I would like to set the background color of a menu to that of the navigation bar. What is the best way to do this?
Swift 4
I am not sure the color does not change from version to version. In my app I use this:
var navBarDefaultColor: UIColor?
// save:
navBarDefaultColor = self.navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor
//restore:
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = navBarDefaultColor!
The default navbar color in iOS 7 is [UIColor colorWithRed:(247.0f/255.0f) green:(247.0f/255.0f) blue:(247.0f/255.0f) alpha:1];
Swift 5: UINavigationBar Default barTintColor for Light Mode.
#colorLiteral(red: 0.9763854146, green: 0.9765252471, blue: 0.9763546586, alpha: 1)
In Swift, it is:
UIColor(colorLiteralRed: (247/255), green: (247/255), blue: (247/255), alpha: 1)
Swift 5
Nav bar color in light appearance:
UIColor(red: 0.969, green: 0.969, blue: 0.969, alpha: 1.0)
To get the tint color of a navigation bar, do this:
[aNavbar barTintColor]
By using this when you set the background color of your menu, you will not have to change it in case you change your navigation bar tint.
