Set NavigationBar background to a solid color

Question

Is there any way I can set the background of the Navigation Bar of the UINavigationController to a solid color?

I know I can change the Tint color, but that still leaves me with the gradient/glass effect.

Any way I can get rid of that, and just have a plain old solid color?

Answer 1

The following code also results in solid color of navigation bar:

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[[UIImage alloc] init] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
