Setting the background color of UINavigationBar has no effect?

Question

For most iOS widgets I can set the background color. It appears that UINavigationBar is not this way. Furthermore I cannot set the navigation item (top item)'s background as it does not respond to setBackgroundColor.

How can I change that color? Thanks.

You should use setTintColor: instead:

[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];

Hope this helps!

Change it by following code:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor=[UIColor grayColor];

Easiest way would be to use the Interface Builder:
