Setting the style of UITableView section headers

Asked 2012-03-04T16:24:21.870

I'm working with iOS 5 and have dynamically generated cells in a table (2 sections of 3 rows each). Each section has a header that is also dynamically generated using the titleForHeaderInSection call.

I also have an image set as the background for the table that makes the default color of the section headers hard to read. I haven't found a way to change the color of the section headers (or shadow color, font, text size, etc for that matter) either through the Storyboard interface or programmatically! Please help!

This also works in iOS5+. It applies to all of the section headers and footers in the tableview and suited my needs.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [[UILabel appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UITableViewHeaderFooterView class], nil] setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"MyFont" size:8]];
}
