Status bar style is being overridden after a popover is displayed

Yep makes sense - my first thought would be to change its visibility in tandem with whether there are any popovers to present, so the status bar returns to normal programming once all popovers have been dismissed.

An alternative approach I took a quick stab at this afternoon was attempting to present the view controller containing the popover within the same window. I've pushed a rough attempt at the idea to my fork, this might also help your other question (#3) as you can ask the window for it's scene via windowScene. I'll keep at it but you might have some follow on ideas/warnings from this!

@ShezHsky thanks for raising the issue! I’ll take a look.

Interesting, it does seem to be a problem with the presented window. Working on it.

Setting isHidden = true on the window stops the window from stealing the status bar focus. But of course, nothing shows up...

Woah, nice! Thanks again. I'll check it out.

Cool approach. There's some weird animations currently but should be fixable. I'll do some more testing with the view controllers and see if there's any drawbacks.

Btw thanks for WindowReader! Looks like exactly what I was missing.

In the meantime I'll add a bounty to that stack overflow question. There could be some random property that you need to set or whatever...

Seems like there's a private API that can help with this...
