• UIImage category takes black images masks and renders with gray and blue selection gradients like UITabBar/UITabBarItem
• Uses UIView block animations to respect the hidesBottomBarWhenPushed property on contained UIViewControllers.
• Uses ObjC associatedObject API to associate tab items and the tab controller with contained view controllers.
