I am using the Xcode 6 GM. Adding a search bar with default settings like this
Then i changed the bar tint to "Clear Color" in the attributes inspector, then it becomes this
Back to Xcode 5.1, The same bar tint color change looks more intuitive as the clear color means seeing through.
Is this some kind of bug or an expected changes by the new Xcode?
Please Try it by change UISearchbar property Search style from default to Minimal.

To avoid confusion as to what the navigationbaractually is, here's a
As you can see, I've added a new color instead of the standard black color using:
<item name="android:navigationBarColor">#color/colorBackground</item>
But the icons are barely visible now, so I would like to change them into being black, or at least darker. I have searched SO and the webb but came up empty handed. Any ideas?
You cannot change the color of the buttons yourself.
However you can try to set the navigationbarlight to true. It should be noted that this is only available from API level 27.
windowLightNavigationBar
added in API level 27
int windowLightNavigationBar
If set, the navigation bar will be drawn such that it is compatible
with a light navigation bar background.
For this to take effect, the window must be drawing the system bar
backgrounds with windowDrawsSystemBarBackgrounds and the navigation
bar must not have been requested to be translucent with
windowTranslucentNavigation. Corresponds to setting
SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LIGHT_NAVIGATION_BAR on the decor view.
May be a boolean value, such as "true" or "false".

I just updated to latest Xamarin.iOS 4.10.0 and xCode5 for developing my app for iOS7.
In iOS7 now the tint color of the UINavigationBar is not set with Tint color but with BarTintColor. so the following :
NavigationBar.TintColor = UIColor.Red;
doesn't do anything for ios7 (in ios6 it does change the color the top bar).
How can I change the UINAvigationBar color using monotouch for iOS7? I even tried to change via the xCode5, but it seems to not work as well
From Apple doc:
iOS7: Use tintColor to tint bar button items.
Use barTintColor to tint the bar background.
iOS6: Use tintColor to tint the bar background.
Which translate in monotouch to: TintColor and BarTintColor
My question would be that how can you set the status bar to a default color in ios7. (Like in the latest update of Facebook and Twitter app)
Thanks a lot!
The status bar doesn't have a color - it's transparent. The color you are seeing in the new Facebook app is the navigation bar that has been extended under the status bar. In iOS 7 your status bar can be transparent with white text, transparent with black text, or opaque (black). It can't be tinted, but you can give the illusion of a tint by extending your navigation bar.
iOS 7 introduces the concept of extendable view edges to allow for this sort of thing. You might want to review the UI transition guide or UIViewController documentation for more information.
It looks like you can assign a background image to the navigation bar and whatever alpha/ opacity that image has, will be picked up by the status bar.
Create your image 640x128 and whatever colour/pattern you want.
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
This will make the picture the background of the navigation bar and the status bar.
Ok, I am using the Visual Studio 2012 Color Theme Editor extension and I have modified the dark theme a little bit so that it suits my needs.
However I am experiencing an issue with the background color when I am using the Find tool. The issue is that I am setting an exact color for the background of the highlighted string, but it seems that there is some default transparency applied which is not editable even when using the editor mentioned above (VS gives you the option to edit the colors while the custom editor gives you the option to change the opacity as well).
Since I am using the dark theme whichever color I choose it looks like dark grey with a little bit of red/blue/yellow/whatever. I need to set it to something vibrant and not to dark grey with a drop of white for example - I want to easily see what is highlighted when I search.
How do I set it to something vibrant and not to dark grey with a drop of white for example - I want to easily see what is highlighted when I search?
I'm using a UISearchDisplayController and I'm trying to set the TintColor of the UISearchBar. The problem is that the color does not come though correctly. In interface builder the color of the search bar is correct after setting the tint property, but when the app runs, the search bar will be the same color, just a lot lighter. E.g. If I set the TintColor to black in interface builder it looks right in the designer, but when I run the app the color will come though medium grey.
I have also tried setting it in code like below, with no luck.
SearchDisplayController.SearchBar.TintColor = UIColor.Black;
Any Ideas? I'm a bit lost on this one.
This seems to be a bug in iOS 5/6. Happens to me when I connect the search bar to a search display controller, but not otherwise.
How I (strangely) fixed it:
Add a segmented controller to your view, change it's tint color to your desired color. Now you will get the right color on your search bar as well.
I did not try it in Xcode but, API wise, UISearchBar has both a BackgroundColor and a TintColor and they are not identical. What you describe (grey'ing) is normal when using TintColor while using BackgroundColor should give you a pure color.
