How to Change the TabView "Dot" Index Color in SwiftUI: A Simple Guide

When developing apps with SwiftUI, you might encounter a situation where the default color of the dot index in a TabView does not suit your design needs. By default, these dots appear as white, and there seems to be a lack of immediate solutions for changing their color. If you’ve been struggling to modify the dot index color when using .tabViewStyle(PageTabViewStyle(indexDisplayMode: .always)), you’re not alone. In this guide, we’ll dive into how you can overcome this challenge effectively.

The Problem

You want your TabView to reflect your app's branding or design, and the white dots indicating the current page index just don't fit with your color scheme. This can be frustrating, especially when changes you see in the preview do not appear in the simulator.

Key Points to Remember:

The dot index color isn't directly configurable in the TabView.

Changes are visible in previews but might not carry through to the simulator.

The Solution

The solution to this problem lies in how you set the appearance of the UIPageControl, which manages the dot indicators. Rather than using onAppear, which may not consistently apply the color changes, we will utilize the init method of your View.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Define Your View Structure: Start by defining your SwiftUI View using struct.

Implement the init Method: Within the init method, you can customize the appearance of UIPageControl.

Body of Your View: Ensure your TabView is set up to include the necessary items.

Here's an adjusted code snippet demonstrating the necessary changes:

Code Breakdown:

Appearance Customizations: By setting the colors in the init method, you ensure that your settings take effect when the view is created.

TabView Setup: This is where you define each tab in your interface, ensuring that everything is organized appropriately.

Conclusion

Customizing the dot index color in a TabView using SwiftUI can be straightforward once you know the right approach. By utilizing the init method of your View to modify the appearance of the UIPageControl, you can effectively change the colors to match your app's design. Next time you need to make those dots pop with color, just remember this solution!

This approach not only resolves the issue at hand but also enhances your skills in effectively managing the appearance of your SwiftUI components.
