iOS UIImageView bar transparency

How do you enable the top and bottom bar black transparency like this (in pic) ?

I want my UIImageView to be full screen.

The attributes inspector has options for enabling these features but it doesn't work at run time.

I was experimenting with this last year and still have some commented out code in the app. Anyway, I think this will lead you in the right direction. It's 4AM and I don't have time to test this.

Looks like the status bar on top can use this.

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyleBlackTranslucent];

For the navigation bar, one or both of these lines may be needed in your viewDidLoad method.

[[[self navigationController]  navigationBar] setBarStyle: UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent];
[[[self navigationController]  navigationBar] setTranslucent: YES];

For a UIToolBar it looks like this is what you want to look at.

[toolBar setBarStyle: UIBarStyleBlack];
[toolBar setTranslucent: YES];

iOS 5 has added the UIAppearance protocol which may be the new right way to affect those items. Looks like I played with that too. I have this line commented out in my AppDelegate.

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBarStyle: UIBarStyleBlack]; //UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent];

Thanks xStep. I'll try this when I get home from work.
