  • Background Color
    Here you define the background color of your Tab Bar.

  • Translucent
    If this checkbox is activated, the Tab Bar is displayed with a slight transparency. In addition, the area for displaying the other elements of the screen no longer ends above the Tab Bar, but at the bottom of the screen, i.e. now behind the Tab Bar.

    If this checkbox is active and you add a List View to the screen for example, then you have to insert some space below the last entry so that the last entries do not disappear behind the Tab Bar. This distance can be set in the “Scroll Insets”.

  • Dark Style
    If this checkbox is activated, the background of the Tab Bar will be dark and the font bright. Which colors are used depends on the iOS version.

Font

  • Change Default Font
    The standard font of the iOS version installed on the user’s device is used for the Tab Bar texts. If you want to change this font, activate this checkbox. This displays the corresponding setting options.
