Change color of Back button in navigation bar

Question

I am trying to change the color of the Settings button to white, but can\'t get it to change.

I\'ve tried both of these:

navigationItem.leftBarButton         


        

Answer 1

Swift 4.2

Change complete app theme

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
        // Override point for customization after application launch.

        UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = .white

        return true
    }

Change specific controller

let navController = UINavigationController.init(rootViewController: yourViewController) 
navController.navigationBar.tintColor = .red

present(navController, animated: true, completion: nil)

Answer 2

You should use this:

navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = .purple
navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = .white

Answer 3

Lets try this code:

 func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.

    let navigationBarAppearace = UINavigationBar.appearance()
    navigationBarAppearace.tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()  // Back buttons and such
    navigationBarAppearace.barTintColor = UIColor.purpleColor()  // Bar's background color
    navigationBarAppearace.titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.whiteColor()]  // Title's text color

    self.window?.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    return true
}

Answer 4

Swift

 override func viewDidLoad() {
     super.viewDidLoad()

 self.navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.white
 }

Answer 5

in swift 2.0 use

self.navigationController!.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor();

Answer 6

If you already have the back button in your "Settings" view controller and you want to change the back button color on the "Payment Information" view controller to something else, you can do it inside "Settings" view controller's prepare for segue like this:

override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) { 
    if segue.identifier == "YourPaymentInformationSegue"
    {
        //Make the back button for "Payment Information" gray:
        self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem?.tintColor = UIColor.gray               
    }
}
