Is there an easy way to get the UIImage specs so that I can build a UISlider that looks just like a UISwitch just with different ON and OFF "text". I'm sorry if this is a real naive question.

Yeah the link Roger Dalal pointed me to gets you the project to build any sort of Switch with any text and any colors you may wish. It also faults to a standard looking switch. It's great!
