Hi

I have a UITableViewController where I added a "editButtonItem" in the navigation bar :

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;

No magic here, but I try to define the color (background and foreground/textcolor) of this button.

I read in the Apple forum somewhere that the button changes the color if I change the navigationbar to the same color, well despite the fact that I do not get this to work either (for testing) I do not want to touch the navigationbr itself, just the button.

Since this button is already predefined I am not sure how to handle this. Do I need to overwrite the button with my own definition or can I just simply apply a new style (if so how ?)

Thx
