Answer 1

Check out this question and this question's answers, but be aware that your app might get rejected for modifying the default tabbar components like that.

Answer 2

Download a different jquery theme for the colors you want or set up your own themeroller to set the color dynamically.

Edit: Oh, just realized you meant that ui tabber control and not jquery ui tabs. It does seem quite convoluted... Why not try jquery anyway?

Answer 3

UITabBarItem is pretty much non-customizable so if you must, you could:

1. Piggyback by iterating thru the UITabBar’s subviews, find the labels using -[NSObject isKindOfClass:] and change their color.

2. Create your own UITabBar and roll custom tab bar items.

3. Try alternatives like Three20’s TTTabBar.
