Question

I am trying to set my navigation bar to be see through like the photos app.

What property is used to achieve this? I have tried the available properties for the navigationbar but I cant get is to work.

IS this possible to do?

I want the View behind the navigationbar to be seen when the bar is over it.

If you are using a .nib you can select the navigation bar and set the navigation bar style to “Black Translucent” in navigation bar attributes (in the inspector).

If you are adding the navigation bar programmatically you can set the style like so in your viewDidLoad:

 self.navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent;
