How to customize navigation bar?

How can we use a type of texture image for the navigation bar of BT 3.0 project? I would love a simple plug in for this.

There is a section in this that shows how to use an image for the navbar. http://www.appcoda.com/customize-navigation-status-bar-ios-7/ If your looking to use the image universally across all the screens on your app, put the code in the BT_viewContoller.m file and inside the -(void0configureNavBar{} function. Bug me again tomorrow and I might post some more on this. Its past my bedtime here.

Good choice in putting customizations into the AppDelegate file. Try not to modify BT Core files. Becomes an update fiasco.

I can't emphasise enough that customisations really make an app unique. I have tried doing a lot with my Woodstock app, such as customise the tab and nav bar to match the theme of the app. An example of an app that has done well from customisations is Rohan's app "Silver Gold News" on the iOS app store. Rohan, who I'm lucky to have met a few times, has done a really good job in the graphics and customisations to this app. Therefore, it gives a real unique feel to it, giving no impression it was a Buzztouch app.

Thanks Thomas for pointing out Rohan's app. Here it is for those who want to drool at the screenshots of Silver Gold News: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/silver-gold-news/id626854141?mt=8 Alternatively, buy Rohan a cup of java -- get his app! :-) -- Niraj
