Here's what I have:

Here's what I want:

I've tried creating my own UIBarButtonItem but I can't figure out how to get the image to be beside the text, rather than as a background or a replacement for the text.

let backButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Custom", style: .Plain, target: self, action: nil    ) //backButton.image = UIImage(named: "imageName") //Replaces title backButton.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(named: "imageName"), forState: .Normal, barMetrics: .Default) // Stretches image navigationItem.setLeftBarButtonItem(backButton, animated: false) 

Answer 1

You can do something like that:

let yourBackImage = UIImage(named: "back_button_image") self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backIndicatorImage = yourBackImage self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backIndicatorTransitionMaskImage = yourBackImage self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backItem?.title = "Custom" 

Your image will only have one color though
