Question

I am using iOS 5 and changing the color of the UIBarButton by using this code:

[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:76/255.0 green:120/255.0 blue:181/255.0 alpha:1.0]];

I want them to be another color in some views though (1 color in navbar, 1 color when in toolbar).

Is this possible?

Answer 1

Yep, you can use the +appearanceWhenContainedIn: method:

[[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UINavigationBar class], nil] setTintColor:...];

That way the tint color of UIBarButtonItems will only be affected when they’re embedded inside a UINavigationBar.
