Now i want to change the color & background of the title "Smart Analytics". I tried using a label & placing it on the title. But it has not worked. What is the way to do this ?

Answer 1

self.navigationController.tintColor = [UIColor greenColor];

Answer 2

use this

self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor greenColor];

Answer 3

Try with titleView property of UINavigationItem

@property(nonatomic, retain) UIView *titleView

Can be accessed like below In UIViewController inherited class.

self.navigationItem.titleView = myOwnLabel;
