Default tab bar item colors using swift Xcode 6

Question

Environment: - Xcode 6 beta 4 - Swift language - iOS Tabbed Application (default xCode project)

How can I change the default grey color of the tabs to something else

Answer 1

I don't have enough reputation for commenting the comments, but many are interested how to change the color of selected image

just add another if let check after

if let image = item.image

just like this:

if let selectedImage = item.selectedImage {
            item.selectedImage = selectedImage.imageWithColor(UIColor.yellowColor()).imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysOriginal)
        }

this solved the problem perfectly. And a little addition, since Swift 1.2 and Xcode 6.3.2 you need

for item in self.tabBar.items as! [UITabBarItem]

instead of

for item in self.tabBar.items as [UITabBarItem]

Hope that helps!
