UITabBarItem title position

Question

On searching the web on how to adjust the position of a UITabBarItem title position i ran over this similar post and still wondering how to do that.

Is it even possible to adjust the title position a bit from the bottom up? (for example 5px) I need this because i have custom images and now the position of the title is not perfect.

Answer 1

If you want to move up simply set vertical offset to negative value

UITabBarItem* it = [[self.tabController.tabBar items] objectAtIndex:0];
it.titlePositionAdjustment = UIOffsetMake(0.0, -2.0);

You don't have to use proxy as it is done here UITabBarItem title in centre of title, not at bottom.You can define offset per item.

Answer 2

If you want to update all of them:

tabBar.items?.forEach({ $0.titlePositionAdjustment = UIOffset(horizontal: 0.0, vertical: -2.0) })

Answer 3

Swift version for the lazy ones :)

UITabBarItem.appearance().titlePositionAdjustment = UIOffsetMake(0.0, -4.0)
