How to disable the blue color highlight in tab bar in iOS?

Question

I am customizing the tab bar in iOS, how to disable the blue color glow at the highlighted tab bar item ?

Will apple reject the app which disables the default blue color glow at the selected item ?

Thanks.

Pre IOS5, you can only do this with a "hack" to over-ride drawrect.

I would recommend against it, even though I have done it and had an app accepted with it (that was over a year ago though).

In IOS5 this will likely be possible with the new customisation api's.
