hi, the status bar can be hidden correctly, but the background of my screen shows 20 pixel blank at where the original status bar was, how can I make the background image full the screen??
@George: I assume the issue is with views from interface builder. Make sure that you set the view dimensions to 320×480, by default IB makes them 320×460.
