.tint and .accentColor affect WAY more than just the tab bar and seeps into toggles, navigation bar button items, sliders, etc., and it seems like a giant pain to set every single component accent individually to avoid this. How can I change the selected item color without affecting any other components?

I’ve tried setting .foregroundColor/.foregroundStyle on the tab item views (doesn’t work).

I also tried setting this in the init with no appreciable effect:

init {
    let tabBarAppearance = UITabBarAppearance()
    tabBarAppearance.configureWithDefaultBackground()
    tabBarAppearance.stackedLayoutAppearance.selected.iconColor = UIColor.red
    tabBarAppearance.stackedLayoutAppearance.selected.titleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.red]
    tabBarAppearance.stackedLayoutAppearance.normal.iconColor = UIColor.lightGray
    tabBarAppearance.stackedLayoutAppearance.normal.titleTextAttributes = [.foregroundColor: UIColor.lightGray]
    UITabBar.appearance().standardAppearance = tabBarAppearance
    UITabBar.appearance().scrollEdgeAppearance = tabBarAppearance
}

I’d prefer not using a custom made tab bar in an overlay if possible. Is there any way to achieve this in the native tab bar without changing the colors of any other component?
