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.

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?
