I've been redoing a bunch of the Table View, Table View Cell GUI graphics for
several of my projects in the effort to build a library of pixel perfect vector
and bitmap graphics for iOS (mainly 5). Essentially replicating Apple's source
graphics so that our team has a lovely set of pre-existing delicious graphic
assets that we can tint, shade, and tweak to our heart's content for our future
project requirements.
A weekish ago, in an email either here or the Xcode dev list, some one was
looking for a way to get to some of the Apple graphics for iOS and we were
reminded not to go grabbing content that we don't own.
Fair, but it's often a bit of a hunt to locate decent graphics for icons,
UIButtons, for Tab bar items, to get the proper replacement for a TVC cell's
checkmark or disclosure arrow and it seems like we should have access to these
as the basics to help us make decent apps without using crappy rounded rect
buttons with 1 pixel black borders.
In any case, while rethemeing the Table View Controller (, just about all the
graphics are easily tinted in the storyboard or a pList), but I had a little
difficulty getting to the section section header to get it to comply with our
corporate coloring, so I made a pixel perfect replacement in Illustrator.
Considering the lack of access to certain basic graphics, and the fact that
I've done quite a few of these, if anyone wants some free graphics that are
pretty exact to Apple's for iOS, I'll be glad to send off an AI, a PSD, or a
PNG.
Also, if you're a programmer struggling with icon graphics and you are trying
to make an icon not ugly, we found out that an iPad icon's rounded corner
radius for a 72 x 72 icon graphic is 12 pixels in radius (really 12.5).
In any case, what I have now that I can provide (for free) are the following
assets/info:
- iPad/iPhone Table View Section Header graphic
- various buttons and button caps (Left, right, middle) UIButtons (Illustrator)
Thick borders, thin borders, exact pixel width or as caps with a middle.
- corner radius reference for making your icons for all size iOS icons
- + and x graphics in the style of a TVC Detail Disclosure or a Mapkit pin
annotation call out
- The checkmark for a TVC cell!
- color values that look appealing on the device for alternating the coloring
of cells
Please email me offlist and any of these little bits would help any of you out.
Cheers
- Zav
