Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

The app status bar is not the same color on the home screen

What is the root cause of that problem?

The color that is set on the home screen is slightly different than the other screens

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

We can update

App/src/styles/theme/themes/light.ts

Line 96 in 07d97ef

backgroundColor: colors.productLight200,

to colors.productLight100. There's a corresponding dark theme that also needs to be updated to backgroundColor: colors.productDark100, for that screen.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

[jeremy-croff]

https://github.com/Expensify/App/pull/32512/files updated some of the theme background colors without adjusting the status bar

@jeremy-croff Thank you for proposal, can provide some screen shots of your solution working. Also does changing this color effect other places of the app?
