Adjust image on UIButton

I have custom button, with an image that I'd like to shift down within the button. I don't want to mess with the clickable portion of the button, but just want the image moved. I've tried adjusting button.imageview.frame, but it didn't seem to do anything.

Here's my code:

UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
button.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 25.0, 25.0);
UIImage *buttonOnImage = [@"tabbar_icon_0"];

[button setImage:buttonOnImage forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[button setImage:buttonOnImage forState:UIControlStateSelected];

UIButton has imageEdgeInsets property, which can be used to shift image inside the button.

In most cases it helps a lot. You can access it from IB (in Edge drop down choose Image and then change Inset fields), so you can try different values and see if it works for your situation.

Could you not adjust the image's size by padding it out with transparency in Photoshop?
