ios7 uisearchbar statusbar color

I have a UIViewController with a UISearchBar in it , a blue top bar and I set the status bar to white icons on ios7 so I can see them on the blue background.

While I perform a search though the blue top bar disappears and the white background of the screen hides the status bar content.

So, I would like to set the status bar color to Default (black) while searching and to white again while the search is closed.

Solution

  • I just hit this problem. Your options are limited. Either tint your search bar to a darker color, or set its style to UIBarStyleBlack to have a dark search bar.
