I disagree. First of all the background color(or the gray default background) of the card is under the status bar. One way to fix this is to put a black(or white) bar on the top of the card. One Problem, there is no way to find out the status bar height anymore. Am I missing something here?
In the standalone setting there are three status bar options. 1) Default==>The status bar text is black and merges with the card's background/controls. 2) Black opaque==> The text is white and merges with the card's background/controls. 3) Black translucent==> Same as #2. I see no difference. Rect observations......

John's right - on iOS 7 apps are full screen by default with a translucent status bar floating on top. This happens to native apps when you build under the iOS 7 SDK too. It's a platform change that apps should adapt to. Since the status bar is translucent it matters what goes underneath, so there's no good default for LiveCode to implement to hide this platform change. Note that this platform change also affects screenshots and default.png (the splash image - which if you're using it properly is not a splash screen at all but something that makes it look like your app is loaded almost instantly and about to fill in data - this does somewhat depend on the type of app, e.g. games almost all use it as a splash screen). The "splash image" now includes the status bar area.

Ralph... The top of the card could be the top of the device under iOS6 if the status bar was hidden... when set to translucent the top of the card is the top of the device... I don't see it as a bug.
