As you can see below, I've tried many ways of setting the background color to transparent like this (UI required), all to no avail. The background remains grey-ish like the image
<Tab.Navigator screenOptions={{
tabBarShowLabel: false,
swipeEnabled: false,

tabBarContentContainerStyle: {backgroundColor : 'transparent', display: 'flex', justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center'},
tabBarPressColor: '#3C60AA',
tabBarIndicatorStyle: {width: iconwidth , height: 5, backgroundColor: '#3C60AA', borderRadius: 20, marginStart: iconwidth *0.61},
lazy: true,
lazyPlaceholder: () => <POTab_lazy/>
}}>
<Tab.Screen name="POTab_1" ponent={POTab_1} options={{ tabBarAccessibilityLabel: 'Info',tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor }) => ( <Image source={require('../../assets/icon_info.png')} style={{width: 30, height: 30 }}/>), }}/>
<Tab.Screen name="POTab_2" ponent={POTab_2} options={{tabBarAccessibilityLabel: 'File',tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor }) => ( <Image source={require('../../assets/icon_file.png')} style={{width: 30, height: 30 }}/>),}}/>

<Tab.Screen name="POTab_4" ponent={POTab_4} options={{tabBarAccessibilityLabel: 'Link',tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor }) => ( <Image source={require('../../assets/icon_link.png')} style={{width: 30, height: 30 }}/>),}}/>

</Tab.Navigator>
); }
POTab_1.js code looks like this

Reset to default 9If you're trying to change the screens, not the tab bar itself, I found setting sceneContainerStyle
to be the way to do it:
<Tab.Navigator sceneContainerStyle={{backgroundColor: 'transparent'}} >
If you want to set background color for the whole tab bar, then we need to provide the style in tabBarOptions
prop to the Tab.Navigator.
Consider the following code snippet.
<Tab.Navigator
tabBarOptions={{
style: {
backgroundColor: 'transparent',
}
}}>
Updated your code to include tabBarOptions
<Tab.Navigator screenOptions={{
tabBarShowLabel: false,
swipeEnabled: false,
tabBarShowIcon: true,
tabBarItemStyle: { width: iconwidth },
tabBarStyle: { backgroundColor: 'transparent', paddingBottom: 10},
tabBarContentContainerStyle: {backgroundColor : 'transparent', display: 'flex', justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'center'},
tabBarPressColor: '#3C60AA',
tabBarIndicatorStyle: {width: iconwidth , height: 5, backgroundColor: '#3C60AA', borderRadius: 20, marginStart: iconwidth *0.61},
lazy: true,
lazyPlaceholder: () => <POTab_lazy/>
}}
tabBarOptions={{
style: {
backgroundColor: 'transparent',
}
}}>
<Tab.Screen name="POTab_1" ponent={POTab_1} options={{ tabBarAccessibilityLabel: 'Info',tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor }) => ( <Image source={require('../../assets/icon_info.png')} style={{width: 30, height: 30 }}/>), }}/>
<Tab.Screen name="POTab_2" ponent={POTab_2} options={{tabBarAccessibilityLabel: 'File',tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor }) => ( <Image source={require('../../assets/icon_file.png')} style={{width: 30, height: 30 }}/>),}}/>
<Tab.Screen name="POTab_3" ponent={POTab_3} options={{tabBarAccessibilityLabel: 'Attach',tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor }) => ( <Image source={require('../../assets/icon_attach.png')} style={{width: 30, height: 30 }}/>),}}/>
<Tab.Screen name="POTab_4" ponent={POTab_4} options={{tabBarAccessibilityLabel: 'Link',tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor }) => ( <Image source={require('../../assets/icon_link.png')} style={{width: 30, height: 30 }}/>),}}/>
<Tab.Screen name="POTab_5" ponent={POTab_5} options={{tabBarAccessibilityLabel: 'Timer',tabBarIcon: ({ tintColor }) => ( <Image source={require('../../assets/icon_timer.png')} style={{width: 30, height: 30 }}/>),}}/>
</Tab.Navigator>
