How can I create a big, red UIButton with iOS?

Question

Using iOS, how would I go about creating a red \"delete\" button similar to the one used when deleting contacts on the iPhone?

Answer 1

I think those ones are better (and they look fine on retina display too) :

.png generated from this very nice .psd file : http://www.teehanlax.com/blog/2010/08/12/iphone-4-gui-psd-retina-display/

And then use it as a strechable image for the background of your UIButton:

UIImage* greenButton = [UIImage imageNamed:@"UIButton_green.png"]; 
UIImage *newImage = [greenButton stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:greenButton.size.width/2 topCapHeight:greenButton.size.height/2];
[callButton setBackgroundImage:newImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
