Default (dark) content Light content The status bar: Is transparent When present, always appears at the upper edge of the screen Don’t create a custom status bar. Prevent scrolling content from showing through the status bar. Use a navigation controller to display content. Avoid putting distracting content behind the status bar.

Kidsruby.com Open iPhone SDK: Adding Application Badges - O'Reilly Digital Me If you’ve used the iPhone or iPod touch for any time, you’ve likely seen the small red badges that appear over applications on the home screen. These might indicate the number of missed phone calls or unread emails that accumulated since the user last opened Phone or Mail. There are actually two ways to go about badging applications: one, an extremely simple UIApplication call, the other a slightly more involved tunneling into UIKit. To set an application badge from within the program itself, use setApplicationBadge:. Pass it an NSString as its argument, limiting the string size to 4 or 5 characters at most. NSDate *now = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:0]; NSString *caldate = [[now dateWithCalendarFormat:@"%b" timeZone:nil] description]; [self setApplicationBadge:caldate]; To remove an application badge, pass the empty string, i.e. @””. The problem with the UIApplication approach is that to use it you must place your requests directly from the application.
