Question

How would I go about creating a navigation bar which looks like this:

It’s more flat than the default bar, and the dropshadow inside the title also seems different.

Answer 1

You’ll need to create some custom resources and use them either with a -drawRect: override, or if you are okay targeting only iOS 5, UIAppearance.

2. Custom nav bar styling – iOS

Edit: also for the title text, you’ll want to add a custom UILabel setup how you like as the titleView of the navigation controller. Or for iOS 5 you can use the titleTextAttributes on UINavigationBar.
