Hello guys! Where should I add this code: SideMenuManager.default.menuAnimationBackgroundColor = UIColor.clear to prevent status bar being in a black color.

Hello, I am pushing view controller on didselect in sidemenu controller but it will push viewcontroller in the sidemenu not in the root controller movie.zip

@frenkelor best I can tell, this is a regression or change in functionality in iOS 11 that I cannot easily account for. Whenever a navigation bar is not aligned with the window's top, the height is automatically reduced because it's assumed it does not need to allow space for the status bar.

A work around is to snapshot the main view controller and overlay the snapshot. I have not added this to the library as it would break existing functionality promises (menuPresentingViewControllerUserInteractionEnabled as well as screen rotation ugliness).

Example work-around, placed inside of your UISideMenuNavigationController subclass:

    private weak var screenshot: UIView?

    open override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated)

        if let screenshot = presentingViewController?.view.snapshotView(afterScreenUpdates: false) {
            presentingViewController?.view.addSubview(screenshot)
            self.screenshot = screenshot
        }
    }

    override open func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

        screenshot?.removeFromSuperview()
    }

@jonkykong Thank you for the snippet. If landscape mode is not needed it's a good workaround!
