iOS7 Navigation bar text colour

Question

I'm having problems changing the text and status bar text colour to white.

I want all the black text to be white,any ideas?

I have seen a lot of solutions but none seem to work on iOS 7

Answer 1

My solution was to add the following to AppDelegate:

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

Swift 3:

UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.white]

Swift 5:

UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]

In iOS 13 you can set the appearance on a navigation bar itself using UINavigationBarAppearance:

let appearance = UINavigationBarAppearance()
appearance.titleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
appearance.largeTitleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]

navigationBar.standardAppearance = appearance

Answer 2

To turn your title text color white put this in your viewDidLoad

self.navigationController.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = @{UITextAttributeTextColor : [UIColor whiteColor]}

To change your Status bars text color to white add this to your view

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarStyle:UIStatusBarStyleLightContent];

Answer 3

There are a couple of things you might want to do.

1) To change the color of the title:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = @{NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor whiteColor]};

2) To change the color of Bar buttons:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

3) To make the status bar text color white through the whole app:

On you project plist file:

• Status bar style: UIStatusBarStyleLightContent
• View controller-based status bar appearance: NO
• Status bar is initially hidden: NO

Answer 4

You can use the following:

[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[UIColor whiteColor] forKey:NSForegroundColorAttributeName]];

Answer 5

This is what i did..

Do the following to make the status bar text color white through the whole app.

On you project plist file:

Status bar style: UIStatusBarStyleLightContent

View controller-based status bar appearance: NO

Status bar is initially hidden: NO

No need to implement preferredStatusBarStyle or call setNeedsStatusBarAppearanceUpdate if you want the same behavior throughout the app.

Answer 6

Just replace with NSForegroundColorAttributeName with UITextAttributeTextColor

 self.navigationController.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = @{NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor whiteColor]};
