Customize the appearance of UITabBar

Question

I want to customize the UITabBar in order to have a tab in the middle that has curved border on top and slightly greater height than the other tabs, the idea might look like this http://grazsecrets.at/ , the only difference is that it uses a logo.

Answer 1

Check out the Tab Bar alternatives at CocoaControls

Answer 2

There’s a great article on how to achieve this effect with an otherwise standard UITabBar over at iDev Recipes. For an entirely customized one à la Grazsecrets, though, you’ll need to roll your own custom solution with a row of UIButtons.
