  • unselectedItemLabelColor: The color for unselected items' icons (default = grey)
  • selectedItemTextStyle: The text style to use for the selected item's label. The selectedItemLabelColor takes priority over any color attribute of the style (defaults to size = 13.0, weight = Bold)
  • unselectedItemTextStyle: The text style to use for the unselected items' labels (defaults to size = 12.0, weight = Normal)
