How can I remove the blue highlight in a tab bar for iOS?

Question

I've already been able to customize the gray shape that indicates what tab is selected, but how do I change the blue highlight to a different color or remove it completely? I'm building a tab bar with a very specific custom design, and this blue gloss has to go.

only solution is to create your own custom tabbar – Saurabh Passolia Dec 17 '11 at 16:52 — Saurabh Passolia, Dec 17 '11 at 16:52

The UITabBar itself, won't allow you to modify it like this. My opinion would be to create your own custom TabBar. Look at this question for further informations: Really cool way to create custom UITabBar for iPhone app?

I found the answer myself, in the documentation. http://cl.ly/2P1N2s1A0d2s2c0g2T3t – mguniverse Dec 17 '11 at 17:16
Yes, but that's iOS 5-only if you want to provide backward-compatibility you need to create something on your own. – Fabio Poloni Dec 17 '11 at 19:00
