I ended up create this class due to the fact that I could not change the graphics on switch, well in truth you can but god it looked like a lot of work rather than spend ten minutes rolling your own.

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

// --------------------------------------------
// Custom switch object
// --------------------------------------------
@interface CustomSwitch : UIView
{
@private
UIImageView * background;
UIImageView * button;

UILabel * activeText;
UILabel * inactiveText;

CGPoint activeCenter;
CGPoint inactiveCenter;
Boolean active;

id	delegate;
SEL selector;

CGPoint touch;
}

@property                     Boolean    active;
@property (nonatomic, copy)   NSString * textActive;
@property (nonatomic, copy)   NSString * textInactive;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIFont *   font;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIColor *  textColor;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIColor *  textHighlightedColor;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIColor *  textShadowColor;
@property (nonatomic)         CGSize     textShadowOffset;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIImage *  backgroundImage;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIImage *  buttonImage;

- (void) setDelegate:(id)_delegate WithSelector:(SEL)_selector;

@end
// --------------------------------------------

This implementation could be improved by deriving the main class off a UIImageView this would save the need to create the background image object, saves on implementation and the need for adding another sub view. At the time I was not really worried about it and this is a first and only implementation I’ve done.
