UISegmentedControl gives different background then single UIBarButtonItem

Question

Hi,

In my Ipad app i started with a single UIBarButtonItem at the right: That + picture is just white.

self.switchView.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = nil;
 UIBarButtonItem *rightButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"add.png"] style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(insertKnoopPressed)];
    self.switchView.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightButton;
    [rightButton release];

With result: http://img257.imageshack.us/i/schermafbeelding2010102.png/

Now i have implemented the UISegmentedControl with the same + button, and also some additonal buttons:

NSArray *segControlItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
        [UIImage imageNamed:@"location.png"], 
        [UIImage imageNamed:@"house.png"],
        [UIImage imageNamed:@"add.png"],
        nil];
 UISegmentedControl *segControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:segControlItems];


 segControl.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 135, 30);
 segControl.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
 segControl.momentary = NO;

 [segControl addTarget:self action:@selector(segAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];

 UIBarButtonItem *segBarItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:segControl];
 self.switchView.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = segBarItem;

 [segControl release];
 [segBarItem release];

With result: hhttp://img714.imageshack.us/i/schermafbeelding2010102.png/

How can i have the same background color then the first button? Because this layout sucks.

Thanks

You change the tintColor of the segControl using the following line of code

[segControl setTintColor: [UIColor colorWithRed:0.40 green:0.40 blue:0.40 alpha:1.0]];

Hope this helps you.
