Splash screen status bar color on Windows 10 Mobile

Question

I want to customize the color of the status bar that is shown during the splash screen.

What used to work on Windows Phone 8.1 seems to be broken on Windows 10.
I use a splash screen PNG and set the Splash Screen Background color in my package manifest to the same color that the PNG.

Here is the result with a Windows Phone 8.1 app running on a WP8.1 device:

And the same app running on Windows 10:

It's the same with Windows 10 apps, the status bar is always black.
Is there a way to have a colored status bar on Windows 10 Mobile?

Answer 1

It seems like this was a bug in the preview builds of Windows 10 mobile. It's now fixed (build 10.0.10586.11).
