Changing width and height of Alert Message i-Phone - iphone

Question

Was wondering what the correct way would be to initialise my alert popup with a smaller window
-(void)alertMessage1:(NSString*) title:(NSString*) message1 {
UIAlertView *alert1 = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Successfully uploaded!" message:message1 delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Okay" otherButtonTitles:nil];
}

Answer 1

You can create a UIAlertview as you suggested like this
UIAlertView *alert=[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title Here" message:#"Message here" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert setDelegate:self];
[alert show];
[alert release];
and if you want to adjust the frame them use
- (void)willPresentAlertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView {
alertView.frame = CGRectMake(20.f, 200.f, 280.f, 93.f);
NSArray *subViewArray = alertView.subviews;
for(int x=0;x<[subViewArray count];x++){
if([[[subViewArray objectAtIndex:x] class] isSubclassOfClass:[UILabel class]])
{
UILabel *label = [subViewArray objectAtIndex:x];
label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
}
}
}
In this alertView.frame = CGRectMake(20.f, 200.f, 280.f, 93.f); the CGRectMake(X-position, Y-Position, width, Height). Change it and your work will be done.

You should create custom AlertView or use one of these :

For the question you raised in comment changing the background color of UIAlertview you can add the background image like this directly. I am not sure if you can add the color or not.
UIAlertView *theAlert = [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Atention" message: #"YOUR MESSAGE HERE", nil) delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:#"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil] autorelease];
[theAlert show];
UILabel *theTitle = [theAlert valueForKey:#"_titleLabel"];
[theTitle setTextColor:[UIColor redColor]];
UILabel *theBody = [theAlert valueForKey:#"_bodyTextLabel"];
[theBody setTextColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
UIImage *theImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Background.png"];
theImage = [theImage stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:16 topCapHeight:16];
CGSize theSize = [theAlert frame].size;
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(theSize);
[theImage drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, theSize.width, theSize.height)];
theImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
[[theAlert layer] setContents:[theImage CGImage]];
