make status bar translucent - swift

Question

i want to make the status bar translucent so that the it wont differ with the background image in app

i tried with this code

override func preferredStatusBarStyle() -> UIStatusBarStyle {
    return UIStatusBarStyle.LightContent
}

but it makes the status bar as white

i need the status bar but it should be translucent.

for navigation bar i used this in didload

    self.navigationController?.navigationBarHidden = false      // Show navigationbar.

    self.navigationItem.leftItemsSupplementBackButton = true        // To add back button.

    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem!.title = ""  // set nav bar title

    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backItem?.title = "" //set back button text


    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor(red: 0 / 255.0, green: 94 / 255.0, blue: 245 / 255.0, alpha: 1.0)

    //        setting navigation bar translucent background need 3 lines of code

    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), forBarMetrics: .Default)
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.shadowImage = UIImage()
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.translucent = true

any guess i am using simulator.

Do want the text color of the status bar white and the background of the status bar color to be translucent? — Jordan, Mar 10 '16 at 10:30
Have you defined the View controller-based status in the Info.plist? — Jordan, Mar 10 '16 at 11:06
@JohnGool i need custom status bar so that i make translucent in one page and default at some page — Aravindh Kumar, Mar 10 '16 at 11:38
Why don't you make the status bar white? Then it will show up on every view controller — Jordan, Mar 11 '16 at 09:22
its changes the ui look for this screen because the background looks different from the navigation(translucent) along with status bar — Aravindh Kumar, Mar 11 '16 at 10:11

If you are using Autolayout:

Add a constraint for the background image which aligns the background with a constant of -20 to the top of the container view:
