Custom Icons for buttons menu

Hi, If we like to create custom buttons it is need to be in regular dimensions like: iPhone 57px iPad 72px iPhone 4 114px or we can crate custom dimensions? If we create custom our app will be rejected from app store? thx

You must adhear to Apples Guidelines- http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/userexperience/conceptual/mobilehig/IconsImages/IconsImages.html Also, I am fairly certain that due to the way iOS functions, you would not be able to create a custom icon with irregular dimensions and it will get cropped or stretched on the main menu screens.

Which Xcode are you using? It shouldn't make a difference, as BT saves each size in the BT_Images folder inthe project. You will want to replace these so that the images are not fuzzy for Retnia when you upload on the site.

size the icons to one of the standard sizes then make the image any shape you want - save it without a background as a png file and you should then see the irregular shaped icon on a transparent background.
