Custom UINavigationController UINavigationBar

Question

Basically I want a custom UINavigationBar. I don\'t want it to be \"translucent\" or anything, like the pictures app.

I basically want to completely remove

Answer 1

At the beginning of your AppDelegate subclass UINavigationBar as below:

@interface CustomNavBar : UINavigationBar

@end

@implementation CustomNavBar

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"bar.png"];
    [image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.frame.size.width, self.frame.size.height)];
}

and then in the AppDelegate do this magic:

//Set custom NavigationBar
[self.navController setValue:[[CustomNavBar alloc]init] forKeyPath:@"navigationBar"];
//Set tint to match bar.png
self.navController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.93 green:0.43 blue:0 alpha:1];
//Set font for NavigationBar
[self.navController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Comfortaa-Bold" size:20], UITextAttributeFont, nil]];

That should give you a lot more control over UINavigationController look & feel.
