Question

Hey I have made a background in adobe photoshop which I would like to use on my UINavigationBar, but there doesn’t seem to be any pre made way to do so. I have looked to some articles regarding that, but most of them seemed a bit confusing and some looked very outdated. So could someone enlighten me, how to achieve this?

Thanks!

The supported way to do this is to create a custom subclass of UINavigationBar and implement drawRect: in that custom subclass to draw your image.

Then, in Interface Builder you should set up a nib with a UINavigationController in it – select the UINavigationBar instance in that nib and set its custom class to your subclass. When you load the UINavigationController from the nib, your UINavigationBar subclass will be loaded instead.
