How can we change color of UIScrollview's scroll indicator to something like blue, green etc.
I know we can change it to white, black. But other then these colors.

Unfortunately you can't, of course you can always roll your own. These are your options:
UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleDefault:
The default style of scroll indicator, which is black with a white border. This style is good against any content background.
UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleBlack:
A style of indicator which is black and smaller than the default style. This style is good against a white content background.
UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleWhite:
A style of indicator is white and smaller than the default style. This style is good against a black content background.
Both UIScrollView indicator are sub view of UIScrollView. So, we can access subview of UIScrollView and change the property of subview.
1 .Add UIScrollViewDelegate
@interface ViewController : UIViewController<UIScrollViewDelegate>
@end
2. Add scrollViewDidScroll in implementation section
-(void)scrollViewDidScroll:(UIScrollView *)scrollView1
{
//get refrence of vertical indicator
UIImageView *verticalIndicator = ((UIImageView *)[scrollView.subviews objectAtIndex:(scrollView.subviews.count-1)]);
//set color to vertical indicator
[verticalIndicator setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
//get refrence of horizontal indicator
UIImageView *horizontalIndicator = ((UIImageView *)[scrollView.subviews objectAtIndex:(scrollView.subviews.count-2)]);
//set color to horizontal indicator
[horizontalIndicator setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
}
Note:- Because these indicator update every time when you scroll (means reset to default). SO, we put this code in scrollViewDidScroll delegate method.
Demo available on GitHub - https://github.com/ioshacks/UIScrollViewIndicatorColor
Here's more safe Swift 3 method:
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
let verticalIndicator = scrollView.subviews.last as? UIImageView
verticalIndicator?.backgroundColor = UIColor.green
}
Swift 2.0 :
Add UIScrollView Delegate.
func scrollViewDidScroll(scrollView: UIScrollView){
let verticalIndicator: UIImageView = (scrollView.subviews[(scrollView.subviews.count - 1)] as! UIImageView)
verticalIndicator.backgroundColor = UIColor.greenColor()
let horizontalIndicator: UIImageView = (scrollView.subviews[(scrollView.subviews.count - 2)] as! UIImageView)
horizontalIndicator.backgroundColor = UIColor.blueColor()
}
You can change an image of indicator, but you should do this repeadeatly
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
self.chageScrollIndicator()
}
func chageScrollIndicator (){
if let indicator = self.collection.subviews.last as? UIImageView {
let edge = UIEdgeInsets(top: 1.25,
left: 0,
bottom: 1.25,
right: 0)
indicator.image = UIImage(named: "ScrollIndicator")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate).resizableImage(withCapInsets: edge)
indicator.tintColor = UIConfiguration.textColor
}
}
You can use this 2 image as template:
I wrote an article about this not so far ago. Unfortunately color of this bars defined by pre-defined images, so if you are going to change the color of bars some extra work will be required. Take a look to following link, you will definitely find an answer here since I tried to solve the same issue.

Try this it would certainly help you
for ( UIView *view in scrollBar.subviews ) {
if (view.tag == 0 && [view isKindOfClass:UIImageView.class])
{
UIImageView *imageView = (UIImageView *)view;
imageView.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
}
}
Explanation: UIScrollBar is a collection of subviews. Here scrollBar indicator(vertical/horizontal) is the one of the subviews and it's an UIImageView.So if we set custom color to the UIImageView it effects scrollBar Indicator.
This is how the color of the scroll bar is changed:
//scroll view
UIScrollView *scView = [[UIScrollView alloc] init];
scView.frame = self.view.bounds; //scroll view occupies full parent views
scView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(400, 800);
scView.backgroundColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
scView.indicatorStyle = UIScrollViewIndicatorStyleBlack;
scView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = NO;
scView.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = YES;
scView.scrollEnabled = YES;
[self.view addSubview: scView];
If you wish to add image as well, here is the code for Swift 3
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
let verticalIndicator = scrollView.subviews.last as? UIImageView
verticalIndicator?.image = UIImage(named: "imageName")
}
This works for UITableView and UICollectionView as well.
I ran into the same problem recently so I decided to write a category for it.
https://github.com/stefanceriu/UIScrollView-ScrollerAdditions
[someScrollView setVerticalScrollerTintColor:someColor];
[someScrollView setHorizontalScrollerTintColor:someColor];`
It blends it with the original image so only the color will change. On the other hand, it can also be modified to provide a custom image for the scrollers to use.
Here is what I did in Swift 4, similar to previous answers. In my case I'm recoloring the image to be invisible, set correct corner radius and only execute this process once.
func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
let color = UIColor.red
guard
let verticalIndicator = scrollView.subviews.last as? UIImageView,
verticalIndicator.backgroundColor != color,
verticalIndicator.image?.renderingMode != .alwaysTemplate
else { return }
verticalIndicator.layer.masksToBounds = true
verticalIndicator.layer.cornerRadius = verticalIndicator.frame.width / 2
verticalIndicator.backgroundColor = color
verticalIndicator.image = verticalIndicator.image?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
verticalIndicator.tintColor = .clear
}
please use below code on iOS Renderer
private bool _layouted;
public override void LayoutSubviews()
{
base.LayoutSubviews();
if (!_layouted)
{
this.Layer.BorderColor = UIColor.Red.CGColor;
var Verticalbar = (UIImageView)this.Subviews[this.Subviews.Length - 1];
Verticalbar.BackgroundColor = Color.FromHex("#0099ff").ToUIColor();
var Horizontlebar = (UIImageView)this.Subviews[this.Subviews.Length - 2];
Horizontlebar.BackgroundColor = Color.FromHex("#0099ff").ToUIColor();
_layouted = true;
}
}
You can use custom UIScrollView scrollBars to implement color in scrollbars. For more details look here
