# selectionIndicatorImage

The image to use for the selection indicator.

## Declaration

```swift
var selectionIndicatorImage: UIImage? { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this property to specify a custom selection image. Your image is rendered on top of the tab bar but behind the contents of the tab bar item itself. The default value of this property is nil, which causes the tab bar to apply a default highlight to the selected item.
