Adding image to the segment controller - ios7

Question

Prior to iOS 7 it was easy to add colored image to the segment controller, but now if I add image to it, only the image is visible with the default Tint color and not the actual color.
Does any one have idea about this, if so kindly help me out.
Thanx in advance.

Answer 1

Fix it with: imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal
UIImage *segmentImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Example"];
if ([UIImage instancesRespondToSelector:#selector(imageWithRenderingMode:)]) {
segmentImage = [segmentImage imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];
}
[self.control insertSegmentWithImage:segmentImage atIndex:i animated:NO];

This may help you
UIImage *segmentSelected = [[UIImage imageNamed:#"Off.png"]
resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(6, 6, 6, 6)];
UIImage *segmentUnselected = [[UIImage imageNamed:#"On.png"]
resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(6, 6, 6, 6)];
UIImage *segmentSelectedUnselected =
[UIImage imageNamed:#"dividerOn.png"];
UIImage *segUnselectedSelected =
[UIImage imageNamed:#"dividerOff.png"];
[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setBackgroundImage:segmentUnselected
forState:UIControlStateNormal barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setBackgroundImage:segmentSelected
forState:UIControlStateSelected barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setBackgroundImage:segmentUnselected
forState:UIControlStateHighlighted barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setDividerImage:segUnselectedSelected
forLeftSegmentState:UIControlStateNormal // | UIControlStateHighlighted
rightSegmentState:UIControlStateSelected
barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setDividerImage:segUnselectedSelected
forLeftSegmentState:UIControlStateHighlighted
rightSegmentState:UIControlStateSelected
barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setDividerImage:segmentSelectedUnselected
forLeftSegmentState:UIControlStateSelected
rightSegmentState:UIControlStateNormal //| UIControlStateHighlighted)
barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setDividerImage:segmentSelectedUnselected
forLeftSegmentState:UIControlStateSelected
rightSegmentState:UIControlStateHighlighted
barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
UIFont *font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:16.0f];
UIColor *textColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor];
NSDictionary *attributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
font, #"NSFontAttributeName",
textColor, #"NSForegroundColorAttributeName",
nil];
[[UISegmentedControl appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:attributes
forState:UIControlStateNormal];

simply change the segmentController tintcolor to UIColor clearColor, use style controlstyleborder
SegmentControl.backgroundColor= [UIColor clearColor];
[SegmentControl setTintColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
