Answer 1

I recommend you taking a look at the following article. It explains how to customise a tab bar raising the main button.

Code:

UIButton* button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
button.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, buttonImage.size.width, buttonImage.size.height);
[button setBackgroundImage:buttonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button setBackgroundImage:highlightImage forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];

CGFloat heightDifference = buttonImage.size.height - self.tabBar.frame.size.height;
if (heightDifference < 0)
   button.center = self.tabBar.center;
else
{
 CGPoint center = self.tabBar.center;
 center.y = center.y - heightDifference/2.0;
 button.center = center;
}

[self.view addSubview:button];
