Titanium : how to make a default "defaultImage" for all elements?

Question

Is it possible to make a default "defaultImage" that will be used for all elements in my app (imageViews, coverflow, etc.) ? It will be great, instead of put "defaultImage" everywhere...

I've replaced the image called "photoDefault.png" in sdk_VERSION/iphone/modules/ui/, but I don't think it's the best trick...

Thank you

If you use the Alloy framework you can do it this way, just define a global View style in your app.tss:

"ImageView" : {
   defaultImage : 'yourDefaultImage.png'
}

All image views will have this as there default background image now, unless you override it in code.

If you don't want to use alloy, just do this instead:

Titanium.UI.createImageView = Ti.UI.createImageView = function(attributes) {
    attributes.defaultImage = 'yourDefaultImage.png';
    var self = Titanium.UI.createImageView(attributes);    
    return self;
}

This just reassigns the Titanium namespace to a different function, that wraps the createImageView with your custom default image.
