    Hey I’m trying to change status bar color for windows phone 8.1 javascript.
    First I enabled status bar with this piece of code in your default.js:

    var statusBar = Windows.UI.ViewManagement.StatusBar.getForCurrentView();
    statusBar.showAsync();

    Now I want to change the background color.
