Possible to have background image for iPhone, iPad AND new iPhone???

I have a custom background image for my home screen which works well with button layout. At least it worked well until iPhone 5 and now everything is off set and nothing lines up. Has anyone tried changing the code so we can have a separate background image, and maybe even separate button sizes, specific for the new iPhone 5 screen?? THanks! Josh

Never mind, figured out a fix for now. My background image was a much larger resolution than it needed to be so it scaled differently for the new iPhone 5. However when I changed it to 320x480 it fit the old iPhone same as before and with the iPhone 5 it loaded near the top so works well with my buttons. Crisis averted... for now.

"Crisis averted" Loved this comment. Background art that's "absolute" in terms of alignment and position is tough, on any device. You may consider going with something abstract, like desktop wallpaper type graphics for your background. I say this because it's oftentimes much easier to "fit everything" with the position of the image isn't so important. Naturally your design will determine what the best route is. You have this figured out but for sure it's something to think about in the future.
