Customizing UITabBarItem

[boxidilshan]

Hi,

I need to customize UITabBarItem where I need to add a custom image but its a circular image and the boundary should expand beyond the UITabBar where it should display some of the parts of the button in the UIView of the application.

I am uploading a sample image. This is what I need to do. At the moment I can do that by setting customHighlightedImage. If so this works fine but it only applicable when user selects or highlights the tabbar item. However I need to keep that always. So how to achieve this behavior? The default tabItem.image property fits to the space and re-sizes based on that.




Thank you
