How can I remove the glossy effect on a UITabbar?

I don'开发者_如何转开发t want the glossy selection that is on a standard UITabBar. Is there a way to remove the shine, and possibly add background texture instead of the black?

If your application is to be released on iOS 5, with no backward compatibility needed; goto to http://developer.apple.com and have a look, something on the iOS 5 beta pages might peek your interest :).

Otherwise you need to subclass UITabBar or make an equivalent replacement that draws using your custom needs.
