uinavigationbar

I have an issue in iOS7 where a normal UINavigationController pushed view controller has the correct status bar text color for the UINavigationController navbar color (which is a light gray, almost white so the status bar text is black). However, when a "modal" view controller is presented using -presentViewController:animated:completion: , the status bar text color is changed to white and is very hard to see given the color of the navbar. Navbar color is always the same across the whole app and does not change for each view controller. This happens on every -presentViewController call. "View

Is it possible to change the tint with animation for a smoother effect? This doesn't work for me: [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:nil]; [self.navigationController.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor greenColor]]; [UIView commitAnimations]; I a not sure if it is even possible using native apple components as I guess they will be using CG to generate the gradient ... just want to find out before I'll start building my own solution ... Cheers guys :) steipete You wouldn't believe the length I went through to actually make that possible; it annoyed me to no end that this isn't a stock iOS

This may be a stupid question, but is it possible to keep a right UIBarButtonItem across multiple views managed by a UINavigationController ? I have a progression of views that often share the same right UIBarButtonItem , but when I push a new view to my UINavigationController , I have to redefine the button every time, even if it hasn't changed. Mostly, the noticeable transitional animation from one view to the next is what bothers me because the exact same button briefly fades out then back in, which is unnecessary since there is no actual visual change. Should I consider just adding a

I'm following the second tip from here . In this tip two UIBarButtonItems are put together in a UIToolbar. Finally, the UIToolbar is added to the UINavigationBar. Now to my problems: 1) A white line is on top of the UIToolbar. If I increase the size of the UIToolbar, the gradient is wrong. I'm using the following size for the UIToolbar: UIToolbar *toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 90, 44.01)]; How can I get rid of the white line? See here: The problem is that there is a white instead of a grey line. If it would be grey, everything would be perfect. 2) What about the

I am fairly new in iOS programming and I am creating my first app. I have been trying to use the following code to change the navigation bar background image (this is using the new iOS 5 method): [self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"gradientBackgroundPlain.png"] forBarMetrics: UIBarMetricsDefault]; It works fine, but my image is 640 x 88 and it looks too big for the bar. It's like the system doesn't want to scale it, or do I need to do it manually? If I scale the image and create a smaller one it looks pixelated in the retina display. Any thoughts

I want to have an UIProgressView to show a progress on the bottom of a navigation bar (just like when sending an iMessage or text message in iOS 7). But I need this consistently on every table view view of my navigation controller. So for me it was clear: I have to add this to the UINavigationController. But the problem is, it's not possible to add an UIProgressView to the UINavigationController. So I tried out two things: 1st I tried to add it to UINavigationController's view programmatically. But the problem was to position the UIProgressView and to make it look good when changing device
