copied!<p>You can easily accomplish this by creating your own window above the existing status bar.</p> <p>Just create a simple subclass of <code>UIWindow</code> with the following override of <code>initWithFrame:</code></p> <pre><code>@interface ACStatusBarOverlayWindow : UIWindow { } @end @implementation ACStatusBarOverlayWindow - (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame { if ((self = [super initWithFrame:frame])) { // Place the window on the correct level and position self.windowLevel = UIWindowLevelStatusBar+1.0f; self.frame = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarFrame]; // Create an image view with an image to make it look like a status bar. UIImageView *backgroundImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:self.frame]; backgroundImageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"statusBarBackground.png"]; [self addSubview:backgroundImageView]; [backgroundImageView release]; // TODO: Insert subviews (labels, imageViews, etc...) } return self; } @end </code></pre> <p>You can now, for example in a view controller in your application, create an instance of your new class and make it visible.</p> <pre><code>overlayWindow = [[ACStatusBarOverlayWindow alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero]; overlayWindow.hidden = NO; </code></pre> <p>Be aware of messing with the window key status by using <code>- (void)makeKeyAndVisible</code> or similar. If you make your main window (the <code>UIWindow</code> in your Application Delegate) loose key status, you will encounter problems with scrolling scrollviews to top when tapping the status bar etc.</p>
