you can accomplish like

UISlider *mySlider;
mySlider = [[UISlider alloc]init];
/* Slider Customization */
[mySlider setThumbImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"yourimage.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
/*the above line will sets a custom image for your slider ball i.e; thumb image*/

/* the below code will make your slider line custom */
UIImage *sliderLeftTrackImage = [[UIImage imageNamed: @"lineImage.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth: 9 topCapHeight: 0];
UIImage *sliderRightTrackImage = [[UIImage imageNamed: @"lineImage.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth: 9 topCapHeight: 0];

[mySlider setMinimumTrackImage: sliderLeftTrackImage forState: UIControlStateNormal];
[mySlider setMaximumTrackImage: sliderRightTrackImage forState: UIControlStateNormal];
/* end of Slider Customization */
[mySlider release];

You will need to use stretchable images for the customization, and load them with the following methods:

setMinimumTrackImage:forState:
setMaximumTrackImage:forState:
setThumbImage:forState:

The minimum track image is the part on the left of the thumb (by default colored blue), and the maximum track image is on the right side.

Here is an example for the customization:

UIImage *minimumTrackImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"sliderMin.png"];
UIImage *stretchableMinimumTrackImage = [minimumTrackImage stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:6 topCapHeight:6];
[slider setMinimumTrackImage:stretchableMinimumTrackImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];

UIImage *maximumTrackImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"sliderMax.png"];
UIImage *stretchableMaximumTrackImage = [maximumTrackImage stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:6 topCapHeight:6];
[slider setMaximumTrackImage:stretchableMaximumTrackImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];

UIImage *handle = [UIImage imageNamed:@"sliderHandle.png"];

[slider setThumbImage:handle forState:UIControlStateNormal];

UISlider *objslider = [[UISlider alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(14, 249, 290, 22)];

UIImage *stetchLeftTrack = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"slider_fill.png"] stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:0.0 topCapHeight:0.0];

UIImage *stetchRightTrack = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"slider.png"]
                                 stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:0.0 topCapHeight:0.0];

[objslider setThumbImage: [UIImage imageNamed:@"slider_ball.png"]forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[objslider setMinimumTrackImage:stetchLeftTrack forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[objslider setMaximumTrackImage:stetchRightTrack forState:UIControlStateNormal];

objslider.minimumValue = 0.0;

objslider.maximumValue = 100.0;

objslider.continuous = YES;

objslider.value = 0.0;

[self.view addSubview:objslider];
