i added the statement
display.setStatusBar(display.HiddenStatusBar)
to my application to turn the status bar off and it is working fine. however, when i include a Default.png for a preload / splash image the status bar shows up while the splash screen is displayed. is there anyway to make that disappear for that brief interval?
