Nice looking UIButton

I'm trying to make a nice looking UIButton. I'm not exactly sure 开发者_运维技巧what I mean by that, but something nicer than just a plain white looking rounded corner button with blue font. I can't seem to find anything online, so can anyone help? I want to do it all by programming (no XIB) and I am not an artist so I can't draw any custom images or anything like that.

Back in May of last year, Jeff LaMarche (of iPhone dev shop Martian Craft and co-author of several iPhone development books) put out a suite called GradientButtons that makes it easy to implement pretty, shiny, colorful buttons. I've used it in several projects and it's quite nice.

Here is a tutorial on how to make a shhiny button all in code, no image needed!

The Apple UI guidelines would suggest I think that you use the standard button unless you have good reason not to.
