How can I change color of UINavigationBar of ABPeoplePickerNavigationController?

I'm using ABAddressBookRef to get information of people for my Phone book. It works properly, but I want to change color of UINavigationBar of ABPeoplePickerNavigationController.

Is this possible or not? If possible, please tell me how to do it.

Try this:

static BOOL foundSearchBar = NO;
- (void)findSearchBar:(UIView*)parent mark:(NSString*)mark {

  for( UIView* v in [ subviews] ) {

    if( foundSearchBar ) return;

    NSLog(@"%@%@",mark,NSStringFromClass([v class]));

    if( [v isKindOfClass:[UISearchBar class]] ) {
      [(UISearchBar*)v  setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
      foundSearchBar = YES;
      break;
    }
    [self findSearchBar:v mark:[mark stringByAppendingString:@"> "]];
  }
}

- (void)pickPerson:(BOOL)animated {
  foundSearchBar = NO;
  ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
  [[picker navigationBar] setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

  picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
  picker.displayedProperties = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                  [NSNumber numberWithInt:kABPersonEmailProperty],
                  nil];

  [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:animated];
  [picker release];

  [self findSearchBar:[picker view] mark:@"  "];
}

You can use appearance proxies to govern the appearance of the nav bar in the ABPeoplePickerNavigationController like so:

for a red bar with white bar button items:

[[UINavigationBar appearanceWhenContainedIn:[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController class], nil] setBarTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController class], nil] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];

  picker.displayedProperties = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                  [NSNumber numberWithInt:kABPersonEmailProperty],

if ([navigationBar respondsToSelector:@selector(setBackgroundImage:forBarMetrics:)]) {
    UIImage *backGroundImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:kNavigationBarBackGroundImage] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:5 topCapHeight:5];
    [[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:backGroundImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}

This will affect all navigation bars but you set a backgroudn image rather then setting the background image but settintcolor sets only sets the color of the bars
