UI7Kit

======



UI7Kit is a GUI toolkit which can backport flat-style UIKit from iOS7 to iOS5/iOS6. Additionally, UI7Kit can also be used to patch legacy UIKit to UI7Kit in runtime.



NOTE: This project is not mature yet and is being refined. You may come across some bugs or unexpected behaviors for complex real-world product.



Goal

----

- Import flat-style iOS7 theme to work on iOS5/6 (Except status bar and blur effect).

- Patch the classic UIKit to UI7Kit in runtime. (Renew your legacy app just in a line!)

- 100% UIKit compatibility.



How to use

----------



Case 1: Dynamic patch (Mostly recommended)



    #import 

    [UI7Kit patchIfNeeded]; // in main.m, before UIApplicationMain()



Case 2: Partial usage



: Use UI7 instead of UI.

: ex) UI7NavigationController, instead of UINavigationController



Case 3: Partial dynamic patch



    #import 

    [UI7 patchIfNeeded]; // ex) [UI7TableView patch];



Global tint color (Optional)



    [[UI7Kit kit] setTintColor:]



NOTE: See below to install or setup your projects.



Example

-------

Example with current code. (0.9.6)



The phones on the left most column of the screenshot are iOS7, and the phones on the middle and right columns are iOS5 or iOS6.

How to run test app

-------------------

Download source code



    # Copy and paste this lines

    git clone git://github.com/youknowone/UI7Kit.git

    cd UI7Kit

    pod install

    open UI7Kit.xcworkspace # You should open xcwordspace



If you don't have cocoapods, visit http://www.cocoapods.org or follow steps below:



    # At first, install Commoand Line Tools from XCode->Preferences->Downloads.

    sudo gem install cocoapods # May takes long time

    pod setup # Do not sudo here



Run test app now.



How to update

-------------

Update source code and cocoapods



    git pull # if you edited code, 'git fetch origin && git rebase origin/master'

    pod update

    open UI7Kit.xcworkspace # You should open xcwordspace



If you have any problems with missing methods, `pod update` usually solves the problem.



How to install to my project

----------------------------



If you don't have cocoapods, visit http://www.cocoapods.org or follow steps below:



    # Install Commoand Line Tools in XCode->Preferences->Downloads first.

    sudo gem install cocoapods

    pod setup # Do not sudo here



If you have Podfile, add 'UI7Kit'. Or follow steps below:



    # Copy and paste this lines

    echo "platform :ios, '5.0'" > Podfile

    echo "pod 'UI7Kit'" >> Podfile

    pod install

    open *.xcworkspace



This command will generate or edit `YourProject.xcworkspace`.

Open this instead of your original `YourProject.xcodeproj`.
