maybe if you could come up with a way to continually take screenshots of the real one and dynamically invert colors, but that would be expensive, performance wise.
As i know the status bar color depends on the near by view attached to
status bar.
if it is connected to the navigation bar then status bar takes the
color of the navigation bar.
if navigation bar is hidden then the top view that near to the status
bar that color is taken by the status bar.
