  but it doesnt work for me so can you please tel me in detail how can i change the colo

I know, this is an old thread, but nonetheless for all of you looking for an answer.

One of the ways to customize the look of UITabBar is to override drawRect: method with use of categories. Choose to create new file in your Xcode project, choose Objective-C category, then type UITabBar for Category On textfield. Next, declare drawRect: method in your category .h file and implement it in category .m file like this:

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
    UIImage *img  = [UIImage imageNamed: @"tabbarBackground"];
    [img drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.frame.size.width, self.frame.size.height)];
}

This will change the looks of all UITabBar instances in your app.

Hope this helps.
