If you set the navigation bar color on a screen that is at least 2 screens from the 'home' screen, it creates a problem when going back. To see what I mean, try the following: Create an app with 3 menu simple screens, each one linked to another. Set a color for the navigation bar on the first screen, but not on the next two. Then run the app. If your experience is like mine, you'll notice that the color is set properly on the first screen, then is changed to the default (blue) color when going to the 2nd and 3rd screens. When going back, it stays the default blue when going from screen 3 to 2 (as expected), but also stays default blue when going from 2 to 1. Thus, the navigation bar color originally set has been lost. This seems to be due to the fact that the navigation bar and back button is set set when viewController is loaded, which is based on the current screen data. This data gets pushed forward once, but not more than once. So going back once is okay, but more than once is not. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have noticed how finicky the navbar can be using the mgoblue hack for using an image on the navbar. You set that image once and that is how it stays.
