What I've tried:

• How to change Status Bar text color in iOS 7: tried the 1 & 2nd steps, didn't work. (the 3rd step would make all text in status bar white)

• modify the frame of the 1st cell in:

  - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath:
  
  // for the 1st cell, move frame up to cover status bar
  if (indexPath.row == 0) {
      CGRect frame = cell.frame;
  //  frame.origin.y -= 50;
      frame.size.height += 50;
      cell.frame = frame;
  }
