UIButton with cust. background looks bad when pressed

Normal:

Pressed:

Post some code or maybe the image itself. It looks as if you might need to declare your 'pressed' image with one of UIImage's resizableImage* methods. It's stretching to fill the button rect.

Also, I'm fond of the MOButton and MOGlassButton classes used in the iPhone SOCKS project (handy in itself).

Update

The following worked for me, it even animated it dark when pressed:

[btn setBackgroundImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"button_red.png"] resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(12, 12, 20, 12)] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btn setBackgroundImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"button_red_pressed.png"] resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(12, 12, 20, 12)] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];

This should solve the problem.

Also, change your button style to Custom, this will remove that blue button background.
