UIBarbuttonItem change the textColor

Question

I have these two buttons in a toolBar and wants to change the color of UIBarButtons how can i do such a thing? i\'ve tried setTitleTextAttributes, but it does not seem like it h

Answer 1

A UIBarButtonItem's color is its tintColor. (Or it can use the tintColor inherited from the toolbar you put it into.)

Answer 2

It seems UIBarButtonItems won't change it's tint color once they are added to the navigation bar.

What I did was to create a new one instead with new attributes.

let rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Title", style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(someAction))
rightBarButtonItem.tintColor = UIColor.white
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightBarButtonItem
