How to hide iOS 6 UIButton "gradient"?

Question

When I place a UIButton on view that doesn't contain any white, a strange "gradient" is shown on the bottom of the button. This doesn't happen in iOS 5, nor does it happen when the background of the view beneath contains some white.

Here's a screenshot:

You see, on the bottom there's a sort of extra line, which I find quite ugly...

How do I remove/hide this effect?

I know exactly what you mean and I agree that it's ugly and annoying. — matt, May 09 '13 at 18:36

As far as I can tell, the only way around this is to make Custom button. It's part of the Rounded Rect button and you can't get rid of it.

There's some interesting discussion of the problem here:
