One fairly decent way to be sure, is to grab a screenshot, and pull out all the color in photoshop and see if you can still tell whats going on.

Most people with colorblindness can still diferentiate saturation, but have problems with various color combinations.

So say a hypothetical person that confuses red and green, using red and green (your designer will vomit before the colorblind person will though lol) at the same brightness might cause problems, but a bright and a dark one should still in theory be fine, as long as your not relying solely on color to relay information (Ie a green light for yay and a red light for boo)

For more advanced ideas on it, look up colorjack colorwheel. Other than being a great tool for coming up with stylish color combinations, you can get it to simulate various types of colorblindness and see for yourself it’ll cause folks with those conditions problems.

Mistyped sorry

[self.tabBarController.tabBar insertSubview:imgView atIndex:0];
[self.tabBarController.tabBar bringSubviewToFront:imgView];

The following code should fix the issue when, if you tap a selected tabBarItem twice (or rotate the device), the active state will show.

[self.tabBarController.tabBar imgView:background atIndex:0];
[self.tabBarController.tabBar bringSubviewToFront:imgView];

This way, the code brings background image view to front. Interesting is that UITabBarButtons (and the glossy effect) are under the background image, but still selectable.
