UINavigationBar set tintcolor tested in iOS7 not working?

Question

I have an app which have a UINavigationBar and I have set the tint color to black like this:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UI         


        

Answer 1

Fernando's and sanjana's answers have the key, but I'll just add something to make it clearer and more obvious.

The navigation bar has two properties

• tintColor
• barTintColor

It's a bit misleading when you don't think in iOS 7 terms.

tintColor changes the color of the buttons on your navigation bar. To change the background color, you need to set the property barTintColor.

self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor greenColor];

This code snippet will give you a white navigation bar with green buttons.
