Suggestion: White Status Bar (iOS)

[Entinty1999]

Currently, when HEADER_RED_STYLE is disabled, the status bar becomes this weird gray color. From what I can tell, this was never actually used in real YouTube. It should be possible to make it white as it is white in YouTube’s actual webapp (m.youtube.com) if you use a custom method to make it a webapp instead of Safari shortcut (which I also did on YTm15, but it did not make a difference). This could be implemented in #60 if legoskid knows how to change this.

YTm15 (BETA, but it occurs on vanilla too):

That's supposed to be the colour for the YouTube mobile android app. YTm15 was made with the Android app in mind, and mainly is supposed to match its accuracy, but I could make an expflag to make the status bar match the header color, since that's how it was in v17+

Oh, that makes a lot of sense. Could you implement an iOS status bar expflag similar to the spinner and animation ones?

Sure, I'll make one soon
