NavigationBar bar, tint, and title text color in iOS 8

Question

The background text in the status bar is still black. How do I change the color to white?

// io8, swift, Xcode 6.0.1 
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super         


        

Answer 1

To change the color universally, this code should sit in the NavigationController's viewDidLoad function:

class NavigationController: UINavigationController, UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Status bar white font
        self.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyle.Black
        self.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    }
}

To change it per ViewController you would have to reference the NavigationController from the ViewController and write similar lines in that ViewController's viewWillAppear function.
