NavigationBar title is coming in black color

Question

I am using a UINavigationBar in my app with UITabBar. On the first tab, the navigation bar title is coming properly as a white title with the default background color, but on the second tab it's not working in the same way. I'm not using any code to change the title color or the navigation bar's tintColor.

Why is the second view's UINavigationBar title drawn in this black color?

Answer 1

Generally, you can not change default color of UINavigationBar Title. In case of If you want to change color of UINavigationBar Title than you need to customize UINavigationBar. so put code for your second ViewController for more Understanding.

EDIT:

After searching, I found that You can change title color of UINavigationBar by

self.navigationController.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[UIColor whiteColor] forKey:UITextAttributeTextColor];

This code is working in iOS5 and later.

Answer 2

Most of the above suggestions are deprecated now, for iOS 7 use -

NSDictionary *textAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: 
                               [UIColor whiteColor],NSForegroundColorAttributeName, 
                               [UIColor whiteColor],NSBackgroundColorAttributeName,nil];

self.navigationController.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = textAttributes;
self.title = @"Title of the Page";

Also, checkout the NSAttributedString.h for various text properties that could be set.

Answer 3

Try this in AppDelegate:

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:@{NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor whiteColor]}];

Answer 4

This will allow you to change the colors

NSDictionary *navbarTitleTextAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                        [UIColor whiteColor],UITextAttributeTextColor, 
                                        [UIColor blackColor],      UITextAttributeTextShadowColor, 
                                        [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(-1, 0)], UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset, nil];

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:navbarTitleTextAttributes];

Answer 5

Use this bit of code for iOS7 as UITextAttributeTextColor has been deprecated.

self.navigationController.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[UIColor orangeColor] forKey:NSForegroundColorAttributeName];

Answer 6

This code changes the text of all the navigationBar, with this code the text can be customized 100%.

in appDelegate:

 //custom text navBar
   [[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes: 
   [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor colorWithRed:0x73/255.0 green:0x47/255.0 blue:0x41/255.0 alpha:1.0], UITextAttributeTextColor,
   [UIColor colorWithRed:0x1D/255.0 green:0x1D/255.0 blue:0x1B/255.0 alpha:1], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor,
   [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, 1)],UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset, 
   [UIFont fontWithName:@"yourFont" size:20], UITextAttributeFont, nil]];
