UI7Kit is a GUI toolkit to backport flat-style UIKit from iOS7 to iOS5/iOS6. Additionally, UI7Kit can be used to patch legacy UIKit to UI7Kit in runtime.
NOTE: This project is very immature and in progressing. It is not a good idea that try this for complex real-world product. Reporting or contributing any missing feature would be appreciated.
- Implement flat-style iOS7 theme to iOS5/6 (Except status bar).
- Patch the classic UIKit to UI7Kit in runtime. (Renew your legacy app just in a line!)
- 100% UIKit compatibility.
Case 1: Dynamic patch (Mostly recommended)
#import <UI7Kit/UI7Kit.h>
UI7KitPatchAll(NO); // 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 <UI7Kit/UI7Kit.h>
[UI7<class> patch]; // ex) [UI7TableView patch];
Example with current code. (0.0.7)

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.
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 problem with missing methods, 'pod update' usually solves it.
NOTE: This project is very immature yet.
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" > 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.
- Hope to list here something ;)
