Here's some copy paste friendly code for what the others are discussing.

scopeBar.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar; //required for color change
for (id subview in self.searchDisplayController.searchBar.subviews )
{
    if([subview isMemberOfClass:[UISegmentedControl class]])
    {
        UISegmentedControl *scopeBar=(UISegmentedControl *) subview;
        scopeBar.tintColor =  [UIColor blackColor];         
    }
}

If you a white box like area around your buttons, you can change the color of that through interface builder.

I wouldn't say it looks "like ass" as the others do, but it isn't really ideal either.
