UITabBar删除黑色背景

Question

As the title states, I haven't been successful in removing the black background in the UITabBar.

I know it is possible to add a subview on top of it. But I want it to be transparent so if I add a transparent subview on top of it, it will just have the underlying black color.

Setting the tintColor made me able to change the color of the UITabBar, but when I change it to clearColor it will just be black again.

Anybody know how to remove the underlying image or color so it will be transparent?

When they added the tintColor property in iOS 5, they also added a number of other appearance-customization functionality to UITabBar . See, backgroundImage and selectionIndicatorImage , and the finishedSelectedImage and finishedUnselectedImage properties of UITabBarItem .
