I want to add border color for dots in UIPageControl. Here is the small picture of it:

I am able to put second dot by configuring it from XCode but I cannot make the first and third circles' inside empty. Is there a simple way to achieve that?

Thanks :)

Edited- Swift 3 & 4 extension to achieve the same result-

extension UIPageControl {

    func customPageControl(dotFillColor:UIColor, dotBorderColor:UIColor, dotBorderWidth:CGFloat) {
        for (pageIndex, dotView) in self.subviews.enumerated() {
            if self.currentPage == pageIndex {
                dotView.backgroundColor = dotFillColor
                dotView.layer.cornerRadius = dotView.frame.size.height / 2
            }else{
                dotView.backgroundColor = .clear
                dotView.layer.cornerRadius = dotView.frame.size.height / 2
                dotView.layer.borderColor = dotBorderColor.cgColor
                dotView.layer.borderWidth = dotBorderWidth
            }
        }
    }

}

to use it write below code in viewDidLoad() or viewDidAppear()

pageControl.customPageControl(dotFillColor: .orange, dotBorderColor: .green, dotBorderWidth: 2)

In Objective-C use below code-

- (void) customPageControlWithFillColor:(UIColor*)dotFillColor borderColor:(UIColor*)dotBorderColor borderWidth:(CGFloat)dotBorderWidth {
    for (int pageIndex = 0; pageIndex < _pageControl.numberOfPages; pageIndex++) {
        UIView* dotView = [_pageControl.subviews objectAtIndex:pageIndex];
        if (_pageControl.currentPage == pageIndex) {
            dotView.backgroundColor = dotFillColor;
            dotView.layer.cornerRadius = dotView.frame.size.height / 2;
        } else {
            dotView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
            dotView.layer.cornerRadius = dotView.frame.size.height / 2;
            dotView.layer.borderColor = dotBorderColor.CGColor;
            dotView.layer.borderWidth = dotBorderWidth;
        }
    }
}

Output-
