Easily extend tabbar in Appcelerator Titanium mobile for iPhone app to allow any image to be used!

All available settings are shown in the example.

Example

// Create the tab group
var tabGroup = Titanium.UI.createTabGroup();

var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({ title:'Tab 1' });
var tab1 = Titanium.UI.createTab({ 
	icon: 'home.png',
	selectedIcon: 'home_s.png',
	title:'Window 1',
	custom: true, window:win1 
});
var win2 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({ title:'Tab 2'});
var tab2 = Titanium.UI.createTab({ 
	icon: 'home.png',
	title: 'Window 2',
	window:win2 
});
tabGroup.addTab(tab1);  
tabGroup.addTab(tab2);  

// open tab group
tabGroup.open();

// include the new class
Ti.include("customTabBar.js");

var ctb = new CustomTabBar({
	tabBar: tabGroup,
});

//
// This for loop is OPTIONAL it will allow you to access the new tab bar to hide and show it
// from within any tab via Ti.UI.currentTab.ctb.hide(); or Ti.UI.currentTab.ctb.show()
//
for(i=0; i<tabGroup.tabs.length; i++) {
	tabGroup.tabs[i].ctb = ctb;
}

setTimeout(function() {
	//int value is the speed that the tab bar will hide
	ctb.hide(400);
}, 1200);

setTimeout(function() {
	//int value is the speed that the tab bar will show
	ctb.show(0);
}, 2800);
