Description

Whatever I do to configure the status bar, when I enter in an external page via Inappbrowser, the status bar always conflicts (overlaps) with the content.

Due to the fact that the status bar inside the browser is always transparent (this is the problem), when I scroll the content it overlaps the text of the status bar.

I can remove the status bar (not a good solution...) but I would like to have it back when I return to the app, but this is not possible.

The status bar definitions made regarding the app, should also affect the inappbrowser content, but that doesn't happen.

I think anyway that Apple will not allow this situation.

The Statusbar plugin can't either configure the status bar for the pages opened with Inappbrowser and thus solve the problem. I can´t, for instance, use a StatusBar.hide() and show() back and forth.
