can anyone tell me how to change the colour at the bottom of an iPhone app that has the swipe horizontal bar? So I can have it the same colour as the header/footer bars.
I have included an image to show the area I am talking about. Alternatively is there a plugin available for this?
Many thanks.

I have an app that I can't update for the new size of the iPhone 5- basically it's built around the asset sizes I have, and there's no way to get updated assets. The app still works fine, but it has a solid white background, and the letterbox (the black bars at the top and bottom) is black, which is really ugly.
Is there any way to set the color of the letterbox to white?
Well, you could just have google searched it. "You cant!". But there is a workaround. All you have to do is just add a "Default-568h#2x.png" file. You app will fill the display. All you have to do now is just add a white graphic on top and bottom if the device is iPhone5.
No, there is no way to do that :) But, you could resubmit your app without using updated assets and support iPhone 5 screen. To achieve that, 1) you have to add iPhone 5 launch screen. 2) make your view and subviews resizable so that they appear on their places (No need to create separate nibs) 3) test with iPhone 5 (iPhone 5 simulator), and you are good to go ;) Good Luck!
You know that grey circle with white "X" in it in textboxes for iPhone controls that is used to delete the current line of text, is that available as an icon somewhere? I'd like to put that icon along with the words "Clear" into a UIButton but not sure if that is availalbe. Thanks.
Apple's website uses a reset icon in its search field that you could download. Not sure how well it will work with the iPhone 4 display PPI though. (It doesn't seem to appear when I visit the site with an iPhone.)
This is not part of the public API, you'd have to use your own custom image. Which could simply mean using an editor to slice it out of a screen shot.
I'm converting an app from the iPhone to the iPad. The splash screen picture is the right size but when I enter the app after about half a second the picture goes from being perfectly sized to having the bottom and right areas out of screen and white areas above and to the left of the picture. How do I get it to stay in the screen the way it's loaded and not moved out of the screen?
The way it's loaded is probably from a default picture (Default.png). This picture is taken from the iPhone version and is being scaled. You can't make it so that this picture stays.
Check the autoresizingMask and frame properties of your view/picture and maybe also the bounds property.
This seems to be a problem with the status bar:
Maybe you did hide it in the iPhone version, and now you should hide it again for the iPad. Check the info.plist of your app
I have successfully placed an image into the lefthand ImageView of a default UITableViewCell and this shows up as a white image over the background blue of a selected row. However the image is invisible when the table cell background is white.
The image came from a 3rd party iPhone tabbar icon set, hence it is white. Can I programatically flip the image to black? Or is there an Apple Mac icon editing utility that will allow me to apply this change?
(I know some will be tempted to cast this question out to another end-user stackoverflow site but before you do consider that there are 100's or 1000's iPhone tabbar icons on the net and a few developers would probably be interested in adding these to their iPhone App UI outside of a UITabBar.)
Opacity is one of the best icon editing utilities. It has preview modes for how the icon will look on the iPhone, in the App Store, as well as on the web.
Also, Acorn is popular and easy to use.
Is there a way to create buttons similar to the glossy icon-buttons on the home screen on the iphone but in your own app? The only thing i've found to create image button is to create rounded rect-buttons and set the image or background property on it, but that does not automatically create the glossy surface and rounding.
You'll need to use images. Apple doesn't make the glossy UIGlassButton class public.
If you're after buttons the same size as on the home screen, on black background, you could just set the image as your Icon.png, install the app in the simulator, take a screenshot of the home screen with the generated glossy icon, cut the icon out, and repeat the whole process with the rest of your icons.
Maybe simpler, if you don't have Icon.png set in your app, you'll get the white button on the home screen. Take a screenshot of that, and use it in a layer in Photoshop or similar to lighten up the underlying layer with your icon.
If you need buttons with other sizes, have a look at this blog entry on Cocoa with Love. Those buttons don't look exactly like the ones on the home screen, but you might be happy with that look, or modify the code to your taste.
