I see what you mean. Mozilla has other props like that: " -moz-scrollbar-thumb-proportional" So it could be implemented as : "-flex-status-bar-overlap" And maybe: "-ios-theme"=ios7|classic But technically, there is no way of knowing that the status bar is overlapping, based on "os-independent"screen change). The only valid test at the moment is the following: - OS=iOS and version >= 7 + other iOS specific settings in air descriptor file. Same for ios-theme => the internal test is based on the os+version. Another point is that this same "os-version" prop was meant to be used for seting different skins for different versions of Androids ( suggestion from Om) Here again, we could have defined android-specific props such as: "-flex-android-theme=A|B|C" WDYT?

I think mozilla's custom properties is more on the right track. IOW, what is it about the screen that is or isn't changing? Whatever it is, while it got introduced in IOS 7, it doesn't mean that whatever it is won't be implemented in other OS's over time, or that there will someday be an option to turn that thing on and off. So if it is a status bar appearing, maybe the property should simply be called pop-up-status-bar, or maybe the code should be watching for changes to screen-height or something like that. -Alex
