How to customize the text color of navigationbar

Question

I am trying to change the color of the text that is the title of the navigationbar in UINavigation bar's drawRectangle and it hasn't worked so far. I am also wondering if it is possible to change the height of the bar in any way?

Answer 1

You could add a UILabel with the color you want and add it to the navigationbar instead of using the default title field.

titleView A custom view displayed in the center of the navigation bar when this item is the top item.

@property(nonatomic, retain) UIView *titleView Discussion If this property value is nil, the navigation item's title is displayed in the center of the navigation bar when this item is the top item. If you set this property to a custom title, it is displayed instead of the title. This property is ignored if leftBarButtonItem is not nil.

Custom views can contain buttons. Use the buttonWithType: method in UIButton class to add buttons to your custom view in the style of the navigation bar. Custom title views are centered on the navigation bar and may be resized to fit.

The default value is nil.
