Answer 1

You may find it difficult to adjust the default button. However you can use any view you want with a custom button.

Here's an article on creating views with rounded corners: http://iphonedevelopment.blogspot.com/2008/11/creating-transparent-uiviews-rounded.html

You also may look at a program called Opacity, which allows you to create a a lot of customized standard iOS interface art/buttons.

Rounded rect button's color can be changed to any color with the background color property in IB as well as through coding, but can not change its color to transparent color easily. For that, you better use a custom button with either rounded image or set layer as demonstrated in the example and don't forget to add Quartz Core framework in you project as well as to import it in your class.

UIBUtton *myBtn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIbuttonTypeCustom];
myBtn.frame = frame;    //your desired size
myBtn.clipsToBounds = YES;
myBtn.layer.cornerRadius = 5.0f;
[self.view addSubView:myBtn];

Answer 3

UIButton *tagButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];

and have a look at this... that my do the trick.. i did it for mine.

You can use a custom UIButton with custom images for backgroundimage for each state. Just make the different states of your rounded button in photoshop for example.
