I've successfully implemented a custom navigation bar using dual images - one for portrait and one for landscape. The images work great, but I can't get them to automatically switch upon rotation. Only clicking certain tabs will trigger the change. Would love some help if anyone has any suggestions. I put a screencast up so you can see exactly the issue. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNU1L1j2Rmo I've tried a zillion different combinations in BT_rotatingTabBarController.m, BT_rotatingNavController.m, BT_viewUtilities.m and BT_viewController.m but nothing is working. Would greatly appreciate any and all help to figure this out. Thanks.

MGoblue Looks slick, subscribing and crossing fingers one of the ninjas jump in.

pls show your tutorial how can do that hehe

@Black White - Tutorials will be forthcoming. I have several cool features in this app including that nav bar. Once I get everything perfected I'll work up tutorials. Some of the features: ★ Socialize Integration - share/like/comment articles from rss feed and photos from flickr photo gallery. ★ Share quiz results to Facebook and Twitter. ★ Game Center integration ★ Custom Nav Bar ★ Custom Tab Bar with enlarged center tab plus a few more. Also, I've got an image emailer plugin working well.

Very interesting, following. Fred

Must have left my manners in the other room... the app is stunning. Truly shows what a UofM fan you are. No missing that! Kudos. Cheryl

Hi MGoBlue. I probably have a solution for you here. It works for me after 30 min laborate. I found some code now after a little googling. You may experiment with the size to get your image right. In BT_viewUtilities.m about line 270. you now that! :) if([theViewController.navigationController.navigationBar respondsToSelector:@selector(setBackgroundImage:forBarMetrics:)] ) { //iOS 5 new UINavigationBar custom background [theViewController.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"navbarv1.png"] forBarMetrics: UIBarMetricsDefault]; //uncomment this line /* }else{ [theViewController.navigationController.navigationBar insertSubview:[[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"navbarv1.png"]] autorelease] atIndex:0]; } /* // Create resizable images UIImage *gradientImage44 = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"navbarv1.png"] resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -180, 0, 0)]; UIImage *gradientImage32 = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"navbarv1.png"] resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -180, 0, 0)]; // Set the background image for *all* UINavigationBars [[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:gradientImage44 forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault]; [[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:gradientImage32 forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsLandscapePhone]; } Tell me if you get it to work. //Macki

Looks really nice except for all that nasty Maze and Blue. LOL. Re-decorate it with some real Blue and Gold. GO IRISH!!!! or maybe make it over with some Purple Pride. GO CATS! 64 Days until kickoff! and a big Sunday night game this year MI/ND. can't wait. it's always a bittersweet ending to summer, the start of College Football! -- are those custom nav/tab bars just standard cocoa controls? i've been looking at a a few of them and tinkering a bit. some success with the tab bar. it's tricky to keep the BT Nav controllers in place. i've blown it up before in my plug-in testing. anxious to see how you managed navagation with a custom controller to BT screens. always look forward to any notes/tips/tutus you post. your guides and instructions are just excellent.

@ATRAIN53 - Looking forward to the game too. I have a Notre Dame app in the app store (actually a couple dozen schools) and they'll all get these updates once I get them worked out. @Mackimack - Thanks for the code. It's pretty similar to what I've been working with. I think my problem is the static size image. I'm using that to keep the logo centered. With your code suggestion I still get the same problem of needing to click on a tab to get the changed navbar to occur. I'll keep experimenting. @Cheryl - Thanks!

@MGoBlue I do not have a app with custom navbar with rotation. So I nade a test app to see if I culd find a solution. I got the same problem as you did when I change tabs, the image was shown several times. When I put in my code that worked on the image, only showed one image in navbar. I do not now of you use two image for the navbar a navbar.png and [email protected]? I referring only To navbar.png.

Oh I forgot. If you made a 320px x 44px transparent png and put your logo in the center of the image. Then you do an same 640px x 88px. Do you not think it would work??

Hello, everyone Subscribing to this. I have a custom navbar that is being cut when changing orientation from portrait to landscape (this not happen when the application is in landscape from the previous screen, only when I change orientation). I've tried the code above proposed by Mackimack, but it didn't solved my problem... I'd be the most grateful if someone could help, Cheers! dryFrog
