iPhone标签栏，带有自定义按钮和滚动视图

Question

I'm trying to get a tab bar effect not unlike Russell Quinn's Creative Review app . The tab bar swipes across, which I have figured out, but the tab bar style itself is unlike anything I've seen on the iPhone (though it looks so simple!).

It has square buttons with a space between, and each button has a select/active/inactive state. I'm having a hard time seeing how this can be a tab bar, but i don't know any other way. Can someone explain this?

EDIT:

thanks to yukla for the guidance, I got it working using uibutton . It was pretty basic and fairly embarrassing that I couldn't think this up... in my rootviewcontroller.m , I tossed this in after i synthesized homeBtn .

- (UIButton *) homeBtn {
    homeBtn = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom] retain];
    homeBtn.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 45);
    [homeBtn setTitle:@"Home" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [homeBtn setTitle:@"Home" forState:UIControlStateSelected];
    [homeBtn setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"normal.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [homeBtn setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"disabled.png"] forState:UIControlStateDisabled];
    [homeBtn setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"selected.png"] forState:UIControlStateSelected];
    [homeBtn setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"highlighted.png"] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
    [homeBtn setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"highlighted+selected.png"] forState:(UIControlStateHighlighted | UIControlStateSelected)];
    [homeBtn addTarget:self action:@selector(switchPages:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

    return homeBtn;
}

Just subclass it from UISwipeView and you're all set.

how about a scroll view with buttons instead of a tab bar?? you can have different image/background for normal/selected/disabled state. but then you'll have to write your own code for loading the different views.
