Change color of magnifying glass

Question

Hi,

The color of a magnifying glass is being taken automatically from the background color of UITextView. Under the text view I have an image and the text view background itself is opaque. So in this case the magnifying glass is white even though the picture under UITextView is yellow.

Is it possible to override the color of magnifying glass?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

I do not believe this is possible on a non jailbroken iPhone.

Answer 2

Subclass UITextView/UITextField, override -drawRect and do your own drawing, then you can use .backgroundColor to set the magnifying glass tint.
