Change the colour of tab bar icons and table background under the "More" tab?

I have around 7 tab bar items and hence have been given a 'more' tab bar item. All the other tab bar items are using the 'Original' mode instead of 'Template' but when i select the 'more' tab, the remaining icons are back to 'Template' until they're dragged to the tab bar after pressing edit. As well as this, my other views are tableviews with a coloured background, when i select the 'more' tab, the tableview presented has a white background. I managed to fix this for the tableview but the cells within are white, with the empty cells having the correct colour. Any idea how i'd fix these issues?
