<p>I remember reading somewhere that you can provide your own icons without having them pass them through the automatic gloss effect when compiling an iphone app, but I can't remember how to do it, and not sure where it was in the docs. Anyone here remembers?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

Add the "UIPrerenderedIcon" to your info.plist file, change it to be a boolean and make it true. (In 2.0 of the iPhone OS you could also leave it as a string and use YES or NO, but that no longer works in 2.1.)
