💻

Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

The iOS status bar shouldn’t be white when Actual is installed as a standalone web app.

The the following examples have a more streamlined top menu when installed as a web app:
https://cobalt.tools
https://mazanoke.com

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

The best solution would be to extend the purple background of the month switcher and it should change depending on your selected theme.

If not possible: use black if a dark theme is selected and keep white only for a light theme.
