Before submitting a new issue

  • I tested using the latest version of the library, as the bug might be already fixed.
  • I tested using a supported version of react native.
  • I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

Bug summary

In the application I use only dark color and would like to keep the same backGround color for tabBar, everything works fine but when I enable "Reduce Transparency" background color got overwritten, see attached video.
