how to change front color of navigation bar title

Question

I am using navigation controller in my application and want to change title color of navigationBar.

I am doing so using below code

NSDictionary *dic = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor grayColor],UITextAttributeTextColor,nil];
    [self.navController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:dic];

One more thing I am using ARC xcode 4.2 and this code is placed on appdelegate only

It is working fine in ios 4+ but not working on below versions.

Please help me how to do this from single code on appdelegate

You can recreate the titleView like that in your viewcontroller:

UILabel * titleView = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
titleView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
titleView.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20.0];
titleView.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:1.0 alpha:1.0];
titleView.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0.0f, 1.0f);
titleView.textColor = [UIColor redColor]; // Your color here
self.navigationItem.titleView = titleView;
[titleView sizeToFit];
[titleView release];

the other parameters are those wich are used in the native titleView.
