My navigationBar is black:
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;
but can not change textcolor in title, it has no effect, why?
NSDictionary *navbarTitleTextAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor whiteColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName, nil];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:navbarTitleTextAttributes];
Try using this code:
NSDictionary *navbarTitleTextAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor whiteColor],UITextAttributeTextColor,
[UIColor blackColor], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
[NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(-1, 0)], UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset, nil];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:navbarTitleTextAttributes];
Try this code.You can change your title color easily :)
self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = White;
self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden=NO;
self.navigationItem.title = #"yourTitle";
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:
#{NSForegroundColorAttributeName:White}];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{NSFontAttributeName:[UIFont fontWithName:kBoldFontName size:16],NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor blueColor]}];
It is working fine for me please try once.
I tried below code it is working fine.I am using Xcode 8 and iOS 10.2
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;
self.navigationItem.title = #"your Title here";
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:
#{NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor greenColor]}];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];

I tried to change title color like this, but it has no effect.
NSDictionary *navbarTitleTextAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor whiteColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName, nil];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:navbarTitleTextAttributes];
Maybe the problem that navigationbar style is black?
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;
Try this :
self.navigationItem.title = #"The title";
self.navigationController.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[UIColor redColor] forKey:NSForegroundColorAttributeName];
Use UITextAttributeTextColor instead of NSForegroundColorAttributeName for the key, and it will work :)
I try to change color of my tab bar items, because it always grey in unactive and blue in active.
So, after some searching I try to write this code it all my ViewControllers for Tab bar
self.tabBarItem.selectedImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:#"TabBarItemMenu_tabbed.png"]
imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];
self.tabBarItem.image = [[UIImage imageNamed:#"TabBarItemMenu.png"]
imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];
But it doesn't help me, and I always get
You can do this in addition:
Set tintColor attribute of the tab bar to set the color of the selected icon
self.tabBar.tintColor = [UIColor redColor];
Then you can use text attributes to recolor the text
for (UITabBarItem *item in self.tabBar.items) {
NSDictionary *normalState = #{UITextAttributeTextColor : [UIColor colorWithWhite:1.000 alpha:1.000],
UITextAttributeTextShadowColor: [UIColor clearColor],
UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset: [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0.0, 1.0)]};
[item setTitleTextAttributes:normalState forState:UIControlStateNormal];
NSDictionary *selectedState = #{UITextAttributeTextColor : [UIColor redColor],
UITextAttributeTextShadowColor: [UIColor clearColor],
UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset: [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0.0, 1.0)]};
[item setTitleTextAttributes:selectedState forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
}
// Edit
Since upper code is deprecated for iOS7, here an update:
[[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor whiteColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
nil] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor redColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
nil] forState:UIControlStateSelected];
I use the UIAppearance to change attributes of my title in Navigation Bar like so:
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [MM mainTitleColor]}];
But I have not found the way to make text underlined or italic, is there a way to do this without changing the font alltogether?
No. These properties you cant change unless font changing. Because the available keys under the appearance proxy are
UITextAttributeFont
UITextAttributeTextColor
UITextAttributeTextShadowColor
UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset
Change these properties to customize the UINavigationBar
If you looking for font change, then see the below example
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{
UITextAttributeTextColor: TEXT_COLOR,
UITextAttributeTextShadowColor: SHADOW_COLOR,
UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset: [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, -1)],
UITextAttributeFont: [UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial-Bold" size:0.0],
}];
Try this one.
You have to customise your navigation controller with adding a imageview.
UIFont *yourFont = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica-BoldOblique" size:[UIFont systemFontSize]];
if ([[UINavigationBar class]respondsToSelector:#selector(appearance)]) {
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"myimage.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{
UITextAttributeTextColor : [UIColor clearColor],
UITextAttributeTextShadowColor : [UIColor blackColor],
UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset : [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(1, 0)],
UITextAttributeFont : yourFont
}];
You can use :
Optima-BoldItalic
TimesNewRomanPS-BoldItalicMT
Baskerville-BoldItalic
HelveticaNeue-BoldItalic
TrebuchetMS-Bold
Helvetica-BoldOblique
You can try below code to make your text italic and bold.
