Hi, I followed the Jetpack Compose Theming Codelabs tutorial to the letter but my status bar is still purple. Any ideas what I need to do? I would like it to be white in LightTheme and black in DarkTheme...

MaterialTheme {
    window.statusBarColor = MaterialTheme.colors.surface.toArgb()
}

You may also want to consider setting it in XML, so when the app is first launched it has the correct status bar color, instead of changing once Compose runs

<item name="android:statusBarColor">@color/status_bar</item>

Although then there isn't a great way to share colors between the XML and the rest of your theme in Compose
