I would like to create a custom UITabBarItem with a Icon-image thats size is a little bit bigger than usual. The thing is I don't want to use a full replace of the background image because i would like to have the translucent effect of the TabBar.
So i would like to know 2 things:
What sizes are now correct for the new iOS7 UITabBarItems and their icons
How do I modify the size of the icon to display a bigger icon, because i dont want to show a title. Without the title its kinda small. In mind to keep the translucent effect displaying.
Any help or suggestions would be great!
Regardless of the icon’s visual style, create a toolbar or navigation bar icon in the following sizes:
About 44 x 44 pixels
About 22 x 22 pixels (standard resolution)
Regardless of the icon’s visual style, create a tab bar icon in the following sizes:
About 50 x 50 pixels (96 x 64 pixels maximum)
About 25 x 25 pixels (48 x 32 pixels maximum) for standard resolution
