I have a custom monotouch dialogviewcontroller created, and I have set:

EnableSearch = true

however, I am using a background colour of dark grey and I have a black colour UINavigationBar too. So the default search bar that appears in my DialogViewController looks quite out of place.

Is there a way I could customise the colour of this at all, or subclass UISearchBar or something like that to get this search bar to fit with the other colours I am using in my app?

Thanks for any help or pointers!

    Looks like I should have tried the word “tint” in my initial searches before posting this question. The answer to this is on the following question: Monotouch.Dialog – UISearchBar Tint

    To summarise what is mentioned in this thread, you just simply cast your TableView.TableHeaderView as UISearchBar and use the TintColor property to set your desired value.

    ((UISearchBar) TableView.TableHeaderView).TintColor = UIColor.Black;

    🙂
