Well, i won't be able to help you completely help you but i can offer some good advice.

Head over to your app delegate implementation and then create a new method(name it to your preference).

something like:

-(void)customTabBar{ (insert the method below that i give you) }

then you can start using the appearance proxy and call it on UITabBar.

for example: [[UITabBar appearance] setBarTintColor:[[UIColor colorWithRed:1.0 green:.5 blue:0.0 alpha:1.0]];

those aren't the exact values for the color you want.. but you can play around with the values till you get the color of your choice.

As far as the images go, you can just add them to your project. (Drag and Drop) Then click on the UITabBar item and head over to the attributes inspector, and select the image for the corresponding button.
