    text
    copied!<p>I am doing a lot of researching lately about how to get a different looking with nice effects <code>UITabBar</code> on my iPhone app, but unfortunately I am only finding things on how to replace background color etc.</p> <p>Well, I've checked out this app called <a href="http://www.momentoapp.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Momento</a> which is pretty cool and presents a very slick tabBar:</p> <p><img src="https://cl.ly/3wP7/Screen_shot_2011-01-09_at_15.31.57.png" alt="Momento's UITabBar"/></p> <p>So there are a couple of elements here I would like to ask you guys if you could help me by giving me the right directions on how to get a similar effect :)</p> <ul> <li><p><strong>Arrow above items:</strong> as you can see this app has this animated arrow that runs above the selected item with a very smooth animation.</p></li> <li><p><strong>Selected Stated of the item's image</strong> is not that blue-<em>ish</em> default one neither the default state which displays in a different shade of brown and gray version.</p></li> <li><p><strong>nice Items separators</strong> with beveled vertical lines.</p></li> <li><p><strong>diferrent background image</strong> for the tabBar</p></li> <li><p><strong>different height</strong> for the tabBar</p></li> </ul> <p>At this point after some research I am able to set the height and background image by subclassing <code>UITabBarController</code> but I'm still not sure on how to accomplish the other items specially the first one related to the nice arrow effect.</p> <p>If someone knows about a very good tutorial on how to do this it would be great for clarifying what can or can't be done by subclassing the <code>UITabBarController</code> and specially if can be done in Interface Builder :)</p> <p>I am just starting on this world off app development for iOS so if you could help me on that it would be really appreciated</p> <p>Thanks a lot in advance</p>
