UINavigationBar text color in Swift

How do I change the color of a UINavigationBar in Swift?

Most internet applications say to do something like:

 [self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:@{NSForegroundColorAttributeName : [UIColor whiteColor]}];

What I translated into

 let titleDict: NSDictionary = ["NSForegroundColorAttributeName": UIColor.whiteColor()] self.navigationController.navigationBartitleTextAttributes = titleDict //self is referring to a UIViewController

But that will not work. I already changed the background color and buttons, but the color of the text does not change. Any ideas?

Use NSForegroundColorAttributeName as a key, not the string "NSForegroundColorAttributeName" .

 let titleDict: NSDictionary = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.whiteColor()] self.navigationController.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = titleDict

You can also change all manifestations of the UINavigationController in your application in the AppDelegate.swift file. Just enter the following code into the application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions function application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions :

 var navigationBarAppearace = UINavigationBar.appearance() navigationBarAppearace.tintColor = UIColor.YourNavigationButtonsColor() // Back buttons and such navigationBarAppearace.barTintColor = UIColor.YourBackgroundColor() // Bar background color navigationBarAppearace.titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.YourTitleColor()] // Title text color
