Howto set backgroundColor (tintColor) on UINavigationBar - iphone

Question

I hope you can help me to set the background color of my navigation bar. As you can see on the first picture below, the bar is light blue/gray, but i want it to be like the second picture "Favoritter".
I have another viewController in my project (see the second picture "Favoritter") where it works. But I can not see what I'm doing wrong here and the navigationBar will only take this light blue/gray color and not yellow.
My code is like this:
------------------InstantCabAppDelegate.m file-----------START-------
//InstantCabAppDelegate.m file
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
// Create tabBarController instance
tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
// Create instances of navigation controller and view controllers
orderController = [[OrderController2 alloc] initWithNibName:#"Order2" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController* firstnavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:orderController];
ICStatusViewController *statusController = [[ICStatusViewController alloc] initWithStatus];
UINavigationController *statusNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:statusController];
ICSettingsViewController *settingsController = [[ICSettingsViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *settingsNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:settingsController];
UIViewController *company_controller = nil;
company_controller = [[ICCompaniesGridController alloc] initWithCompanies:[[NSArray alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"Companies" ofType:#"plist"]]];
tabBarController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:firstnavigationController, settingsNavController, statusNavController, company_controller, nil];
[window setRootViewController:tabBarController];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}

Answer 1

You can either set the tint color of the navigation bar OR use a IMAGE instead of navigation bar and hide the navigation bar, using:
navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;

Answer 2

You are not talking about a UITableView, but about the UINavigationBar on the top. I fixed your question to reflect that. Basically there are two ways to set its tintColor:
The easier option would be to use the appearance protocol (iOS 5 and later), as this will change every NavigationBar in the whole app:
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];
Or you do it on every single UINavigationBar of every UINavigationController.
[navigationController.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];

Answer 3

just add this line for set yellow color to navigationcontroller in viewDidLoad: method of ICStatusViewController class..
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];
and also with image like bellow..
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"yourImageName"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];// write your image name like yellow image
i hope this help you...

Answer 4

What's your tableView's style? If tableView's style is UITableViewStyleGrouped, you can't change backgroundColor on iOS 6. Try to change tableView's backgroundView.
self.settingsTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:rect
style:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:settingsTableView.frame];
view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
settingsTableView.backgroundView = view;
