UISlider thumbTintColor doesn't change on iOS 7 (fine on iOS 6)

Question

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         


        

Answer 1

I discovered a workaround. By first calling the 'setThumbImage:forState:' method, the 'thumbTintColor' property will then take effect.

[self.slider setThumbImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Thumb.png"] 
                  forState:UIControlStateNormal];
self.slider.thumbTintColor = [UIColor blackColor];

I tested this on Version 7.0 (463.9.4.2) of iOS Simulator.
