iPhone - How to customize the UINavigationBar back button with my texture background

Question

I am able to customize the back button on my navigation bar, but in order for me to show the left arrow shape, do I need to create my customized image with the left arrow specifically?

Or there is a way to use the original back button with the arrow shape, while just apply my background image onto it?

Thanks in advance!

Set yourButton the customized image with the left arrow

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem =  [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:yourButton] autorelease];

You cannot modify the original BACK button.
