Customizing the colors of a UISegmentedControl

Question

Does anybody know of a way to customize the appearance of the string based UISegmentedControl? I am trying to set the background color of the cell and the text color differe

Answer 1

The best way I have found of doing something like this is setting different attributes for different UIControlStates on the segmented control.

self.segmentedControl.tintColor = [UIColor cb_Grey1Color];
self.segmentedControl.backgroundColor = [UIColor cb_Grey3Color];
NSDictionary *selectedAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                    [UIFont cbGothamBookFontWithSize:13.0], NSFontAttributeName,
                                    [UIColor whiteColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
                                    [UIColor cb_Grey1Color], NSBackgroundColorAttributeName, nil];
[self.segmentedControl setTitleTextAttributes:selectedAttributes forState:UIControlStateSelected];
NSDictionary *unselectedAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                      [UIFont cbGothamBookFontWithSize:13.0], NSFontAttributeName,
                                      [UIColor cb_Grey2Color], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
                                      [UIColor cb_Grey3Color], NSBackgroundColorAttributeName, nil];
[self.segmentedControl setTitleTextAttributes:unselectedAttributes forState:UIControlStateNormal];
