Qt Quick 6.9.2 on Android 15 - status bar text invisible in Light mode (works in Dark)

[Grumegargler]

Hi all,

I have a minimal Qt Quick app on Android 15 (Qt 6.9.2) where the system status bar text/icons become invisible in Light mode (white on white). In Dark mode it’s fine.

import QtQuick
import QtQuick.Controls
import QtQuick.Controls.Material

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true
    Material.theme: Material.System
}

On Light mode, the app seems to draw a white background all the way under the status bar and Android keeps the status bar content light as well, so it disappears. What’s the canonical way in Qt to ensure the status bar text/icons are dark (or otherwise visible) in Light mode? Is there a built-in/control-level setting, or do we need to set Android window flags/statusBarColor manually?

Feels like a basic thing - pointer to the recommended/official approach or docs would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
