[Xerte] Re: Customizing XOT Projects

Wed Nov 30 16:13:26 GMT 2011

Is there a way of increasing the height of the status bar at the bottom of
the screen.

If someone moves the buttons to the bottom of the screen then it would be
useful to be able to increase the height of the status bar to accommodate
the height of the buttons.

I tried the following in a script of the Entry Frame

debug("rootIcon.statusBarHeight = " + rootIcon.statusBarHeight); // returns
20

rootIcon.statusBarHeight = 40;

debug("rootIcon.statusBarHeight = " + rootIcon.statusBarHeight); // returns
40

but the displayed height of the status bar does not change.

Any ideas?
