I'm just curious...on the status bar on the home screen and the lock screen, is there a way to change the time that is displayed??? I've been trying to find things on this both in SDK 3.2 and 4 but with no luck.
Thanks for any responses! I really appreciate them :)
No. You generally can't affect phone-wide features like that, nor does Apple allow you to confuse the user in such a manner.

I have an iPhone app that I would like to add some help hints to. I've seen this in other apps where you might hover over a text field or button and a popup appears indicating to the user what is supposed to be entered or done for that field or button.
Can anyone provide any suggestions or examples?
Thanks in advance.
iPhones don't have that kind of thing because you can't detect when somebody is hovering their finger over the screen, only when you touch it.
If you're looking for ways to explain things to the user, take a look at one of the design patterns libraries, such as the edu walkthroughs on Mobile UI Patterns.
The QuickLook/QLThumbnailImage.h cannot be found, even I added Quicklook.framework.
If it can be used Only on cocoa, what's the similar api on iOS to get a file's thumbnail, not icon?
Thanks.
Unfortunately, thumbnails are a DIY affair.
Fortunately though, there are a LOT of examples/tutorials on how to do it.
Start at the top and work your way down.
How to I make a red number indicators without any number inside it ? Or anyone have any ideas that help user know if the App is running on background or not ?
Thanks for helping me

The basic badge turns off when set to zero. Generally on iOS, apps are suspended as opposed to killed (though they can be configured to the latter, most aren't). I don't think the badge is what you want here.
Hope you all are fine and also in best of your moods.
I have a little problem kindly help me to get its solution.
my Problem is:
I am using vertical search in my application, using method sectionIndexTitlesForTableView() of tableview i get all Character listed from top to bottom at rightside.
But this letters have fixed color. i need to change this color. Since i newbie i don't know how to deal with it.
Please help to get solution.
Thanks, and sorry if you found me with wrong english.
There is no supported way to do this. Even if you had access to the index view (which you don't easily), it would not be possible because there is no NSAttributedString on iPhone, so you couldn't return color information.
The best way to achieve this is to turn off the tableview's index and generate your own from scratch, floating it over top of the tableview. But I would not recommend this approach for a new iPhone developer. It is best to spend some serious time learning to build UIs the way Apple intends you to. Once you understand Apple's UI and how it's implemented, then you can make informed decisions about whether you should break the UI rules.
I'd like to replicate the visual style of the Springboard's delete badge when you want to delete an application. I've gotten it pretty close, but it's not quite right, and I get the feeling that Apple isn't rendering these on the fly, but rather has a set image that they use.
I was wondering if anyone has done this before, or has such an image, or anything, really :)
I assume you're talking about the little x that is pinned to the top left of the App icon?
As far as I know, it's a PNG that is stored on the iPhone, but of course you have no legal way of getting at the filesystem.
You could always take a screenshot of the iPhone and hack it in Photoshop, but Apple mightn't like that.
