It's a screen shot from new Mobile HIG(Human Interface Guidelines). From this, you can get the size of the tabbar icon. It is approximate only. But you can have this as a reference and calculate the width depend on the number of items. For your 5 items,

In iPad standard, its 30 * 5 = 150 px

In iPad retina, its 60 * 5 = 300 px

  • excuse me but I'm not a idiot :D - i know the HIG. But if you set items with 60x60 you know it loooks very ugly. So my question was how i have to set the tabbar images to show it, maybe over the whole width or maybe variabel...i will try it out now on myself... – kurtanamo Nov 20 '12 at 08:36
  • No offense always.You asked a question. And I gave you what you asked for. Thats it. Ok lets come to your point. You said its ugly. Are you saying the graphics is ugly?? If you can little more specific. For tabbar icon design we need to have an image in the center of the image and other portions should be look as transparent. So that it will look good. Why only 60 x 60 is ugly anyway?? – Dinesh Raja Nov 20 '12 at 17:41
