Change color of translucent black UINavigationBar

Question

I stumbled upon this many times, never found a solution. A UINavigationController\'s navigationBar can be set to black translucent like:

self.navigationContr         


        

Answer 1

Once you know it, it's fairly simple:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blueColor];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.alpha = 0.7f;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;

The translucent property seems only to determine wether the main view should be visible under the navigation bar, and resizes the view appropiately.
