Hey there,

As you see in the pic, my status bar is white over a light background. Can I change it to black somehow? I haven’t been able to find the setting.

Thank you in advance :)

    One of the weirdest software quirk honestly, like Apple realizes that the home bar might need to change colors depending upon the background color but don’t apply the same logic to the translucent color changing status bar, which arguably has higher priority to be legible.

    I would paste this into Safari, and log it as a bug. applefeedback://

    Apple can detect UI contrast and flip that component’s color. They should be doing it here.

      Cool thing! I didn’t know about this “hidden” app. I just sent the feedback, thanks for the suggestion.

        Yeah, Apple exposes it for beta testers, but they hide it for the general public.

        I made a shortcut for it - it’s pretty handy.

    I haven’t found a way, even the widgets are unreadable on some backgrounds. Kind of a miss on their part, unless I’m just stupid here.
