# tint(_:) Sets the tint within this view. ``` nonisolated func tint(_ tint: S?) -> some View where S : ShapeStyle ``` ## Parameters `tint` The tint to apply. ## Discussion Use this method to override the default accent color for this view with a given styling. Unlike an app’s accent color, which can be overridden by user preference, tint is always respected and should be used as a way to provide additional meaning to the control. Controls which are unable to style themselves using the given type of `ShapeStyle` will try to approximate the styling as best as they can (i.e. controls which can not style themselves using a gradient will attempt to use the color of the gradient’s first stop). This example shows a linear gauge tinted with a gradient from `ShapeStyle/blue` to `ShapeStyle/red`. ``` struct ControlTint: View { var body: some View { Gauge(value: 75, in: 0...100) { Text("Temperature") } .gaugeStyle(.linearCapacity) .tint(Gradient(colors: [.blue, .orange, .red])) } } ``` Some controls adapt to the tint color differently based on their style, the current platform, and the surrounding context. For example, in macOS, a button with the `PrimitiveButtonStyle/bordered` style doesn’t tint its background, but one with the `PrimitiveButtonStyle/borderedProminent` style does. In macOS, neither of these button styles tint their label, but they do in other platforms. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
