title: How do I add a background Image for individual UITabItem in iOS5?
body: <p>I am very much new to iOS.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to create a customized Tab Bar for my app. I tried the following code </p>
  
  <pre><code>UIImage *tabBackground = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"image1"] 
                            resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];
  [[UITabBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:tabBackground];
  [[UITabBar appearance] setSelectionIndicatorImage:
  [UIImage imageNamed:@"image2"]];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This set the background for the Tab bar as wel as a different image for the selected tab. My problem is that I want to set different background images for the tabitem instead of just one (for the tab bar).</p>
  
  <p>I want to do this because I want to build a tab bar in the following way (I know its a bad drawing).                   </p>
  
  <pre><code>|===============/-----\===============|
  |       |      |       |      |      | 
  | item1 | item2| item3 | item4| item5|
  |====================================|
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The middle item is more bigger then the other items.</p>
  
  <p>How can I do this? </p>
