title: IOS7 Status bar hide/show on select controllers
body: <p>I would like to show and hide the Status bar on some controllers. Can this be done or is it more of an overall app setting.</p>
  
  <p>I have seen many posts/questions about the plist update:</p>
  
  <pre><code>View controller-based status bar appearance - NO
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If this is completed what control is then given?</p>
  
  <p>I am looking to show the status bar on the main screen of the application. But for example on a side (slide) menu I would like it not to show, is this possible? Can this be changed in IB or code?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT -- 
  I am using a <a href="https://github.com/edgecase/ECSlidingViewController">https://github.com/edgecase/ECSlidingViewController</a> implementation.</p>
  
  <p>The main controller (showing the first page) should show the Status bar, but the left menu controller when it slides should not.</p>
  
  <p>I believe the issue is that they both sit within the same root controller (sliding view controller) so it is difficult to complete.</p>
  
  <p>Ideally if the home screen (main page) could take the status bar with it when it slides that would look best.</p>
