Has anyone done this? Im trying to figure this out

Totally doable. Takes a bit of adjusting after you download your project. Check your email, just sent you an attachment with some step-by-step info

checking this out thanks for the email..will let you know how it goes.

Can you pass that info on to GoNorthWest so he can put it up on his btugwiki.com site... May be usefull to other people down the line...

David sent me for say if you only want a logo. I found a way to replace the whole navbar with a image. However i am currently working to get any buttons to let the background image show through. I will publish howto when I figure it all out.

place the following code in BT_viewUtilities.m under //is the nav bar hidden? if([[BT_strings getStyleValueForScreen:theScreenData:@navBarStyle:@] isEqualToString:@hidden]){ [theViewController.navigationController.navigationBar setHidden:TRUE]; }else{ [theViewController.navigationController.navigationBar setHidden:FALSE]; } Code Start: if([theViewController.navigationController.navigationBar respondsToSelector:@selector(setBackgroundImage:forBarMetrics:)] ) { //iOS 5 new UINavigationBar custom background [theViewController.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@navbarv1.png] forBarMetrics: UIBarMetricsDefault]; }else{ [theViewController.navigationController.navigationBar insertSubview:[[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@navbarv1.png]] autorelease] atIndex:0]; } Code End: Once you place code and set navbarv1.png with you image file name then add image to xcode. this will create a background image for all nav bars in your app. Since the back button is a separate image itself you will change its color to suit your needs. also i believe this code ONLY works for iOS 5 and up.(i haven't tested pre iOS5)

@David - any chance this could be added as a setting in global themes?

I am wondering if anyone has tried using this since the new upgrade. I have tried to add it and I can't get it to work. If anyone know how to add a header image to the top navbar would love to know ~ could be this code does work and its me ( newbie) Thanks to any and all that can give me a hand fotodog13
