@Bill Lee: “UINavigationButton” is a private API and if you link to it directly Apple will reject your app.

So…How do you change the tint color of the back button then? I have searched and was unable to find any solution to just change the background color of the back button.

Rather than the check you use:

if ([[[view class] description] isEqualToString:@”UINavigationButton”]) …

I use:

if ([view isKindOfClass:[UINavigationButton class]]) …

(Thanks for all your tips and info on your blog!)

Is there anyway to get the text to change color? I want to have a white button, but that does not look very good with white text.

Thanks for the tip – I was trying to recreate the page curl within the Maps app and the way in which the button becomes darker when the curl is in effect. I managed to do this by using the code above but changing UINavigationButton for UIToolbarButton.

Thanks!
