How to change tab control background of header in silverlight 3? - silverlight-3.0

I'm trying to figure out how to change the color of tab headers in TabControl. The whole tab control has another color than white and it's why it looks so ugly.
Thank you

You can set the tab header color right into the TabItem tag:
<basics:TabItem BorderBrush="#00426b" FontSize="12" Background="#00426b">

How to make Tab Bar Item disabled and how to change color and transparency for disabled Item

Is there a way to make chosen Tab Bar Item look disabled programmatically?
I have Tab Bar, almost everywhere its Items look active (it is delete, edit, search buttons). But on some pages some of its Items has to be inactive, showing user that he can't edit/delete anything here. I'm thinking, is there a way to change the visual appearance of chosen Tab Bar Item? Or better to use just set of the Buttons?
all active items/buttons in a bar, screenshot
all active items/buttons in the bar, screenshot
UPD: Desigion for disabling Item found, but when I make the Item disabled, I need to change its colour. Now it has the same color as UITabBar.appearance().unselectedItemTintColor but with transparency. Is there a way to change color and transparency for disabled Item (make it coloured differently and not transparent), keeping the colour for unselected Items?
For required tabbar item try to set false for .enabled property.
Obj-C
.enabled = NO;
Swift
.isEnabled = false
Alternatively, you could make your tabBar dynamic and instead of disabling/enabling, only show the relevant items. This way, the items are always nicely displayed and you don't have any gaps as you have in your screenshot.

Remove gray tint from apps created with Titanium Appcelerator

In a project created in Titanium Appcelerator/Alloy I created a simple window with a TabGroup button. That button opens a modal window, which contains a NavigationBar.
Without specifying anything in the TSS files, a gray tint is applied to both the TabGroup and the NavigationBar(s). I'd like to remove it and make everything translucent, as it would look natively.
Moreover, you can see that the NavigationBar of the modal window is translucent during the opening animation, and then it suddenly becomes gray after the navigation.
If you want nav buttons in header-bar area, then your only solution is to use these two properties:
1- Window's barColor property
2- Window's translucent property
Using first property, you can set any background color in navigation header area, and setting 2nd one to false - you can remove the transparency which will show the actual color you apply using 1st property.
Moreover, you can use Window's navTintColor to tweaks tint changes in navigation header
+
You can apply font & color using Window's titleAttributes property.
titleAttributes : {
color : 'white',
font : { fontFamily : 'some-family', fontSize : 18 },
},
Here's a sample app I have created which shows demo of manual Modal Window animation for further fully customisation: Sample App for manual Modal Animation

How to set all views to a dark color and all text to white in iOS?

I'm using Xcode 6.
My app ist by default all white background and black text, text that is present in the title of the nav bar, the table views content, and the tab bar for example.
I would like that all my views (the tab bar and nav bar too) to be dark gray and hence all the text previously mentioned to be white.
Should I set it up for each view of my numerous view controllers, or there is a way to set it up for all the views of the app ?
Thanks for the advice and help
The right way would be to set it up everywhere manually yourself. Because it will be helpful for people in the future to see what you are doing and where.
Another way, which is equally correct would be to create your own customUIViews which would by default channge their colors to grey, and customUITextField which will turn their text white and same goes for labels.
Or use Categories on top of the existing classes of UI, and create a function setUpColor/setupFontColor, and call that function everwhere you want. (I would personally go with the very first solution.)

How to set status bar tint color on iOS 6?

As shown on Apple's September 2012 keynote, the status bar tint color varies between apps in iOS 6. For instance, Safari and Maps use a black status bar whereas Mail adds a blue tint to it.
Is it possible to set that tint color, or at least force it to black?
You can do it from the plist like Comradsky mention or in xcode 4.5, they added an option for it in the project summary.
Update:
several people were confused by this answer. Just to clarify, you cannot set the status bar tint to any color you want. What is described above is only to change the status bar tint during launch and choose the iOS 6 default status bar color behavior (which picks the color of the bottom row of pixels from your navigation bar).
I've just found how to do it !
In your "Project Summary", in "Status Bar", set "Style" and "Tinting" to "Default.
Then, jump into you xib or storyboard and add a UINavigationBar just below the status bar.
Set the UINavigationBar "Style" to "Default" and select the "Tinting" of your choice.
Run! :-)
If, like me, you don't want any UINavigationBar visible in your Interface, all you want to do is putting the UINavigationBar behind all the Objects, or set the "Alpha" to zero.
You can do that in a tricky way..
In the Project Summary select Status Bar Style Black Transculent from the drop down menu.
In application: didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: enter the following line of code:
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor]; //example color
It works fine for me.
The tint color seems to be determined by the average color of the bottom pixel row of the app's header bar.
See here:
http://www.cultofmac.com/173928/how-ios-6s-cool-new-adaptive-status-bar-works/
It is very easy to do:
just put up an UINavigationBar in your .xib/storyboard, make sure the style is default.
then add a tint. no matter how many views, with different tinted UINavigationBar's, you have your status bar will change its color.
There is no way in iOS 5. You can just change your bar style.
In iOS 6 you can do it in the info.plist:
It is now possible to set status bar tint parameters in your app’s
Info.plist file. You might do this to ensure that the status bar color
matches the navigation bar color of your app during startup. To set
the status bar tint, add the UIStatusBarTintParameters key to your
Info.plist file. The value of this key is a dictionary with the
appropriate values describing the navigation bar your app has at
startup time. Inside the dictionary should be the UINavigationBar key,
whose value is also a dictionary. That dictionary contains the initial
navigation bar’s style (with the Style key) and whether it’s
translucent (with the Translucent key). If your navigation bar uses
them, you can also specify its tint color (with the TintColor key), or
the name of its custom background image (with the BackgroundImage
key).

Edit:You can also do this in the project summary.

Cant change button colors and list-dividers jquery mobile

http://getwiddly.com/dm/index.html
I am having issues changing the color of the buttons when clicked. It seems its inheriting the default theme when you let go of the buttons click, as it turns blue. I would like it the "g" theme color or the color set of my own, not blue.
http://getwiddly.com/dm/index.html#lunchmenu
I want to set the list-divider color but I can customize the color. I want it green but when I apply the "g" theme for data-dividertheme it uses some other light color part of the theme instead the green part....So I applied it to the and it works....only after you highlight/hover the title, for example "SMALL PLATES...." if you highlight/hover this, it changes to the right color.
I would suggest rolling your own theme as editing the current jQM CSS can be cumbersome and you might overlook something:
