Recommendations
- Harmonize with Your DesignChoose a status bar style that complements your web app’s design for a cohesive user experience. For a dark-themed web app, "black" or "black-translucent" can enhance the aesthetic appeal.
- Consider UsabilityUsing "black-translucent" can make the status bar text hard to read on light backgrounds. Ensure there is enough contrast between the status bar and the content underneath it.
