Custom UITabBar unselected item's color

I am trying to change the default grey colour of the unselected UITabBarItems. I have managed to change the text but not the image.

enter image description here

TabBar.appearance().barTintColor = UIColor(red: 86.0/255.0, green: 132.0/255.0, blue: 208.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0)

var normalTint: UIColor = UIColor.whiteColor()

TabBar.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()

UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: normalTint,NSFontAttributeName: UIFont(name: "Arial", size: 13)!], forState: UIControlState.Normal)
Solution

  • you can use .AlwaysOriginal

    tabBarItem.selectedImage = UIImage(named: "first-selected")!.imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysOriginal)
