Discussion of [UIToolbar setTranslucent]
Applying translucence to a toolbar is intended primarily for landscape orientation, when you want the user to be able to view the area beneath the toolbar. The default value for this property is NO. However, if you set the toolbar style to UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent, the value for this property is always YES.
