Body
I have an app with a UITabBarController that has more than five tabs. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/dWM09.png" alt="enter image description here"> When I press the More tab, I go to the moreNavigationController which is a UINavigationController. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/fyJZ2.png" alt="enter image description here"> As you can see, I have figured out how to style the Title, Tint, Table color, and the Edit button on the More screen, as well as the Configure screen from pressing the Edit button. What I have not been able to figure out is how to style the back button, titled More, when I select an item in the table. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ExzM9.png" alt="enter image description here"> Each tab has it's own class, GRWTabSettingsViewController for example, which inherits from GRWViewController, which provides common functionality for all tabs, which then inherits from UIViewController. When on the Settings screen (or any other tab), I am trying to edit the More back button. <pre><code>- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated { [super viewWillAppear:animated]; [(UIBarButtonItem *)[(UINavigationItem *)[(UINavigationBar *)[(UINavigationController *)[self navigationController] navigationBar] topItem] leftBarButtonItem] setTintColor:[UIColor darkGrayColor]]; [self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.leftBarButtonItem setTintColor:[UIColor darkGrayColor]]; } </code></pre> However, this navigationController is clearly the parent since these changes get applied to the More screen and not the Settings screen. What am I misunderstanding and how would I modify the buttons displayed on the navigation bar of the screen I am viewing? === SOLUTION === <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/fZHtv.png" alt="enter image description here"> <pre><code>- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated { [super viewWillAppear:animated]; // use backBarButtonItem not leftBarButtonItem //[(UIBarButtonItem *)[(UINavigationItem *)[(UINavigationBar *)[(UINavigationController *)[self navigationController] navigationBar] topItem] leftBarButtonItem] setTintColor:[UIColor darkGrayColor]]; //[self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.leftBarButtonItem setTintColor:[UIColor darkGrayColor]]; UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.title style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:nil action:nil]; [backButton setTintColor:[UIColor darkGrayColor]]; self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.backBarButtonItem = backButton; // these do not work //[self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.backBarButtonItem setTintColor:[UIColor darkGrayColor]]; //[backButton setTintColor:[UIColor darkGrayColor]]; } </code></pre> Did take me a while to figure out that I can not format the button through self, or format the button after the assignment to self.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
