I have a UIToolbar that has a white tint, with a bar button item, followed by some flexible space, followed by another bar button item. I would like to make the toolbar completely clear so that I can see what is under the flexible space (I don't care about seeing what is behind the buttons). Is there a way to do this? I have tried setting the toolbar to translucent, but that does not make it completely clear.
[self.toolbar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage new]
forToolbarPosition:UIToolbarPositionAny
barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[self.toolbar setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
Subclass UIToolbar, and implement the below method:
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
[[UIColor colorWithWhite:0 alpha:0.6f] set]; // or clearColor etc
CGContextFillRect(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), rect);
}
see more details here
set toolbarStyle -1 like this
tools.barStyle = -1; // clear background
Hacky, sorry, but the only way I've found so far that reliably works in both iOS 7 and iOS 6 is to do this:
[[toolbar.subviews objectAtIndex:0] removeFromSuperview];
If you want a global solution take advantage of the UIAppearance
proxy:
UIToolbar *toolbarAppearance = [UIToolbar appearance];
[toolbarAppearance setBackgroundImage:[[UIImage alloc] init] forToolbarPosition:UIBarPositionAny barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
