Coloured Buttons Question

[coulls]

Hi all,

I have a rather simple problem that is proving tricky to find a solution:

I have a UIView and on this are UIButtons. I want the buttons to have a somewhat better look than the standard white background. My two ideas were a) to have glass looking buttons, or b) something like the UIBarButton with it's tinted gradient colours.

Is there a property where I can set this? (I read that tintColor has been removed?) Or, is the only way to use a graphic image instead?

Cheers,

Jase

I wonder if the custom property would allow you to select a graphic image for the button?????

Hi there,

I can create a graphic if that's what needs to be done - but was wondering if there's actually a setting that doesn't require me to ship 50 different sized images for the app. ha ha!

Check out this tutorial. It explains the whole process of using a single image for multiple buttons of any size.

He makes very good use of

[UIImage stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:W topCapHeight:H];
