I would like to apply a texture to my iPhone app similar to the tab bar in GameCenter.app. Is there a good tutorial somewhere that explains this? I am hoping for a method that will translate easily to other controls as well. Thanks!

It really depends on the control - Apple implements their drawing and layout differently. – BoltClock Apr 20 '11 at 16:45

Particularly I'm interested in Buttons, TabBars, and ListView's. – Weston Apr 20 '11 at 16:47

A simple way to add texture for backgrounds is to use the built in colorWithPatternImage.
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"backgroundPattern"];
[self setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:image]];
If you have a toolbar you should be able to use your "Patternized UIView" with UIBarButtonItem, one of its initializers take a UIView.
