DJM Lost but trying Posts: 50 Reg: Aug 20, 2013 planet earth 500	confirm \| cancel 02/14/15 06:14 AM (9 years ago) Menu Simple modification questons - navbar title and background color Hi I chose the menu simple and have 4 items to select from on the menu 1) My navbar is blue color and the title is in black and the title is hard to read. Is there a way to change it to white? I can't seem to find a narbar attribute for font color. Just for giggles I tried using navBarTitleColor": but that didn't work 2) Since I have only 4 items on my simple menu, the bottom is white and I wanted to change that color to the blue . I tried "backgroundColor" 3) Is there a URL with properties listed for Navbar, etc? That would be a great reference? Thanks for helping a newbie.

Look around line 382 or so, and 'after' you see the line "end setup Nav Bar" is where you'll want to put your code. You have to setup your own little 'dictionary' of attributes, but just use my settings and change the values to suit your needs. NSShadow shadow = [[NSShadow alloc] init]; shadow.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.8]; shadow.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1); UIColor myColor = [BT_color getColorFromHexString:@"#330033"]; NSDictionary textola = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: myColor, NSForegroundColorAttributeName, shadow, NSShadowAttributeName, [UIFont fontWithName:@"chalkduster" size:21.0], NSFontAttributeName, nil]; [self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:textola]; Hope this helps.

Changing things for Android requires an alteration of the base theme, which I'm not familiar with. Cheers! -- Smug Comments No it's not for Android.
