I just came across this the other day. You can crack open AI or PS and draw your own and replace the graphic which is a great skill to learn.
http://layersmagazine.com/designing-ios-tab-and-navigation-bars-in-photoshop.html Then use this: if ([self.navigationController.navigationBar respondsToSelector:@selector(setBackgroundImage:forBarMetrics:)] ) { UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"my new awesome nav bar image.png"]; [self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:image forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault]; } You can simply change the tint in a storyboard or in code. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7179741/ios-navigation-controller-change-toolbar-color You also can create the gradient in code which is probably even more useful. (FYI, this is awesome) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1852319/uinavigationbar-gradient-details And Ray has an example on how to draw gradients. Enjoy. http://www.raywenderlich.com/2079/core-graphics-101-shadows-and-gloss On Feb 22, 2013, at 10:44 AM, Matt Neuburg wrote: > On Sun, 17 Feb 2013 17:24:25 -0800, Trygve Inda <cocoa...@xericdesign.com> > said: >> I have a popover view and would like a nav-like title bar on it in a dark >> color that matches the frame gradient of the popover fram.
