iOS7 White Status Bar Text

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has found a successful way to change the iOS7 Status Bar text to the color white?

Thanks

For anyone that may be interested, making a change to the Setting.plist in the LC Program directory in the iOS Runtime Folder has did the trick!
<key>UIStatusBarStyle</key>
<string>UIStatusBarStyleLightContent</string>

By default the string for UIStatusBarStyle is referencing a variable which comes from the standalone application settings
(which now needs to be updated to support the new methodology in iOS7 by the looks of things)

Now I think this could be expanded upon with an external so we could control the StatusBar throughout the Application.. Anyone done this already?
