How to get rid of UIAppearance when not needed?

Question

In my AppDelegate I use UIAppearance to set my own NavigationBar with this code :

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"nav5.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];

But some views of my application don't need it. How can I get rid of it so I may only use IB in concerned views ?

You don't need to use the proxy. Just get the actual navigationBar, which should look different and set the colors directly on it.

[navigationBarInstance setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[navigationBarInstance setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"nav5.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];

You can also just set both values to nil, where you want the standard styles again. (tested by Ben Clayton).

[navigationBarInstance setTintColor:nil];
[navigationBarInstance setBackgroundImage:nil forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];

Setting the background image and colors to `nil` does indeed set the styles back to the default. Tested. – Ben Clayton Dec 14 '12 at 11:35

Doesn't work on `MFMailComposeViewController` instance (See https://alpha.app.net/stuffmc/post/5028278) – StuFF mc Apr 24 '13 at 12:31
