I'm trying to change the background color of my search bar. I want this top view to be one solid color. Here's the code I'm using:

 [titleBarView setBackgroundColor:[ColorUtil colorWithHexString:@"1ABC9C"]];
searchBar.barTintColor=[ColorUtil colorWithHexString:@"1ABC9C"];
searchBar.backgroundColor=[ColorUtil colorWithHexString:@"1ABC9C"];

And below is the result I'm getting. Notice that there's some gray along the top and bottom edges of the search bar. How do I get rid of this?

EDIT: After adding 

 searchBar.searchBarStyle=UISearchBarStyleMinimal;

I now get this:

So my original issue is solved, but now the interior of the searchBar is the wrong color. What property governs that?

What about your view hierarchy? Have you tried [searchBar setBarTintColor:[UIColor clearColor]];

try:
searchBar.searchBarStyle = UISearchBarStyleMinimal;

  • Please see my edit. This solved my original problem, but changes the color of the interior of the bar. – James Harpe Dec 03 '13 at 17:20
