How to increase the size of UITabBarItem in iphone?

Question

I want to increase the Text size of UITabBarItem in my application.It is not visible clearly with its default color and size.

I tried this code but give me error -->UITabBar for instant message does not declare method with selector 'setTitleTextAttributes'.

Does any know how to do it?

[yourTabBarItem setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
    [UIColor whiteColor], UITextAttributeTextColor, 
    [NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0,0)], UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset, 
    [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:18.0], UITextAttributeFont, nil]
    forState:UIControlStateNormal];

I think the default size is fully conveninet for the user. Anyway you want, maybe you should make your own <Tabbar> with UIView, UIButtons and UITabbar-style images.

setTitleTextAttributes:forState: is only available in iOS 5.0 or later. Please refer to UIBarItem Class Reference (UITabBarItem is subclass of UIBarItem). For prior versions of iOS, I think you'd better create your own customized tab bar.

And you may also want to try other methods from the answers in Changing font size of tabbaritem.

For that you should create dynamic tab bar using UITabbar class.

.Using this You can allow own size text ,image,color.
