It changes on their native keyboard/emoji board, depending which of the two are open. I thought it would change the color automatically based on `UIInputViewController`, however it is not occurring with custom keyboard extensions:

If you wanna use other background color for the layout which differs with top and bottom edges, or want to keep status bar background color while switching apps, you could try to add two different views of different background color with height 50 or more (pt) in each layout nib. One constraints bottom alignment with top of the safe area, another one constraints top alignment with bottom of the safe area, and then make IBOutlet reference of these two views to set backgroundColor programmatically in code.

One thing you can do to solve this. Change `backgroundcolor` of your `ViewController's View` for `home indicator`. And set `status bar appearance` separately through `coding` as per your needs.

This will change your `home indicator`, `status bar color` plus a `safe area` to `Chocolate color`, Add `separate view` in `safe area` for your other `design`, as I've added `yellow`.

If you want different color for your `status bar`, call it somewhere from `viewDidLoad` with `color` you want -

func setStatusBarBackgroundColor(color: UIColor) {

guard let statusBar = UIApplication.shared.value(forKeyPath: "statusBarWindow.statusBar") as? UIView else { return }
statusBar.backgroundColor = color
}

Apart from this, You won't be able to do any other changes in `appearance`, at least for now till apple provides any way to control `appearance` of `home indicator`. let me show you.

These are the availability of bars, where you can control `appearance` of it. There is no `home indicator bar` option Apple has provide for it's alteration.

These are the only bars you can control appearance -
