I am trying to hide the statusbar but maintain the \"bigger\" navigationbar height. Right now when I hide the statusbar by setting - (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden to
- (BOOL)prefersStatusBarHidden
I had to do this once. I ended up creating a custom navigationBar of my own and then just set the frame as:
navBar.frame=CGRectMake(0, 20, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height);
It worked for me at the time. Just try it out.
