How do I change iOS status bar colour?

eLim

More noob questions!
I've tried googling this but I haven't seem to have come across anything that makes sense to me. Maybe I'm just dumb.

Anyway I'm referring to the status bar at the top of the screen that shows time, battery etc. How do I change the colour of that? I want it to match the red-ish background of my app.

Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks

You can change the status bar "style" via the UIApplication. setStatusBarStyle() function.
