# Legacy customizations

Customize appearance information directly on the navigation bar object.

## Overview

Overview In iOS 13 and later, customize your navigation bar using the standardAppearance, compactAppearance, and scrollEdgeAppearance properties. You may continue to use these legacy accessors to customize your navigation bar’s appearance directly, but you must update the appearance for different bar configurations yourself.
