Answer 1

In newer versions of React Navigation you have a flatter settings object, like below:

static navigationOptions = {
  title: 'Chat',
  headerStyle: { backgroundColor: 'red' },
  headerTitleStyle: { color: 'green' },
}

Deprecated answer:

Per the docs, here, you modify the navigationOptions object. Try something like:

static navigationOptions = {
    title: 'Welcome',
    header: {
        style: {{ backgroundColor: 'red' }},
        titleStyle: {{ color: 'green' }},
    }
}

Please don't actually end up using those colors though!
