Hi All,

Is it possible to add a UIView on the staus bar of size (320 x 20) ? I dont't want to hide the status bar , i only want to add it on top of the status bar.

Thanks

I don't know how but I know it is doable. The Feed reader app called Reeder does that.

As you can see from the screenshot, Reeder puts a small dot on the top right of the screen. When you tap it. The bar will fill the whole statusbar until you tap it again to make it small.

A small icon on the top right of the screen alt text

Note that placing an overlay over the regular status bar (the grey one) and the opaque black is simple. If your application has a translucent bar, you will need to hide it and place your own view in it's place (since placing a translucent bar on top of the original will only make a mess ;))

Absolutely brilliant.

Any idea how to rotate this view correctly?
