Changing navigation bar color in Swift

🎨 Changing Navigation Bar Color in Swift 🖌️

Are you looking to add some personal touch to your iOS app? Want to change the navigation bar color and make it match your app's theme? We're here to help! In this blog post, we'll address common issues faced when changing the navigation bar color and provide you with easy solutions in Swift. Let's get started!

🌈 Setting the Navigation Bar Color

To change the color of the navigation bar, we'll need to modify its appearance attributes. Here's an example of how you can do it:

// Inside your view controller's viewDidLoad() method
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    
    // Change the navigation bar's background color
    navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor.red
    
    // Change the navigation bar's text color
    navigationController?.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor: UIColor.white]
}

In the code snippet above, we're using the barTintColor property to set the background color of the navigation bar and the titleTextAttributes property to change the text color. Feel free to experiment with different colors to find the perfect combination that matches your app's design.

🌟 Bonus: Changing Tab Bar Color

If you also want to customize the tab bar color to maintain a consistent theme across your app, it's possible too! Just add the following code to your view controller:

// Inside your view controller's viewDidLoad() method
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    
    // Change the tab bar's background color
    tabBarController?.tabBar.barTintColor = UIColor.blue
}

By using the barTintColor property of the tabBar, you can easily modify its background color to ensure it blends beautifully with your navigation bar.
