Changing the colour of Navigation Controller bottom toolBar

Question

I am trying to change the colour of the bottom bar of my Navigation Controller. I have managed to change the top NavBar in my appdelegate by adding

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBarTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0.688 green:0.437 blue:0.794 alpha:1.0]];

I want to apply this to the bottom bar also.

Answer 1

You can use [UIToolbar appearance] to set the appearance of UIToolbar

Good luck

Answer 2

I had the same problem, but could escape this by setting a tag for my navigationBar in my storyboard. Then I could change the navigationBar's color like this:

let navigationBar = (self.view.viewWithTag(someNumber) as UINavigationBar) navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.blackColor()

This is not ideal unless you can guarantee that the number of subviews in your view is less than "someNumber". If you can though, then this should work.
