Description

There are countless times when designing an iOS app that it makes sense to anchor something within the nav bar. UINavigationBar’s private palette properties does exactly what I’m looking for and it’s a shame that they’re not exposed publicly for third party developers to use. We have to resort to hacks like transparent nav bars and drawing the background ourselves to include our custom views when this could all be so much simpler.
