Status bar color with Pixate

Question

I just found Pixate to style iOS apps. But I am having a problem with it.

When I style the navigation bar (in iOS 7) with the following CSS using Pixate

navigation-bar {
    background-image: linear-gradient(rgb(84,177,222), rgb(71,107,222));
}
navigation-bar title {
    color: white;
}

It does not style the status bar, which remains black. As you can see in the following screenshot:

However when I color the Navigation Bar in the interface builder the Status Bar does get the color of the Navigation Bar. As you can see here:

So I thought: "well I could set the color both in CSS and in the Interface Builder" but then the status bar turns black too.

Is there any way I could get this working with Pixate?

Answer 1

Try specifying the background-size in addition to your background color.

navigation-bar {
  background-size:64px;    
  background-image: linear-gradient(rgb(84,177,222), rgb(71,107,222));
}

That works for me.
