UIBarButtonItem with custom image and no border

Question

I want to create a UIBarButtonItem with a custom image, but I don\'t want the border that iPhone adds, as my Image has a special border.

This can also be done programmatically as well (of-course):

First, create a custom view. This custom view can contain an image, button or whatever else you would like. The custom view can be made programmatically or in IB:

UIImage *customImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"imageName"];
UIView *customView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, customImage.size.width, customImage.size.height)];
customView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:customImage];

Next, create a UIBarButtonItem and initialize it with the custom view.

UIBarButtonItem *customBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:customView];

Now, just add the custom UIBarButton to the leftBarButtonItem:

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = customBarButtonItem;
