The title is deprecated. We use label instead.
For label, we can use corresponding attributes: selectedLabelStyle, unselectedLabelStyle.
For example:

bottomNavigationBar: BottomNavigationBar(
          type: BottomNavigationBarType.fixed,
          selectedItemColor: Theme.of(context).accentColor,
          selectedFontSize: 0,
          unselectedFontSize: 0,
          iconSize: 22,
          elevation: 0,
          backgroundColor: Colors.transparent,
          selectedIconTheme: IconThemeData(size: 28),
          unselectedItemColor: Theme.of(context).focusColor.withOpacity(1),
          selectedLabelStyle: Theme.of(context).textTheme.bodyText1.merge(TextStyle(fontSize: 12)),
          unselectedLabelStyle: Theme.of(context).textTheme.button.merge(TextStyle(fontSize: 11)),
          showUnselectedLabels: true,
          currentIndex: widget.currentTabIdx,
          onTap: (int i) {
            this._selectTab(i);
          },
          showSelectedLabels: true,
          // this will be set when a new tab is tapped
          items: [
            BottomNavigationBarItem(
              icon: SvgPicture.asset(IMAGE_ASSETS_ICONS_HOME) ,
              activeIcon: SvgPicture.asset(IMAGE_ASSETS_ICONS_HOME, color: Theme.of(context).accentColor),
              label: 'Home',
            ),
            BottomNavigationBarItem(
                label: 'Categories',
              icon: SvgPicture.asset(IMAGE_ASSETS_ICONS_CATEGORY),
              activeIcon: SvgPicture.asset(IMAGE_ASSETS_ICONS_CATEGORY, color: Theme.of(context).accentColor) ,
            ),
            BottomNavigationBarItem(
              icon: SvgPicture.asset(IMAGE_ASSETS_ICONS_ORDER_HISTORY, ) ,
              activeIcon: SvgPicture.asset(IMAGE_ASSETS_ICONS_ORDER_HISTORY, color: Theme.of(context).accentColor ) ,
              label: 'Order History',
            ),
            BottomNavigationBarItem(
              icon: SvgPicture.asset(IMAGE_ASSETS_ICONS_CART,) ,
              activeIcon: SvgPicture.asset(IMAGE_ASSETS_ICONS_CART, color: Theme.of(context).accentColor) ,
              label: 'Cart',
            ),
          ],
