icon menu - positioning and custom icons (iOS)

I want to create a menu that uses icons - I have it done now, but it's lined up to the top left of the page, when I want it to be 3 icons centred on the page. I also want to upload my own icons rather than use the ones you have available. Please advise.... Oh, and thanks for getting everything up and running so quickly - naturally, when I discovered the problem, I was in a meeting with my client an wanted to show them the app working ARGH!! Ah well, they were very understanding! Always the way, eh! BuzzTouch 1.5, iOS 4.3

Live Demo during outage - YIKES! Glad your client 'gets it' Icons, as in button menus, are tough to center (for lots of reasons). The challenge is the device size and the rotation juggling act. The button menu screen has tons of layout options and balancing the choices you make with the size of images is the tough part. Your custom images do not need to be uploaded. Just add them to your Xcode project and enter their file-names in the box in the control panel. You could also park them on your website and use a URL to the image. The best buttons use a background image with an icon on top (in my opinion). Centering them on the screen's going to be tough without some major kung-fu. See if you can get a design you like with the current options and re-post if you can't. I'll see what I can adjust on this end.
