Answer 1

You have everything correct. Just set your button type to UIButtonTypeCustom..

button =    [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
button.frame    =   CGRectMake(200, 8, 100, 30);
[button setTitle:@"Set up" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button setBackgroundColor:[UIColor greenColor]];
button.clipsToBounds    =   YES;
button.layer.cornerRadius   =   10;
button.alpha        =   0.5;
