Question

I need to change color on the default “self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem”. To accomplish this I´ve created an custom Button class and implemented it like this:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];    
BackButton *blueSaveButton = [[BackButton alloc] init];
UIBarButtonItem *temporaryBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:blueSaveButton];
temporaryBarButtonItem.title = @"Tillbaka";
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = temporaryBarButtonItem;
[temporaryBarButtonItem release];
[blueSaveButton release];
[self gotoLocation];

}

But this has no effect at all on the button.
So how do you manage to do this without “breaking” the default/inherited behavior of the navigationbar?

EDIT: The reason is that the button needs to be corporate branded, so default styles will not do.

Answer 1

Ok found the solution (not so good but it works) do this:
1: Implement the button from this tutorial: http://www.switchonthecode.com

This will override the default behavior of navigationbar.

2: Implement this in every view that needs the custom button:
