How to change the appBar back button color

Question

I cannot figure out how to change the appBar\'s automatic back button to a different color. it\'s under a scaffold and I\'ve tried to research it but I can\'t wrap my head aroun

Answer 1

you can also override the default back arrow with a widget of your choice, via 'leading':

leading: new IconButton(
  icon: new Icon(Icons.arrow_back, color: Colors.orange),
  onPressed: () => Navigator.of(context).pop(),
), 

all the AppBar widget does is provide a default 'leading' widget if it's not set.
