Question

I would like to create a custom Info type button. For the halo effect that goes over the button Image, do I place an ImageView ontop? Or can i try to add the halo with setImage? I tried setImage, but it seems when u try to set the halo, which is larger than the actual button, the halo gets resized to the button’s bounds. I tried disabling clipsToBounds, autoresizing mask, and setting contentMode for the button..but none seem to work.

Neither. All you have to do is create a generic button (either with [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom] or just [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:…] and set its showsTouchOnHighlight property to YES.
