Color of UIToolbar not changing

Question

I have created a UIToolbar. I am trying to give it black color using:

toolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;

or

toolbar's background property. But its color does not change in either case.

How can I change it?

Answer 1

Have you tried setting the tint property on UIToolbar? ie:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
  [super viewDidLoad];
  UIToolbar *toolbar=[[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 46)];
  toolbar.tintColor=[UIColor redColor];
  [self.view addSubview:toolbar];
  [toolbar release];
}
