In my previous post I talked about pimping the standard UISlider, I did the same with the UIButton and in both cases I found out that changing the images of the controls in Interface Builder doesn’t give you the expected result.
For instance, to pimp the UIButton I changed the background image to a nicely shining transparent and glowing button but when I set this image in Interface Builder it still showed the standard button image behind it. If you have a non transparent image that nicely fills the UIButton you probably won’t notice it but in my case it was really obvious.
When you create the button in code it appears just like you expect, no residue what so ever of the original UIButton.
If somebody has a solution or some advice on this topic please enlighten me.
UPDATE:
Fred Garvin has shown me the light.
In IB, if you use the UIButton and you want custom graphics, you need to set the "type" to "custom" (this gets rid of the other button image stuff). Then use the "Image" rather than the "Background Image" for the various assets (up, over, down states etc) by switching the drop down that defaults to "All".
