Question

How can I create a UINavigationController that looks exactly like the one in the current music app?

I tried …

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0.761 green:0.761 blue:0.761 alpha:1]];

but it’s not quite what I was looking for. What’s the best approach to do this?

Answer 1

That bar is using a gradient to create a z-axis rounding effect, so you’ll need a pattern image which only needs to be a 4×44 px sliver of the gradient you want, then call +[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"myImage"]];
