@abekkala I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors.

[bernhardoj]

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

The status bar text is white which makes it invisible in light mode.

What is the root cause of that problem?

We define the status bar style for the workspace list page as light content.

App/src/styles/theme/themes/light.ts

Lines 114 to 117 in 0a512c9

	[SCREENS.SETTINGS.WORKSPACES]: {
	backgroundColor: colors.productLight100,
	statusBarStyle: CONST.STATUS_BAR_STYLE.LIGHT_CONTENT,
	},

This value is used in CustomStatusBarAndBackground. Because it's set to light content, the status bar color becomes white.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Change the status bar style to dark content.
CONST.STATUS_BAR_STYLE.DARK_CONTENT

we might need to check for other page too

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

Workspaces - Status bar is white in workspace list when app is in light mode

What is the root cause of that problem?

Only in the Workspace Setting Page i.e. Here :

App/src/styles/theme/themes/light.ts

Lines 114 to 117 in 0a512c9

	[SCREENS.SETTINGS.WORKSPACES]: {
	backgroundColor: colors.productLight100,
	statusBarStyle: CONST.STATUS_BAR_STYLE.LIGHT_CONTENT,
	},

we are using CONST.STATUS_BAR_STYLE.LIGHT_CONTENT, because of which the status bar is showing white content on white background.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

Since, there is a white background and white content case, we need to change it to CONST.STATUS_BAR_STYLE.DARK_CONTENT.

NOTE : NO OTHER PAGE NEEDS TO UPDATE THIS STYLE

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

N/A

[abekkala]

I agree that we should have dark text at the top when in light mode and light text when in dark mode.
It seems we're keeping light text in both modes.

[shawnborton]

Yeah, that seems like a bug to me. Flagging @mountiny @luacmartins as I think this is related to the ideal-nav v2 changes.

Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

In Workspace Setting Page - Status bar is white in workspace list when app is in light mode

What is the root cause of that problem?

In Workspace Setting Page :

App/src/styles/theme/themes/light.ts

Lines 114 to 118 in d17b4df

	[SCREENS.SETTINGS.WORKSPACES]: {
	backgroundColor: colors.productLight100,
	statusBarStyle: CONST.STATUS_BAR_STYLE.LIGHT_CONTENT,
	},
	[SCREENS.SETTINGS.WALLET.ROOT]: {

CONST.STATUS_BAR_STYLE is set to LIGHT_CONTENT which is causing the status bar to show light content on white LIGHT theme.
Since the backgroundColor: colors.productLight100 is White and CONST.STATUS_BAR_STYLE is set to LIGHT_CONTENT, this makes the status bar appear white almost entirely.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

CONST.STATUS_BAR_STYLE should be set to DARK_CONTENT for light theme.

Current Behaviour:

WhatsApp.Video.2024-03-16.at.12.20.33.AM.mp4

After making the required Changes:

The Status bar will have STATUS_BAR_STYLE set to DARK_CONTENT and the status bar will appear correctly in the app.


@parasharrajat Please review my proposal.
