How to Change Notifier Title Text Color for iOS?

Hello, everybody.

I am using the Notifier.ShowMessageDialog block in my iOS App project, but I am not satisfied with how it appears during runtime. As you can see, the white title text is not very readable on a white background! :rofl:

I have tried the BackgroundColor and TextColor properties, but these seem to only impact the temporary ShowAlert block.

I just want the title text to be black instead of white. Any help with this would be appreciated!

I have not this problem.

Keep attention whith the Theming configuration of the Project Propierties. I have Classic Theming and Primary Color&DarkColor = Default.

Thank you for the reply! I tried those settings that you suggested, but my Notifier has not changed. I still have the white title text.

Adam

How were you able to customize yours with all of those different colors and symbols?

Try Black Title Text.

@Anke

Thank you for the suggestion, but that did not work either.

Here is the simplest test App that I could come up with to easily demonstrate this issue.

Notifier_iOS_Test.aia (2.3 KB)

No matter what I try, the title text of the Notifier remains white!

I am using an iPhone 13 with iOS 26.

Thanks.

Is your phone in light mode or dark mode?

I tested it on different devices in dark and light mode with Black Title Text and it works fine on all:

After some more testing, here is what I have discovered.

I always run my iPhone in Dark Mode. As soon as I switched to Light Mode, the downloaded IPA for my App had black title text for the Notifiers. Switching back to Dark Mode turned the title text white again in the IPA.

After rebooting my computer this morning and returning to the Notifier test App that I shared earlier, I set the Project Theme to “Classic” and connected it to the latest version of the Companion on TestFlight. The Notifier title text was black even with my iPhone in Dark Mode! (I swear this did not work before….) I switched back to my production App, changed the Theme to “Classic,” and connected to the Companion again. The Notifier title text was still black! Finally, I compiled and downloaded the IPA to my iPhone, and the title text went back to white. Switching to Light Mode returned the title text to black. However, other UI Elements such as the Spinner appear to remain in “Light Mode” even when I switch back to Dark Mode. (It has the white background of Light Mode instead of the black background of Dark Mode.)

From my very small sampling, there appears to be an issue with the IPA compiler versus what the Companion uses to stream the App. I am sure that somebody else might have a much better idea of what the issue may be. :sweat_smile:

I will test the “Black Title Text” option right now as well to see if that produces any different results.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Adam

The “Black Title Text” option has the same results as the “Classic” Project Theme. It works fine in the Companion Viewer, but the compiled IPA App returns to the white Notifier title text until I switch to Light Mode.

My ultimate desire is for the Notifier title text to always be black regardless of any display settings on the iPhone. The white text on the white background of the Notifier is simply not professional/usable.

With html code and emojis on the text message.

@Ferran_SIMON

Do you have an example of that in Block Code? Could I use HTML to force the Notifier title text to a certain color?

Adam

I've replicated the issue on my iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 18.x, so I should be able to get a fix together.

@ewpatton

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Adam :+1:

I've just pushed iOS version 2.78.3 build 12 to TestFlight. See if that fixes the issue for you.

Yeah, I forgot. I already pointed it out in May: :upside_down_face:

Only is possible in the message text put html code. The emojis is a normal character and you put in title and message.

@ewpatton

Thank you for the Update. The black Notifier text works well in the Companion App, but my main issue is that

This does not appear to be something that can be fixed by the Companion App.

I have come up with a slightly better workaround in the meantime. I am converting my Notifier title text to Emoji characters since that actually works according to @Ferran_SIMON. It still is not great, but there is a little bit more contrast now.

Thanks again for everybody’s input. I appreciate your time!

Adam :waving_hand:

It only works in Light mode with the IPA. Tested on two iPhones (iOS 15 + 26).
