Getting a black plus button on a table view

[joshholat]

I have a table view with the following code:

	self.navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
	UIButton* modalViewButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
	[modalViewButton setTitle:@"+" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
	[modalViewButton setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
	[modalViewButton addTarget:self action:@selector(modalViewAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
	UIBarButtonItem *modalButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:modalViewButton];
	self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = modalButton;
	[modalViewButton release];

However, it isn't working. I have a black bar on top for the title with a black edit button, so I just want a black square button with a white plus sign in it. Any help? I can't do it in IB.

Nevemind, I got it. Now how do you apply a font to a string? Something like [NSString stringWithFont:]; maybe?
