I've been looking around and it seems like the answer is no, but the posts are dated so I was wondering if this has changed. Is it possible to set the status bar to translucent? I'm trying to do a fade-in/fade-out effect on a multitouch tap but the status bar keeps coming up as solid black.
Thanks!
-- edit -- The code I'm using for the event transition is below. I have set the statusbar to translucent in the -info.plist, but I noticed there's no Black Translucent setting in IB (which is probably my answer: no translucent statusbar unless you're Apple.)
-(IBAction)showOptions:(id)sender
{
if ([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarHidden == YES) {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];
[UIView beginAnimations:@"fadeIn" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.25];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveLinear];
optionsView_portrait.alpha = 0.5;
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
else
{
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];
[UIView beginAnimations:@"fadeOut" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.25];
[UIView setAnimationCurve:UIViewAnimationCurveLinear];
optionsView_portrait.alpha = 0.0;
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
}
