Add one simple line to the app delegate didFinishLaunching method. In my case I wanted something other than the default blue. If you see below I chose purple! http://www.snurlz.com/wp-content/uploads/uitab-highlight.png In BT apps, add below didFinishLaunching method //set the configuration file name configurationFileName = @"BT_config.txt"; //show debug in output window? showDebugInfo = TRUE; //init the allowed input characters string. ONLY these characters will be allowed in input fields. allowedInputCharacters = @"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789_-.@!$"; //change tab bar image tint color [[UITabBar appearance] setSelectedImageTintColor:[UIColor purpleColor]]; Have fun!

RobinvanKrieken Aspiring developer Posts: 50 Reg: Dec 20, 2012 Amsterdam 6,500	01/15/13 02:50 AM (12 years ago) Hi, I am trying to get this done for an Android project. I've managed to change the colors of my bottom toolbar but those are full blown colors. I'd like to just change the color of the selected button and keep the radient. The above sounds good but I don't know in which file and what "Android-language" to use to get it working. I've had many people advising me to read http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_tab.html, which was helpful. And a few more similar threads but none of them explain to me how and where to makes changes. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thx in aadvance!
