Tab Bar icons
Just a quick question on the tab bar control.
What size are the icons. I want to use my own text and icon but can't find the icon size in the documentation.
Anybody know?
Thanks

I just used the screenshot capture and dragged around one of the stock images to guesstimate a good size...I came up with 30x30px, and that actually fit very well.
You could probably go wider depending on your situation, but I think you would only have room to go maybe 5-10px taller.
Also, I used a light gray to dark gray gradient to simulate the stock images. The application automatically applies the blue glow when you click.

Yep, I find that anywhere from 25-30px height and width seems to fit quite well. Just eye it, there is no real requirement for their sizes.

Thanks. I thought about 30 px was right. But when I save the image and add it to my project and set it as the tab bar icon all I get is a blue gradient square. I have tried saving as png, tiff and jpeg but I still get this blue square instead of my image. Any ideas?

The tab bar image is 30x30 - mentions it somewhere in the documentation.
You'll also have to supply a grey scale image. The iPhone will automatically fill it with a blue gradient IF it is the selected tab.
At present I do not believe you can change this colour - not with standard methods anyway.
You'll have to include a transparent background if you want it to be transparent.

You can see examples of tab bar icons in "The Elements" sample code.
