Move a UIBarButton Item Down A Couple Pixels - ios

Question

I have a pop up window that slides on screen when a certain button is pressed.
This view has a custom look apart from the rest of the app. It has an .xib file as well. I have managed to change the header background color by adding a customClass to the toolbar in IB. I have managed to change the text style of the title text... It took me some time to figure that out. What I had to do was make an IBOutlet from the title item in IB, then apply the changes in my m...like so
- (void)customizeAppearance
{
//Sets custom text attribures for this views headers text
[_customNavText setTitleTextAttributes:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor whiteColor], UITextAttributeTextColor, //sets text color
[UIColor blackColor], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor, //sets text shadow color
[NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, 3)], UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset, //Moves drop shadow by its coordinates
[UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica-Bold" size:27.0], UITextAttributeFont,nil] //sets text font and size
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}
and this function gets called once the view loads. So my text has its own style on this view only. Great.
So, maybe I am getting to picky, but now I want to move the text down a couple pixels.
This is what I did, I added the following code inside the customizeApperance function...
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setTitlePositionAdjustment:UIOffsetMake(25.0f, 25.0f) forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
But this does something interesting, it does not move my text down for the UIBarButtonItem I have just applied those styles too, instead it moves the text of the buttons on the nav bar, such as the cancel button.
So how do I move the UIBarButtonItem thats in the middle, containing text for the navigation header, rather than the text of the buttons on the side?

I think you might be looking for:
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleVerticalPositionAdjustment:1 forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
