Custom UITextField clear button

Question

Is it possible to customize the image of the clear button in a UITextField? I have a dark textfield background and the \"x\" is not visible enough.

Answer 1

depends on @Tuss László's answer

Swift 3.0

myTextField.clearButtonMode = .whileEditing
if let clearButton = myTextField.value(forKeyPath: "_clearButton") as? UIButton {
    clearButton.setImage(UIImage(named:"myImage"), for: .normal)
    clearButton.setImage(UIImage(named:"myImage"), for: .highlighted)
}

But really use it carefully. If Apple change implementations in future iOS releases, it would not be work
