I am trying to create a tabBarItem image in Inkscape. I drew a simple black icon in a 30 x 30 pixel inkscape file. I saved as png and svg. I assumed that the background would be transparent by default when I saved as png. However, when I bring it into Xcode and make it my tabBarItem, I get a solid white square, indicating that the image is not transparent and the whole thing is being treated as black pixels.
How do I export it in greyscale with a transparent background so that I will get the expected appearance in iOS?
Thanks,
Dessie
There's a discussion about transparent backgrounds in Inkscape here that may shed some light:
