You can create a transparent status bar....it will appear that way in SOME apps, but some it wont.

To disable the status bar in an app you have to add this to every apps info.plist file:

Quote:
<key>UIStatusBarHidden</key>
<true/>
I am unsure of any other way to disable it in every app.

so there is no way for winterboards to make that happen without causing editing system files?

how can i create a .plist file in Windows?

Well, what your wanting to do is actually sorta theming each app. Not the OS.

Like I said, just using a transparent status bar should work for most apps, but I know there are some like the Weather app for example that will show the top of your background image where the status bar should be.

In those cases, you would have to edit the .plist file for that specific app. The file is located within the apps main folder, and can be edited in Wordpad in Windows.

There may be another way, But im tired and cannot think of anything else.
