UI7Kit
======

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.

Goal
----
- 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.

How to use
----------
Case 1: Dynamic patch (Mostly recommended)

    #import <UI7Kit/UI7Kit.h>
    [UI7Kit patchIfNeeded]; // in main.m, before UIApplicationMain()

Case 2: Partial usage

: Use UI7<class> instead of UI<class>.
: ex) UI7NavigationController, instead of UINavigationController

Case 3: Partial dynamic patch

    #import <UI7Kit/UI7Kit.h>
    [UI7<class> patchIfNeeded]; // ex) [UI7TableView patch];

Example
-------
Example with current code. (0.0.11)

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 problem with missing methods, 'pod update' usually solves it.


How to install to my project
----------------------------
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`.

Implementations
