/*
Default is YES.
You may force an opaque background by setting the property to NO.
If the tab bar has a custom background image, the default is inferred from the alpha
values of the image—YES if it has any pixel with alpha < 1.0
If you send setTranslucent:YES to a tab bar with an opaque custom background image
the tab bar will apply a system opacity less than 1.0 to the image.
If you send setTranslucent:NO to a tab bar with a translucent custom background image
the tab bar will provide an opaque background for the image using the bar's barTintColor if defined, or black
for UIBarStyleBlack or white for UIBarStyleDefault if barTintColor is nil.
