How to resize UIBarButtonItem in code

I tried setting the size of the UIBarButtonItem using IB, but in vain

enter image description here

I want to reduce the width & increase the height. How do I do it? Any pointers please? Setting the width attribute (shown in the figure above) doesn't seem to alter anything. I tried setting it programmatically too like this:

UIBarButtonItem *historyButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
                                  initWithTitle:@"History" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(history:)];
historyButton.width = 3.0;

this too doesn't alter anything.

This is the bar-button (the one in red) that am trying to fix:

You need to resize the frame of the UIBarButtonIte

Sth like : 

historyButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, buttonImage.size.width, buttonImage.size.height);

You can see it in this tutorial :

    Thanks for your response. But, There isn't any 'frame' attribute for the button – Jean May 16 '12 at 01:47

    That's why i link the tutorial, check it part 4, start to create a sample button (change his frame, picture ...) and then init your UIBarButton with customview UIBarButtonItem *CustomBarButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView:MyVCustomWithCustomFrame]; – Damien Locque May 16 '12 at 07:58
