Nav Bar Transparency Question

Where in the code in Xcode do I make the Nav Bar fully transparent?

In your App Control Panel, you can set to Hide the Nav Bar. But I believe you want to keep the buttons visible. Could it be in the BT_Layout folder? Jake

It looks like it could be in BT_viewUtilities.m

I found the block of code in BT_viewUtitilities that sets the nav bar to translucent (around line 280) - unfortunately I don't think there is any built-in way to make the nav bar invisible I'm sure it's possible, but I'm guessing it's a little tricky

Hi Abs still awake! But are you saying it may work or it doesn't totally make it transparent or you have found the section of code that may possibly be the answer?

It may be possible to set the value to 0, making it look transparent. Jake

sorry, I'm not having much luck with this one - I thought that setting the nav bar color to "clear" would do it but that didn't work out

Hi Guys got a reply from Susan about the Nave Bar Transparency, which by the way, she had no solution either, but her comments were encouraging, I have copied and pasted Susan reply: Hi, @Dragon007! I am afraid I don't know how to do that off hand. If it was easy, someone like Kittsy or Chris1 would likely have jumped in with an answer. There is a plugin coming out soon that will give the user complete control of setting the buttons in the xib. With that, you could bypass the usual back button and create a new button in its place. But you would need to know how to code in order to make a replacement back button. The right button would be easy. This new plugin is iOS only. Good luck!
