iphone - Changing the Color of a custom UIToolbar above the keyboard (not just changing the text colour) in iOS 7 -

within app, using "dark" appearance keyboard uitextfields using light keyboard.

above keyboard 1 of text fields, have custom uitoolbar created buttons allowing user select 1 of options above keyboard.

this seems lot harder needs be, i'm trying make uitoolbar dark instead of light , no matter try, toolbar white , can seem change colour of buttons on toolbar rather toolbar itself.

the toolbar created in code:

    uitoolbar *alerttoolbar = [[uitoolbar alloc] initwithframe:cgrectmake(0.0f, 0.0f,                                                                           self.view.window.frame.size.width, 44.0f)];      alerttoolbar.backgroundcolor = [uicolor blackcolor];     //alerttoolbar.tintcolor = [uicolor colorwithred:0.0f green:0.0f blue:0.0f alpha:1.0f];      alerttoolbar.translucent = no;     alerttoolbar.items =  @[ [[uibarbuttonitem alloc] initwithtitle:@" gbp"                                                               style:uibarbuttonitemstylebordered                                                              target:self                                                              action:@selector(barbuttonaddtext:)],                              [[uibarbuttonitem alloc] initwithbarbuttonsystemitem:uibarbuttonsystemitemflexiblespace                                                                            target:nil                                                                            action:nil],                              [[uibarbuttonitem alloc] initwithtitle:@" usd"                                                               style:uibarbuttonitemstylebordered                                                              target:self                                                              action:@selector(barbuttonaddtext:)],                              [[uibarbuttonitem alloc] initwithbarbuttonsystemitem:uibarbuttonsystemitemflexiblespace                                                                            target:nil                                                                            action:nil],                              [[uibarbuttonitem alloc] initwithtitle:@" eur"                                                               style:uibarbuttonitemstylebordered                                                              target:self                                                              action:@selector(barbuttonaddtext:)],                              [[uibarbuttonitem alloc] initwithbarbuttonsystemitem:uibarbuttonsystemitemflexiblespace                                                                            target:nil                                                                            action:nil],      self.itemtextfield.inputaccessoryview = alerttoolbar; 

i've tried commented out code above ( //alerttoolbar.tintcolor = [uicolor colorwithred:0.0f green:0.0f blue:0.0f alpha:1.0f]; ) , bar remains white, it's "buttons" change colour.

how can change whole toolbar black?

any assistance on appreciated!

i guess using ios 7.0 sdk, in case bartint no longer working that.

you need use in case bartintcolor.

apple's documentation:

the behavior of tintcolor bars has changed on ios 7.0. no longer affects bar's background , behaves described tintcolor property added uiview. tint bar's background, please use -bartintcolor.

in case should be:

alerttoolbar.bartintcolor = [uicolor colorwithred:0.0f green:0.0f blue:0.0f alpha:1.0f];