NSShadow *shadow = [[NSShadow alloc] init];
shadow.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.8];
shadow.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1);
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes: [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor colorWithRed:245.0/255.0 green:245.0/255.0 blue:245.0/255.0 alpha:1.0], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
shadow, NSShadowAttributeName,
[UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue-BoldItalic" size:21.0], NSFontAttributeName, nil]];
[self setTitle:#"Title text"];
I have got UINavigationBar styling set in AppDelegate but it doesn't seem to be taking effect on my app. I am using XCode 5 and my code is as follows:
- (void) customizeApp
{
UIImage* menuBackground = [UIImage imageNamed:#"menu-bar.png"];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:menuBackground forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
// Customize the title text for *all* UINavigationBars
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:255.0/255.0 blue:255.0/255.0 alpha:1.0],
UITextAttributeTextColor,
[UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.8],
UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
[NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, -1)],
UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset,
[UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue-Light" size:0.0],
UITextAttributeFont,
nil]];
}
Im not sure what Im doing wrong and why its not working. This was working in XCode 4/iOS6
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:menuBackground forBarMetrics:
UIBarMetricsDefault];
This crashes the app:
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleColor:[UIColor darkGrayColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
Is there a way to do this using appearance?
This worked:
NSDictionary *textTitleOptions = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor darkGrayColor], UITextAttributeTextColor, [UIColor whiteColor], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor, nil];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:textTitleOptions];
Here's an example of how to do this in Swift:
UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes =
[NSFontAttributeName:UIFont(name:"Exo2-Bold", size: 18) as! AnyObject,
NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.whiteColor()]
That crashes the app before UINavigationBar doesn't have a title or state... Those are UIButton methods
You need
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor darkGrayColor]];
The #RyJ answer is great and worked for me. Thought I'd chip in that there's a good tutorial on this in Ray Wenderlich's site, titled (excuse the pun):
User Interface Customization in iOS 6
See the section Customizing UINavigationBar
Here's the code snippet for the navigation bar title, to change globally:
// Customize the title text for *all* UINavigationBars
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:255.0/255.0 blue:255.0/255.0 alpha:1.0],
UITextAttributeTextColor,
[UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.8],
UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
[NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, -1)],
UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset,
[UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial-Bold" size:0.0],
UITextAttributeFont,
nil]];
One other minor point is that it seems there's a default shadow on the title bar, so to get rid of it, you can't just remove the attribute. Instead you have to set a shadow offset:
UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset : [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, 0)]
for iOS 15
let appearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
appearance.configureWithOpaqueBackground()
appearance.backgroundColor = <PREFERRED BACKGROUND COLOR>
appearance.titleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor : <PREFERRED TITLE COLOR>]
navigationBar.tintColor = <PREFERED TINT COLOR> //for bar buttons
navigationBar.standardAppearance = appearance;
navigationBar.scrollEdgeAppearance = navigationBar.standardAppearance
I used following code to change the title bar's color.
NSShadow *shadow = [[NSShadow alloc] init];
shadow.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor];
shadow.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(1, 0);
NSDictionary *titleTextAttributes = #{NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor whiteColor],
NSShadowAttributeName:shadow};
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:titleTextAttributes];
Using modern syntax and code that actually runs, this is how to globally style your UINavigationBar title text:
NSShadow *navigationBarTitleShadow = [[NSShadow alloc] init];
navigationBarTitleShadow.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.5
alpha:0.5];
navigationBarTitleShadow.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(2.0, 2.0);
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{ NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor blackColor],
NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial-BoldMT"
size:30.0],
NSShadowAttributeName : navigationBarTitleShadow }];
Note: NSShadow's shadowBlurRadius property is not respected.
Note: Shadows are so iOS 6. Don't ever use them.
