iOS Text Selection Magnifying Glass Color? - ios

In testing, I discovered the "magnifying glass" color for text selection in a view of my app is black, instead of being the normal magnifier. I have no idea why this is, I don't believe I set it.
How can I change this back to the standard magnifying glass?
Here is a screenshot:

Use UISegmentedControl to build a menu like this?

I'm trying to build a menu like this with Xcode 13 Swift 5.
Each item has different width, but the margin between two items are always the same. Additionally, the highlighting is also dynamic to text width. There will also views attached to each selected item.
Would it be possible to achieve it with UISegmentedControl?
thanks!
You can achieve this using UIStackview.
Look at the configuration that I have developed for you. Selected font color of the button is white and background color black otherwise font color black and bg blue. On selecting any button deselect the previous one, and boom: achieved.

XCode UIButton confusion

I'm having some confusion about UIButton on the storyboard. I create a new button, change the background color, and the color is always darker than what I choose. In this example, the actual color that is being displayed is #163ca1 (22, 60, 161), even though I clearly picked something lighter:
Wassup with that? The thing is, if I set the background color programmatically it displays the correct color. This issue extends to other view elements as well.
Also, what does Tint color do? It seems like it has a different function depending on the element in question, but in this case it seems to have no effect. I figured it was for the highlighted state, but no matter what I change it to the button text maintains a light blue color on click.

Change UIWindow background color to ClearColor.

Tab Bar Item Shadow Effect

I don't want the default style of touching the tabBarItem, which is making the one choosing to be white and others be grey. I want to make them to be white all the time, and the one choosing having a rectangle containing the icon with darker color? Just like the one below.How can I achieve this?

How do I achieve the "Find My Friends" button look using iOS 5? it is as if the buttons are stamped into the leather

How do I achieve the "Find My Friends" button look using iOS 5? it is as if the buttons are stamped into the leather.
I like the look of the Find My Friends app, it looks like leather and the buttons look like they are stamped into the leather. So, I was wondering how do I achieve this stamped in effect. I know how to set the background image in iOS 5 on a UINavigationBar, and I can set the tint color of a UIBarButton.
But, how do I get the image on the UINavigationBar to bleed through to the UIBarButton?
Everything I've tried leads to a black button and no bleeding of the background image.
I was thinking that there must be a way to set the transparency of the UIBarButton.
Does anyone know if this possible in iOS 5?
Or, do I need to do this?
Create a custom button image that is in the shape of the button image : rounded corners , 3D button effect and a transparent color in the middle.
This way the leather will show through where it is transparent in the middle of the button.
Thanks in advance! Brian.
Get your artist to draw the stamped button for you. The system is not going to offer any help.
I'm pretty sure you'll need to go with building a custom button image that has a translucent background colour for the leather to show through.
As you've mentioned, you can set the tintColor property on UIBarButtonItem, but this doesn't seem to respect the alpha of the colour you set. The image seems the best way to go.
