It is absolutely possible for you to use custom colors and images instead of the ones provided to you by Apple's own UITabBarController. I used the code explained in this (really thorough) tutorial - works great.

To create an image for a tab bar or toolbar item, you or your designer must work in the image's alpha channel. The colors in the image don't matter at all, the OS only is interested in the alpha channel. In your case, the background of your image should be fully transparent instead of black.
