How to implement Twitter like Tab bar in iOS 5 - ios5

Current version of Twiiter has a tab bar as shown below.
When I select a tab , it shows selected tab as pushed (deeper tab).
I want to implement same kind of tab bar in my iphone app for iOS 5.
How can I implement it ? Any knid of help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

You need create the image with the deeper look yourself and set the selectionIndicatorImage property on the UITabBar.
It's probably easiest to set this up using the appearance proxy in your AppDelegate:
[[UITabBar appearance] setSelectionIndicatorImage:yourImage];

If you are creating your UITabBarController in code, see the methods on UITabBarItem itself. Specifically, finishedSelectedImage and finishedUnselectedImage
If you are creating your UITabBarController in Interface Builder, look for the "Image" dropdown in the Attributes inspector, while you have the Tab Bar Item selected.

Hide a Tab bar Item in Xcode 4

I have a tab bar controller with a logginViewController, and I want to hide the tab bar item related to logginViewController and show a different tab bar item with a different ViewController
I'm working using Storyboard in a tab bar based app for iPhone
I've tried this solution but it doesn't work (Xcode don't allow me to use the "hide" option)
Please, any help on how I can do it in Xcode 4 will be great!
Thank you all
I like to suppose, that you subclass your TabBarController.
Via Protocol/Delegate you're able to work with data from your loggingViewController (maybe, a button get's clicked to hide the TabBarItem).
Implement that protocol to your TabBarController and so you're able to receive those protocol-methods to add/hide/delete the Items easily.
Try it out! Or further questions?

Custom Tab Bar with StoryBoard and Xcode 4.2

I've designed my iPhone app in Photoshop and now I have all the PNG files of my project.
I have Xcode 4.2 and iOS 5. What I would like to do is to customize the tab bar of my app. I've done the things on storyboard, but I do not know how to implement the PNG tab bar in the storyboard. I've written the source code of the customized tab bar, but when I run it in the simulator it doesn't display the ViewController which IS already done on the StoryBord.
So, the question is: how to attach the new tab bar design with Xcode Storyboard?
If you've subclassed the UITabBar and written code to customize it, you'll need to set the tab bar's class to your subclass in the identity inspector. Click the tab bar in your storyboard and set it's class:
Then it should begin using your custom code.
