How can I set a button background color on iPhone?

Question

How can I set a custom background color of a button?

Interface Builder doesn\'t seem to have an interface to do this.

Is it only available programmatically

Answer 1

I solved this problem by creating my own button in Fireworks. I drew a rounded rectangle of about the size I wanted, with the fill color and border color I wanted. Trim the canvas, and save as a PNG. In XCode, add the file to the Resources folder. You can use a Custom button in Interface Builder and specify the image as that PNG. It will resize it as needed, put the text on top, etc. The curve of the corners may distort if you have to resize it much from the original.
