I have a navigation bar in my storyboard and usually when you add a navigation controller to a view controller you get a nice cream navigation bar like this:
Instead of this however, I get a weird dark grey colour like so:
My question is how can I get rid of this annoying grey in the nav bar in the storyboard not in code.
Select Navigation Controller -> Navigation Bar -> Attributes Inspector -> pick color for background as you want
Here is the result (iPhone 5s's screenshot):

I want my SplitViewController to be embedded in TabBarController. I started with a Single View Application. Then I used storyboard to connect all controllers as shown on this image.
The navigation works fine, but the problem is at the top and bottom bar background colour. I would like to use Translucent Black Navigation Bar and Tab Bar. For some reason, the background colour of Navigation Bar and Tab Bar in master view is grey instead of purple (colour of master view background). In detail view the colour is fine. Problem is clearly seen on this image.
I tried to manually set the colour of NavigationBar but it didn't help.
So I am trying to use launchscreen.storyboard for my launch screen and I embedded in a navigation bar and a tab bar.
Now my app's navigation bar color and tab bar color is not the default color.
Is there anyway for me to change the launch screen's navigation and tab colors? ( there is no way to add in programmatically since luanchscreen.storyboard is not supposed to have class, right?)
or do I have to use images instead?
Step-1
select your navigationController -> click navigation bar --> change barTintColor
for E.g
I want my tab bar to be translucent and blur the content behind it, but when I set its color to clear color it turns black instead. Currently I have my tab bar created programmatically in the app delegate. I made a class function called getTabBarController and configured my tab bar in there, and I call it in app delegate to return the tab bar. At last, I write
let vc = TabBarInitializer.getTabBarController()
self.window!.rootViewController = vc. Am I creating my tab bar incorrectly? How do I make the tab bar be on top of my content so that the translucent effect works?
You have place view or content behind tabbar which you have to show instead of black.
So when tab transparent, view behind the tabbar become visible.
I embeded in a navigation controller to a viewController, and a nav bar item is showing (in the outline editor), and I can change the title, but the navigation bar is not showing in the (outline editor) and I therefore cannot change the bar tint color. So I tried adding in a nav bar programmatically, like this:
.h file
#property (strong, nonatomic) UINavigationBar *nav;
.m file
nav = [[UINavigationBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 50)];
self.nav.tintColor = [UIColor blueColor];
[self.view addSubview:nav];
And here is the outcome:
Update
Your last comment in above answer that "I made the color to blue, and it shows it blue in the storyboard" is conflict here.
I guess you are not able to set tint color for navigation bar. Because Storyboard won't show any color tint color for navigation bar, it's only visible at run time (In Simulator).
Even if you change tint color of navigation bar it still shows white color.
Lets have a look:
As "matt" said : You have to change bar tint color of UINavigationController which is starting point of your application. Select navigation controller which is initial root view controller.
Select Navigation Bar from left area below the highlighted Navigation Controller. In Attribute Inspector you can see properties for navigation bar. In this section you can see Bar Tint which shows Default right now.
Change Bar Tint color from properties as your need. Observation here is changes will not be visible in Storyboard, Bar color will remains white in Storyboard color will only visible in Simulator/Device.
See the output in Simulator.
Don't do that. Delete that code. The navigation controller already has a navigation bar; don't add another one.
You're looking in the wrong scene. There's a Navigation Controller scene and a View Controller scene. The navigation bar belongs to the Navigation Controller scene.
I was using the viewController that is flexible for the ipad and iphone. Now in that viewController I inserted a navigation controller for each viewController. (Which surprisingly xcode lets you do that. And at the time I didn't know it was wrong.) So I set the bar tint color at the navigation controller that was not the first one. (It was the second view navigation controller) It therefore had a conflict of which color to take, the color from the first navigation controller, or the current navigation controller.
When using the navigation controller or embedding a view controller in navigation controller, the navigation bar light grey color covers the status bar also (the carrier, time, battery, etc). When dragging a navigation bar onto the view controller, the status bar is still white. You can't change the height of the navigation bar...so how can I make everything look and feel the same? Here's the two images:
As you can see, Chat shows that white space above the nav bar, whereas Social doesn't...any workout for this?
In this case navigation bar looks like non-transparent.
Please check properties of navigation bar and/or initialization of this bar to be sure that it's transparent.
