Hi Jason,

I've quadruple checked the casing and spelling of the file names, and they
definitely match, and the path is right (I use the same path elsewhere in
this view, and those graphics display just fine). 

How do I look inside my app bundle to verify that the images are there? 

So here's something else that's interesting. I changed the image for one of
the bar button items to an image file that is being displayed correctly on
the page elsewhere (it's a PNG with a transparent background). When used for
a bar button item, that image doesn't display either, but there's a grey
shape where the bar button is supposed to be in the shape of that graphic
(minus the transparent background). It's like the app is finding the graphic
file and placing it there, but it's all grey. Maybe the problem isn't that
the app isn't finding the images, it's that it's displaying them in a funky
fashion for some reason?
