hello,

is anyone aware of a way of adjusting the height of the tab bar on the iphone? Is this in breach of UI guidelines?

Thanks

There is no easy way to do this as it goes against the iPhone UI guidelines. The only way to achieve such a thing is to create a custom UITabBarController-equivalent class that lays out views with a custom Tab Bar.

I have done this, and it works to a degree. I set the frame of the tabBar item. This works, but there is still a black region behind the tabBar at the original height. Does anyone know what this view is?

Ok, the black bar may be there because I am loading from a nib file, then adjusting the height of the tab bar.

Any luck getting this into the appstore?
