add to home screen icons are great.

however, when adding to homescreen in ios, you get a big giant status bar that doesnt like to hide.
How to overcome this and is this function native in Newspaper already?

Hi,

I don’t quite understand what add to homescreen you are referring to. If you could provide some more details it would be helpful.

Thanks

On a mobile device, you have the option to “add to home screen” which is the purpose of having ios / retina icons. On this theme it is called bookmarklet located at: Newspaper – Theme panel — header —ios bookmarklet.

Adding to homescreen emulates a webapp experience. but with other scripts i have used, add to home screen will also hide the toolbar or give option to skin it especially in ios because the toolbar becomes huge.

Sorry for misunderstanding. I have tried adding the live theme demo to homescreen on an iOS device and also Android, but there is no extra bar added after doing it

We could test more if you could provide some more details about it, in which circumstances this happens. Provide a link yo your website so we can test with it.
