iOS Toolbar Background Image

Is it possible to have a background image for a toolbar in iOS, specifically on the iPad?

I know that there is a doc that shows a backgroundImage property, but I can't manage to make it work.

Searching around, I have found other people having the same problem. Is this a known bug?

My code

var toolbar = Titanium.UI.iOS.createToolbar({
    items:[send, flexSpace, camera, flexSpace, cancel],
    top:0,
    backgroundImage: 'app/images/toolbar-bg.png',
    backgroundRepeat: true,
    borderTop:false,
    borderBottom:true
}); 
mainWindow.add(toolbar);

The toolbar shows up but the background is the standard steel-gray color.

How about add property { barColor: 'transparent' }

The background Image property does not work with toolbar and even in docs it says that it is just for views. like I have shown in the pic


@Sid, that doesn't mean it is only for views, that means it inherits it from the view class. The three properties above backgroundImage (in your image) say "view" but still work with the toolbar.
