I am using the following code to change the font of UITabBaritem inside a subclass of UITabBarController . Its working in iOS 8 whether this code is compatible with iOS 7.
Thank you
[[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue-Bold" size:17.0f],
NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor whiteColor]
} forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue-Bold" size:17.0f],
NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor grayColor]
} forState:UIControlStateSelected];

I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with a problem I am having at the moment. I a m trying to change the actual font of the UITabBar, I have been able to chance the text colour and the colour when the text is selected. The code i have so far is here:
//Setting tab bar background
UIImage* tabBarBackground = [UIImage imageNamed:#"tabbar.png"];
[[UITabBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:tabBarBackground];
//[[UITabBar appearance] setSelectionIndicatorImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"selected.png"]];
// Changes Selected Image color
[[UITabBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:33.0/255.0 green:35.0/255.0 blue:38.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]]; //Icon colour
// Changes StateNormal text Color,
[UITabBarItem.appearance setTitleTextAttributes: #{NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor colorWithRed:214.0/255 green:69.0/255 blue:65.0/255 alpha:1.0]} forState:UIControlStateNormal]; //Colour of text when not seleted
// Changes StateSelected
UIColor *titleHighlightedColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:255.0/255.0 green:255.0/255.0 blue:255.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]; //Colour of text when selected
[UITabBarItem.appearance setTitleTextAttributes: #{NSForegroundColorAttributeName : titleHighlightedColor} forState:UIControlStateSelected];
I was wondering if anyone would know if it is possible to change the font here and if so how i would come across doing so? The code is located in the AppDelegate.m
Thanks in advance,
Harrison
Try adding it to the title text attributes:
[UITabBarItem.appearance setTitleTextAttributes: #{
NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor colorWithRed:214.0/255 green:69.0/255 blue:65.0/255 alpha:1.0],
NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont systemFontOfSize:20]
} forState:UIControlStateNormal];
You could use
[[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial" size:5.0f], NSFontAttributeName, nil] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
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 a UISegmentedControl that I'm trying to customize, and I'm having two problems :
This is my code :
NSDictionary *attributes = #{UITextAttributeFont: [UIFont fontWithName:#"Gotham-Book" size:14.f],
UITextAttributeTextColor: [UIColor whiteColor],
UITextAttributeTextShadowColor: [UIColor clearColor]};
[segmentedControl setTitleTextAttributes:attributes forState:UIControlStateNormal];
NSDictionary *selectedAttributes = #{UITextAttributeFont: [UIFont fontWithName:#"Gotham-Medium" size:14.f],
UITextAttributeTextColor: [UIColor redColor]};
[segmentedControl setTitleTextAttributes:selectedAttributes forState:UIControlStateSelected];
1) The UISegmentedControl reacts well for the UIControlStateNormal but for the forState:UIControlStateSelected, the color works but not the font. FYI, the font exists because if I switch "Gotham-Book" and "Gotham-Medium" for UIControlStateNormal, I see the difference.
2) Before I've set the font for the UIControlStateNormal, the text was vertically aligned, but now it's not anymore. How could I change the textInsets ?
Thank's for your help !
On IOS 7 use NSFontAttributeName, NSForegroundColorAttributeName and NSShadowAttributeName (if needed),
For backward compatibility I using both variants, like:
NSDictionary *attributes = #{UITextAttributeFont: [UIFont fontWithName:#"Gotham-Book" size:14.f],
UITextAttributeTextColor: [UIColor whiteColor],
UITextAttributeTextShadowColor: [UIColor clearColor],
NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont fontWithName:#"Gotham-Book" size:14.f],
NSForegroundColorAttributeName: [UIColor whiteColor],
};
[segmentedControl setTitleTextAttributes:attributes forState:UIControlStateNormal];
Appearance protocol only changes font of navbar's title.
iOS 5
You have to use the appearance protocol for UIBarButtonItem for the UINavigationBar tree:
UIBarButtonItem *barButtonItemProxy = [UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:
[UINavigationBar class], [UINavigationController class], nil];
NSDictionary *textAttributes = #{
UITextAttributeFont : [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:12.0f],
UITextAttributeTextColor : [UIColor whiteColor],
UITextAttributeTextShadowColor : [UIColor blackColor],
UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset : [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0.0f, -1.0f)]
};
[barButtonItemProxy setTitleTextAttributes:textAttributes forState:UIControlStateNormal];
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];
