UIButton selection color [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can try to use another image to do the job. You can also refer to this link:

Is it even possible to change a UIButtons background color?

Answer 2

Ya, you can create a 1px by 1px "blue colored" image and use the following:

[yourButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"theImageYouMade.png"] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];

You can't use "setImage:" in my method because the highlighted state of the button will actually just display the 1px by 1px image in the center of the button.

My method works for variable sized buttons. Using setImage: requires you to make images that are exactly the same size as your button.

Answer 3

You can do following to set images for your state (normal/highlight/selected). You have to have images.

[downButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"white.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[downButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"blue.png"] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];

Answer 4

Provide a background image for UIControlStateHighlighted. Also it might help to turn off adjustsImageWhenHighlighted, though this should not matter if you're providing a separate background image for the highlighted state.

Answer 5

Maybe set a different background image for a different state?
