I have an app that runs perfectly on iOS 6. I\'ve set a blinking effect to a UISlider\'s thumb this way:
-(void)startBlinkingSlider{
isSliderBlinking = Y
On basis of @aaronsti's answer I found that the following worked for me. Setting thumb-image to nil had no effect.
[_slider setThumbImage:[_slider thumbImageForState:UIControlStateNormal] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
_slider.minimumTrackTintColor = minTintColor;
_slider.thumbTintColor = thumbTintColor;
