UIToolbar UIToolbarPositionBottom example.

By subclassing UIToolBar and overriding drawRect, you eliminate some of UIToolBar's own drawing. Why not use the appearance api to set a background image:

[[UIToolbar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"UIToolBar_Background.png"]
                        forToolbarPosition:UIToolbarPositionBottom
                                barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];

Example of [UIToolbar UIToolbarPositionBottom].

[_bottomToolbar setBackgroundImage:nil
                forToolbarPosition:UIToolbarPositionBottom
                        barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[self.view addSubview:_bottomToolbar];

              barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
 [self.view addSubview:tool];
