Tab Bar Controller Customization and "More" Problem - iphone

Question

Here's the problem:
I have a tab bar controller customized so the tab item highlights are yellow instead of the default blue. What's wrong is that the "More" item comes up because I have too many tab items (removing them is not really an option), and this "more" is still blue.
I used classes I got from the internet to implement the customization. Here is the code:
// UITabBar+ColorExtensions.m
#implementation UITabBar (ColorExtensions)
- (void)recolorItemsWithColor:(UIColor *)color shadowColor:(UIColor *)shadowColor shadowOffset:(CGSize)shadowOffset shadowBlur:(CGFloat)shadowBlur
{
CGColorRef cgColor = [color CGColor];
CGColorRef cgShadowColor = [shadowColor CGColor];
for (UITabBarItem *item in [self items])
if ([item respondsToSelector:#selector(selectedImage)] &&
[item respondsToSelector:#selector(setSelectedImage:)] &&
[item respondsToSelector:#selector(_updateView)])
{
CGRect contextRect;
contextRect.origin.x = 0.0f;
contextRect.origin.y = 0.0f;
contextRect.size = [[item selectedImage] size];
// Retrieve source image and begin image context
UIImage *itemImage = [item image];
CGSize itemImageSize = [itemImage size];
CGPoint itemImagePosition;
itemImagePosition.x = ceilf((contextRect.size.width - itemImageSize.width) / 2);
itemImagePosition.y = ceilf((contextRect.size.height - itemImageSize.height) / 2);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(contextRect.size);
CGContextRef c = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
// Setup shadow
CGContextSetShadowWithColor(c, shadowOffset, shadowBlur, cgShadowColor);
// Setup transparency layer and clip to mask
CGContextBeginTransparencyLayer(c, NULL);
CGContextScaleCTM(c, 1.0, -1.0);
CGContextClipToMask(c, CGRectMake(itemImagePosition.x, -itemImagePosition.y, itemImageSize.width, -itemImageSize.height), [itemImage CGImage]);
// Fill and end the transparency layer
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(c, cgColor);
contextRect.size.height = -contextRect.size.height;
CGContextFillRect(c, contextRect);
CGContextEndTransparencyLayer(c);
// Set selected image and end context
[item setSelectedImage:UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()];
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
// Update the view
[item _updateView];
}
}
#end
and the controller:
#implementation AATabBarController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Put in a background
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, 48);
backgroundView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
[backgroundView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0.0
green:0.0
blue:0.0
alpha:0.1]];
[self.tabBar insertSubview:backgroundView atIndex:0];
}
-(void)dealloc {
[backgroundView release];
[super dealloc];
}
-(void)updateTabColor:(UIColor *)color {
// Recolor the tab bar
[self.tabBar recolorItemsWithColor:color shadowColor:[UIColor blackColor] shadowOffset:CGSizeMake(0.0f, -1.0f) shadowBlur:3.0f];
}
-(void)updateBackgroundColor:(UIColor *)color {
// Update the background color
[backgroundView setBackgroundColor:color];
}
#end
Does anyone know what I should do so the "more" tab item is the customized color?

Answer 1

That code looks very similar to the code in this question. I know you're asking a different question here (the linked Q asks "will my app be rejected" to which the answer is "yes"). Nevertheless, you're using the same private UITabBarItem methods, so it's unlikely that anyone can give you a reliable answer.
