Change the height of NavigationBar and UIBarButtonItem elements inside it in Cocoa Touch

Question

I suppose it\'s not strictly in line with Apple guidelines but I guess it must be possible somehow. I\'d like to change the height of navigation bar inside UINavigationContr

Maybe this tutorial about a customized navbar will help you: Recreating the iBooks wood themed navigation bar

If you create a BarButtonItem with a UIImageView you can maybe change the framesize/boundsize of the custom UIImageView

UIImageView* imageView = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:navigationController.navigationBar.frame] autorelease];
imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeLeft;
imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"NavBar-iPhone.png"];
[navigationController.navigationBar insertSubview:imageView atIndex:0];

So for your need you would give the -initWithFrame method appropriate values.
