title: Clear background for status bar in iOS
body: <p>How can I set the colour of the status bar to be clear. No matter what I do, it is white with some alpha.</p>
  
  <p>I do not want it to disappear and I want the text to be black.</p>
  
  <p>In the picture it might look like nag bar and status  bar are grey but actually both are white with some blur affect or nag bar has blur affect and status bar is clear.</p>
