How to change UINavigationBar color globally?

Question

I want to change UINavigationBar color globally for the whole application from the AppDelegate. For it I do:

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject : AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = UIColor(red: 63, green: 172, blue: 236, alpha: 1)
}

but, I do not know why, it doesn't change the color of my Navigation bar.

I had connect Navigation Bar as Editor > Embed In > Navigation Controller

How can I set the color for NavBar?

You just forgot to divide with 255 and use the barTintColor to set color for navigation bar. I have added a answer. Hope it helps — Ashish Kakkad, Jun 16 '15 at 05:22

set barTintColor

UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = UIColor(red: 63.0/255.0, green: 172.0/255.0, blue: 236.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)

I think you forgot to divide with 255

For turn off the translucent. In your first root controller do it as follows.

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.navigationController!.navigationBar.translucent = false
}

Swift 3 :

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.navigationController!.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
}

My output:

For Xcode 8, there is no .barTintColor anymore. It has only something like this: UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor and it does not work. Any idea? Thanks! – Va Visal Oct 22 '16 at 07:26
@VaVisal No. The barTintColor working with Swift 3 and Xcode 8. only tintColor is used for color of bar button items. – Ashish Kakkad Oct 22 '16 at 07:44

create property for navigationController in appdelegate.h and connect to your navigationController – Kishore Suthar Jun 16 '15 at 05:16

You can use this

Objective C:

    self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor yellowColor];

Swift:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.yellowColor()

It will make you navigation bar with yellow color.

PS : Don't use tintColor, tint color is for back buttons titles.

A navigation bar has other properties as well. You can check them on Apple site as well & can apply solutions as per your need.
