How to change white background when UISegmentedControl focused?

Question

I try to change white background color in segment if UISegmentedControl gets focus. Please look the folowing screenshot:

And I need to change this white background color into clear. Something like this:

So I've created subclass of UISegmentedControl and ovveride didUpdateFocus(in:with:) Look please the following screenshot:

But after that focus doesn't change anymore and I can't jump to next segment of UISegmentedControl.

I saw similar question here, but I wasn't succeed of it.

It's tvOS and deployment target is 11.1.

Why is that? What is the better approach to change background color when focused? Please help me.

Answer 1

I fixed this problem by replacing UISegmentControl to UICollectionView.

Answer 2

Try this way (at initialization phase):

 segment.selectedSegmentTintColor = .clear

here segment: UISegmentedControl

Answer 3

Maybe I misunderstood your question, but have you tried to change segmentControl.selectedSegmentTintColor property?
