From the screenshots, it looks like the HelloWorklight project is being used.
In the context of this application, you can add the following to the #header
in common\css\main.css
:
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
This way, when swiping Up the status bar will not cover the header...
You can take a similar approach in your own app.
Note that in iphone\css\main.css
you can alter the styling of the default white status bar that is "injected" by the Worklight framework.
