Remove gloss/gradient effect from Navigation/Tab bars

Question

I would like to remove the gradient effect that occurs in the UINavigationBar and UITabBar. The following picture shows an example tab bar using the custom UIColor of 7/29/88 (RGB), set using setTintColor:color and as you can see, the tab bar has a gloss in the top half of the bar.

How do I remove this?

Answer 1

It's not possible. However you can use custom background images. Check UIAppearance documentation
