ios uinavigationcontroller tint

I have been looking on this site and on other how to set the navigation bar tint change, I have seen examples but is not quite what I need so any help will be appreciated.

on my app delegate I have:

@synthesize window;
@synthesize tabBarController;
@synthesize navigationController;
@synthesize navigationController1;
@synthesize navigationController2;
@synthesize viewController;
@synthesize viewController2;
@synthesize viewController3;

#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Application lifecycle 

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:              (NSDictionary *)launchOptions {    

    // Override point for customization after application launch.


    // Set the tab bar controller as the window's root view controller and display.
self.window.rootViewController = self.tabBarController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];


    return YES;
}

When I enter the code self.navigationController.navigationBar setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor] on the above, it only changes one of my navigation controllers but not the one I need.

I have 7 items on my tabbar and when I press the "MORE..." I get a table view with the other items that do not fit on the main screen, the navigation bar is added automatically, and no matter what I do I can not change this navigation bar tint, I can change the ones that I have @synthesize but not the automatically entered one.

Can someone please let me know how to change the automatically placed navigation bar?

You can do this using the appearance proxy. If you set the colour like this it will apply to every navigation bar in the app:

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
