Overview

Glisten is a simple UIView extension that allows you to add a highlight on top of views. The recommended use case for Glisten is when you’re attempting to add a subtle, white highlight to a view with rounded corners and you’re not satisfied with just a straight line.

How does it look?

The effect is subtle, but notice how the highlight partially follows the rounded corners of our view:

The line width and color are configurable, so you can make it more or less dramatic. Glisten also works for straight-edged views though that use case isn’t particularly interesting.

Usage

Using Glisten

import Glisten

// Set the default glisten
view.glisten() 

// Or use the following to configure the highlight more precisely:
view.glisten(cornerRadius: 8.0, lineWidth: 2.0, color: UIColor.whiteColor())

Requirements

• iOS 8.0 or higher
