How do you change the font of the Navigation Bar?
try like attributes with titleTextAttributes property...
let attributesDictionary = [NSFontAttributeName: UIFont(name: "your font name", size: 24)!, NSForegroundColorAttributeName : UIColor.whiteColor()]
UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = attributesDictionary
Try this code, this is written in Obj-C but you can get idea from here
[[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,
[UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue-CondensedBlack" size:21.0], NSFontAttributeName, nil]];
for more options on customization you can check this nice tutorial
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:#{NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor redColor], NSFontAttributeName:[UIFont fontWithName:#"mplus-1c-regular" size:21]}];
If you wanna change the font of all navigation bar, you can do this in OC:
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:
#{NSFontAttributeName:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:22], // font size
NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor yellowColor], // foreground color
NSBackgroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor blackColor]}]; // background color
this in Swift:
UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes =
[NSFontAttributeName:UIFont.systemFontOfSize(22), // font size
NSBackgroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.yellowColor(), // background color
NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.blackColor()] // foreground color
But if you just wanna change that of some specified view controllers, you can do this in OC:
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:
#{NSFontAttributeName:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:22],
NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor yellowColor],
NSBackgroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor blackColor]}];
and this in Swift:
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes =
[NSFontAttributeName:UIFont.systemFontOfSize(22),
NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.yellowColor(),
NSBackgroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.blackColor()]
Hope these can be helpful.

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 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 am using a UINavigationBar in my app with UITabBar.
On the first tab, the navigation bar title is coming properly as a white title with the default background color, but on the second tab it's not working in the same way. I'm not using any code to change the title color or the navigation bar's tintColor.
First view:

Second View:
Why is the second view's UINavigationBar title drawn in this black color?
Generally, you can not change default color of UINavigationBar Title. In case of If you want to change color of UINavigationBar Title than you need to customize UINavigationBar. so put code for your second ViewController for more Understanding.
EDIT:
After searching, I found that You can change title color of UINavigationBar by
self.navigationController.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[UIColor whiteColor] forKey:UITextAttributeTextColor];
This code is working in iOS5 and later.
Most of the above suggestions are deprecated now, for iOS 7 use -
NSDictionary *textAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor whiteColor],NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
[UIColor whiteColor],NSBackgroundColorAttributeName,nil];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = textAttributes;
self.title = #"Title of the Page";
Also, checkout the NSAttributedString.h for various text properties that could be set.
Try this in AppDelegate:
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor whiteColor]}];
This will allow you to change the colors
NSDictionary *navbarTitleTextAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor whiteColor],UITextAttributeTextColor,
[UIColor blackColor], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
[NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(-1, 0)], UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset, nil];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:navbarTitleTextAttributes];
Use this bit of code for iOS7 as UITextAttributeTextColor has been deprecated.
self.navigationController.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[UIColor orangeColor] forKey:NSForegroundColorAttributeName];
This code changes the text of all the navigationBar, with this code the text can be customized 100%.
in appDelegate:
//custom text navBar
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor colorWithRed:0x73/255.0 green:0x47/255.0 blue:0x41/255.0 alpha:1.0], UITextAttributeTextColor,
[UIColor colorWithRed:0x1D/255.0 green:0x1D/255.0 blue:0x1B/255.0 alpha:1], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
[NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, 1)],UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset,
[UIFont fontWithName:#"yourFont" size:20], UITextAttributeFont, nil]];
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.
I have created a tabbar programmatically.
Can we change color of title of the tabbar item?
Default is white, and i m trying to make it black.
something like
tabbaritem.text.textcolor=[UIcolor Blackcolor];
Thanks
In iOS5 you use the appearance proxy to change the title color:
For a specific tabbar item:
[[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIFont fontWithName:#"AmericanTypewriter" size:20.0f], UITextAttributeFont,
[UIColor yellowColor], UITextAttributeTextColor,
[UIColor redColor], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
[NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0.0f, 1.0f)], UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset,
nil] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
Or replace self.tabBarItem with [UITabBarItem appearance] to change all your tabbar items.
If you want to change them all , I suggest you place the code on appdelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
Just something else ...
To set your standard appearance in iOS 5:
In your AppDelegate.m do:
[[UITabBar appearance] setTintColor:myColor]; //or whatever you want to change
Saves you a lot of work.
Maybe this updated code helps someone:
[UITabBarItem.appearance setTitleTextAttributes:#{
NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor lightGrayColor] } forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[UITabBarItem.appearance setTitleTextAttributes:#{
NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor whiteColor] } forState:UIControlStateSelected];
