I have followed the following tutorial to move my navigation bar down so it is not covered by the status bar in xcode 5/ios7:

[Status bar and navigation bar issue in IOS7](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18980925/status-bar-issue-and-navigation-bar-issue-in-ios7/19025547#19025547)

But now in iOS7 there is a blank space at the top where the status bar would be and I would like the navigation bar to fill this area too

For instance, Facebook/twittter/Instagram iOS7 apps have the navigation bar background behind the status bar too. How do I achieve this?

Sorry if I'm not being clear but really eager to get this sorted

Thank you!
