Can't resize UIView in IB

iphone xcode interface-builder

Probably something simple, but I can't figure why I cannot resize a UIView in a xib in Interface Builder.

I created a new view XIB in xcode and in the size inspector, the width and height are disabled and grayed out to 320 by 460. This is strange since I can change the size for the other two views (associated with the other two tab bar items).

I am not sure if this has anything to do with but I recently updated the sdk to 3.

Thanks!

I think that you cannot edit the size while simulating any user interface elements such as the status bar in Interface Builder. You could try turning the simulated elements off if any are enabled. Not exactly sure why this is, so would appreciate feedback from anyone who knows why exactly this is - there must be a good reason.
