Based on http://blog.theanalogguy.be/ works for me. Add the category UItabBarItem (CustomUnselectedImage) - haven't effect =(

the *.h

@interface CustomTabBarItem : UITabBarItem {  
    UIImage *customHighlightedImage;  
    UIImage *customNormalImage;  
}  

@property (nonatomic, retain) UIImage *customHighlightedImage;  
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIImage *customNormalImage;  

- (id)initWithTitle:(NSString *)title 
        normalImage:(UIImage *)normalImage 
    highlightedImage:(UIImage *)highlightedImage 
                tag:(NSInteger)tag;
@end

and *.m

#import "CustomTabBarItem.h"

@implementation CustomTabBarItem  

@synthesize customHighlightedImage;  
@synthesize customNormalImage;  

- (id)initWithTitle:(NSString *)title 
        normalImage:(UIImage *)normalImage 
    highlightedImage:(UIImage *)highlightedImage 
                tag:(NSInteger)tag{

    [self initWithTitle:title
                    image:nil
                    tag:tag];
    [self setCustomNormalImage:normalImage];
    [self setCustomHighlightedImage:highlightedImage];
    return self;
}

- (void) dealloc  
{  
    [customHighlightedImage release];
    customHighlightedImage=nil;  
    [customNormalImage release]; 
    customNormalImage=nil;  
    [super dealloc];  
}  

-(UIImage *) selectedImage  
{  
    return self.customHighlightedImage;  
}  

-(UIImage *) unselectedImage  
{  
    return self.customNormalImage;  
}  

@end  

happy coding =]-
