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];

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 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];
UPDATE ANSWERED. BY ME.
Currently having problems with the text color change of my UISegmentedControl; it needs to change on first load with UIControlStateSelected. Code works, but only conditionally. It works when you visit the page with the segmented control on the navigation bar, hit the back button, and then visit the page again. I'm assuming there's a problem with inheritance here. Let me explain..
The location of the the segmented control lies on top of my navigation bar.
Inheritance of the ViewController which contains the SegmentedControl:
TabBarViewController(managed with AppDelegate)-->navigation Controller-->ViewController(where 'inviteSegBar' lies)
Here's the code within AppDelegate.m:
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBarTintColor:[UIColor colorWithHexString:#"#669900"]];//this one sets it green.
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
And here's the viewDidLoad: code for the VC which contains 'inviteSegBar', the UISegmentedControl in question:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
//CUSTOM APPEARANCE <below>
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithHexString:#"#669900"];
inviteSegBar.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithHexString:#"#333333"];
[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor colorWithHexString:#"#669900"]} forState:UIControlStateSelected];
}
Like I said the last line works, but only when you re-visit the page. Why is this happening?
PS This is the same issue guys, I had already tried this code before any of the answers were listed.
ANSWER FOUND: Simply move
[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor colorWithHexString:#"#669900"]} forState:UIControlStateSelected];
to your AppDelegate.m file
Use
UIColor *whitecolor = [UIColor whiteColor];
NSDictionary *attributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:#[whitecolor] forKeys:#[UITextAttributeTextColor]];
[yourSegment setTitleTextAttributes:attributes
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
UIColor *grayColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor];
NSDictionary *attributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:#[grayColor] forKeys:#[UITextAttributeTextColor]];
[yourSegment setTitleTextAttributes:attributes
forState:UIControlStateSelected];
update
UIColor *whitecolor = [UIColor whiteColor];
NSDictionary *attributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:#[whitecolor] forKeys:#[NSForegroundColorAttributeName]];
[yourSegment setTitleTextAttributes:attributes
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
UIColor *grayColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor];
NSDictionary *attributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:#[grayColor] forKeys:#[NSForegroundColorAttributeName]];
[yourSegment setTitleTextAttributes:attributes
forState:UIControlStateSelected];
This code allows you to set some text attributes for label in segmented control:
NSDictionary *attributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor blackColor], UITextAttributeTextColor,
nil];
[_segmentedControl setTitleTextAttributes:attributes forState:UIControlStateSelected];
More allowed attributes in Apple documentation: link
This may help you:
UIAppearance proxy to set title text attributes but preserve tintColor for borders.
[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{
NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor redColor]
} forState:UIControlStateNormal];
For change UISegmentedControl appearance insert for example into viewDidLoad function this code:
// color selected text ---> red
[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{ NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor redColor] } forState:UIControlStateSelected];
// color disabled text ---> blue
[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:#{ NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor blueColor] } forState:UIControlStateNormal];
// color tint segmented control ---> black
[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor greenColor]];
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];
