UISearchBar solid color

Question

I would like to have a UISearchBar with a solid color rather than a gradient.

I have this:

UISearchBar *mySearchBar = [[UISearchBar alloc] initWithFrame:self.tableView.bounds];
[mySearchBar sizeToFit];
mySearchBar.showsCancelButton = NO;
mySearchBar.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.976 green:0.489 blue:0.0824 alpha:1.0];

And it gives me a gradient. How can I make it a solid color?

Answer 1

The color is used to 'tint' the bar, you can't use a solid.
