In my iPad app I have an application settings view. One of the options lets the user switch interface color scheme. The settings view is loaded by segue to a separate view controller than my "main" app's window.
When they pick a new color I switch the colorSchemeColor variable and do this:
// set the colors and refresh the view [[UINavigationBar appearance] setBarTintColor:colorSchemeColor]; [[UIToolbar appearance] setBarTintColor:colorSchemeColor]; [[UITabBar appearance] setBarTintColor:colorSchemeColor]; However, none of the bars change color until I exit my settings view! (When the settings window disappears, the colors for the "main" app change correctly!)
So then I tried to put this code right after to refresh the settings view:
[self.view setNeedsDisplay]; [self.view setNeedsLayout]; which didn't help. So I added this as well:
[self.navigationController.view setNeedsDisplay]; [self.navigationController.view setNeedsLayout]; This didn't work either.
How can I get my settings view to "redraw" itself when the new color is picked so the change is instantly obvious?
Thanks so much!

Open the project's storyboard file. Select the UINavigationBar from your UINavigationController scene. In the Attributes Inspector pane turn on these Appearances: “Standard”, “Compact”, “Scroll Edge”, and “Compact Scroll Edge”. For all four appearances, set the “Background” to “System Red Color”, for example.
Change the Bar StyleA user changes the navigation bar's style, or UIBarStyle , by tapping the “Style” button to the left of the main page. This button opens an action sheet where users can change the background's appearance to default, black-opaque, or black- translucent.
The appearance settings for the navigation bar when the edge of scrollable content aligns with the edge of the navigation bar. iOS 13.0+ iPadOS 13.0+ Mac Catalyst 13.1+ tvOS 13.0+
The appearance proxy only affects the look of newly initialized views. Setting colors on the appearance proxy will have no effect on navigation bars that are already visible.
You'll need to manually update your current view; for example:
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UINavigationBar appearance].barTintColor; Objective-C:
self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES; self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = NO; Swift:
self.navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden = true self.navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden = false If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
