UIButton is too transparent

Question

I have a UIButton that sits ontop and is a subview of my UITabBar. But the button is still a bit transparent and I can see the lines from the tab bar through it. My button is created as so:

_button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[_button setTitle:@"+" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[_button.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Light" size:(46.0)]];
[_button setBackgroundColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];
[_button setTintColor:[UIColor regularColor]];
[_button setAlpha:1.0];

What's wrong?

no thats not it has something to do with tintColor from ios 7 forward – cdub Feb 21 '15 at 10:33
I believe property alpha controls the transparency of an object. – Saubar Feb 21 '15 at 10:35
yes but at 1.0 it is at max if you read uiview docs but i can still see the tabbar top through my button – cdub Feb 21 '15 at 10:38

I assume that your button is created in a storyboard. So if you try without the line "_button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];" it should not be transparent...
