Answer 1

Use this code to change toolbar textcolor.

UIBarButtonItem *barButtonAppearance = [UIBarButtonItem appearance];
[barButtonAppearance setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];

You can just use the titleView attribute of NavigationItem to do what you need to do. You can do the following:

UILabel *myLabel = [... enter all the code you want to customize the text, etc here];
self.navigationcontroller.navigationitem.titleView = myLabel;

And you should be done... unless I'm misunderstanding the question.
