Simple app styling via Plist inspired by DB5 - Q Branch

What it is

Store colors, numbers, booleans, CGRects, CGPoints and CGSizes, timeintervals and strings into a Plist which can be used within the app. This enables to change the look and feel of an App with just one file.

Just have a look into the example project.

Load "theme" inside app

Call "configWithPlistName" inside your didFinishLaunchingWithOptions-method contained in the AppDelegate with the name of the Plist as argument.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    [MHFancyPants configWithPlistName:@"<NameOfPlistFile>"];

    return YES;
}

Access the values

+ (BOOL)boolForKey:(NSString *)key;
+ (NSString *)stringForKey:(NSString *)key;
+ (NSInteger)integerForKey:(NSString *)key;
+ (CGFloat)floatForKey:(NSString *)key;
+ (NSTimeInterval)timeIntervalForKey:(NSString *)key;
+ (UIColor *)colorForKey:(NSString *)key;
+ (CGPoint)pointForKey:(NSString *)key;
+ (CGSize)sizeForKey:(NSString *)key;
+ (CGRect)rectForKey:(NSString *)key;
+ (UIEdgeInsets)edgeInsetsForKey:(NSString *)key;

Define the values

Within a Plist file define:

• bool as Boolean
• string as String
• integer as Number
• float as Number
• timeInterval as Number
• color as String (hex-value without the '#')
• CGPoint as a dictionary containing two values (named x and y) as Number
• CGSize as a dictionary containing two values (named width and height) as Number
• CGRecht as a dictionary containing four values (x,y,width and height) as Number
• UIEdgeInsets as a dictionary containing four values (top, left, bottom and right) as Number
