Can anyone tell me how can I change the standard back button with a new custom one which will be as following: 1) Like a left arrow : like this one: http://cssnerd.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Bildschirmfoto-2011-12-05-um-11.29.44.png 2) How can I replace the "back" text, so that it automatically shows the previous screen's nav title? I have only managed to change the "back" text with one of my own!

anyone?

Hi. Try this. I'm using it. Add the below method to your appdelegate.m file just near the end before (void)dealloc method. //////////////////////////////////////// -(void)customizeUI{ //set navbar button bg UIImage *navBarBtnBg = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"menubar-button.png"] resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 4, 0, 4)]; [[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setBackgroundImage:navBarBtnBg forState:UIControlStateNormal barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault]; //set back button bg UIImage *backBtn = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"back.png"] resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 14, 0, 4)]; [[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setBackButtonBackgroundImage:backBtn forState:UIControlStateNormal barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault]; } ///////////////////////////////////////// Then call the method in your didfinishloadingwithoptions at the beginning of the app delegate like this: [self customizeUI]; Of course you'll have to define and declare in the .h file and stuff, but you get the hang of it. Also don't forget to put in the images!
