Change the color of a Tabbar on the iPhone

Our designers want to change the color of the default UITabBar. Of course they do.

They want the background to be green, and the icon highlights to be white, as opposed to the black/blue default color scheme.

Anyone have any experience or suggestions to do this?

Since iOS5 is released, you can now use the property tintColor. i.e.:

tabBar.tintColor = [UIColor greenColor];

iOS 5.0 fixes this issue but the solution is under NDA. Look up UITabBar in your documentation for an EASY way to do what you want to do.

This can be done with a little private API hacking.

Be careful. If your app is going for submission to the app store, Apple may reject it if you're modifying their prescribed color scheme.

You have to subclass the UITabBarController and implement custom drawing.
