I'd like to be able to change the highlighted state image on an UITabBarItem when it is selected? Is it possible to subclass and access this? or do I need to roll my own navigation code?

-> start edit I didn't articulate what I was looking for earlier. I am looking for the semi-transparent white overlay reference that the device adds to the selected state/image of the UITabBar. See image! http://solomon71.com/images/UITabBarItem.png
