对于UIToolbar，UINavigationBar，UITabBar，UIBarButtonItem，UITabBarItem这几种控件的自定义，因为具备共同性，因此放在一起讨论。
通常有两种方式来实现自定义。
1）获取控件的对象，然后对这个特定的对象进行特定的修改。
2）利用UIAppearance来实现对所有同类控件及特定同类的自定义。因为大多数应用里面的自定义为了美观，基本上相同类的控件自定义方式都一样，因此采用UIAppearance来使得界面的自定义变得非常方便。对于这种方式，通常在AppDelegate.m文件中实现，在
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions 这个方法内实现。
这里介绍一下UIAppearance的使用，参考自“UIAppearance protocol reference",有两种方式：
1、自定义所有类对象的显示。
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:myColor];
2、自定义包含在特定containerclass 的类对象的显示。这主要针对UIBarButtonItem，就是说有的UIBarButtonItem在UINavigationBar中，有的在UIToolbar中，我们可以选择性的对存在于哪个bar中的button进行自定义。举例如下：
[[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UINavigationBar class], nil]setTintColor:myNavBarColor];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UINavigationBar class],[UIPopoverController class], nil] setTintColor:myPopoverNavBarColor];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UIToolbar class], nil] setTintColor:myToolbarColor];
下面总结一下各控件使用UIAppearance自定义的Methods。摘自各苹果官方的Reference.注意下面的方法同样可以单独用于某个单独的对象。
