You can customize your own UIView based on your needs. You can reduce alpha content for the view to get the transparent effect. You can add anything to your view.

How do I lock text fields and images in place in ios?

When I am designing the interface everything looks fine.But when I run the project some text fields move and get mixed with other text fields.Some images go down.How do I lock everything in place ,so that the gui is exactly the way I designed it
hi iOsBody there are some layout problem is bellow Tips you can set properly.
in your issue you have use UINavigationController in every viewController but when you set XIB layout you can not add this 45px UInavigationBar space in XIB that's why you facing this issue.
while you use this in ios6 You can also use AutoLayout but its some time getting Creshed in ios5 or bellow ios
So please check proparly x,y and also put calculate px of UInavigationBar or statusbar while create Interface.
You can fix property of Textfield & image. So, it'll not move anywhere & stay at their own places.
Hopefully, it will help you.
Thanks.
If your view using AutoLayout functionality than uncheck it.
see the option Use AutoLayout in your main view .
1)this will help u auto size the components

Safari Reader font-size control like popover

Safari has a nice popover that is used for controlling the font size. I'm talking about that one:
It's pretty nice, and my question is - how to implement something exactly like this?
Thank you!
There are many projects in github about popoverview, such as this https://github.com/takashisite/TSPopover
One way to implement this is to add a transparent view that takes up the whole screen so that when I touch outside the popover content, it'll dismiss. And the rest you need to do is just add some subviews to your transparent view.
Simple Really, If you want to use a popover then you can see this code PopOver Link
Or you can simply create a UIView containing 2 buttons , let this UIView rollout an animation whenever the UIButton on the bar is clicked and so on and so forth. Let me know for further queries :)

Adding a background image to UIBarButton Item using interface builder - Beginner

I added a UIToolBar from Interface builder, then dragged 2 UIBarButtonItem's. Now i need to add an image to it. So i selected the barButtonItem and selected the image using Interfacebuilder.
I only get a White image, with no curvy edge. My image is as follows. I don't see that image, but instead i see a white rectangle.
How do i prevent this. Can someone tell me whats wrong, and provide me with a working solution.
my bar button
If you go to iOS Human Interface Guidelines you will see the specifications for icons and buttons. This is my experience, for the best result you'd better create a specific icon (image) for UIBarButtonItem. If you still want to use an image, that doesn't follow the UIBarButtonItem guide, my approach is:
Add a generic UIButton instance to your view. Drag it from the list on the right to the view, not to the ToolBar or navBar.
Customize it with the image, i.e. from the Inspector, set the image or background image, or set it to custom style, bordered, etc.
Drag it to the toolBar, and XCode will adjust it. Again, it does not always guarantee the best result, but it does what you want.
I hope it helps.
You should drag an "Image View" on to your layout and specify the image in that - that worked for me, but I'm no xcode guru.
Hope that helps, Paul

Changing Navigation Bar of UIImagePickerController

I am trying (and failing) to change the navigation bar of the UIImagePickerController .
self.pickerController.navigationBar = myCustomBar;
doesn't work, since navigationBar is readonly.
I still want to change the buttons (and colors) on the default "cameraControls" bar.
Do you know of any way to do that?
Thanks!
=============
Ok.. Thanks for the quick answers! So let me detail a little bit here...
For my application I only need the camera feed, and then I want to add my own buttons to a controls bar. I am not interested in photos (not yet anyways). Do you think it's best that I drop the UIImagePicker and just search for something else?
Thanks a lot!
You should consider hiding the original camera controls using the showsCameraControls and set your own controls using a cameraOverlayView. Both are properties of UIImagePickerController.
You might try searching the subview tree of the UIImagePickerController, finding the camera controls bar and hiding that. Then add a new subview with your controls to replace it.

How do I show a small option view on clicking bar button item?

I have a requirement to pop up a small option-view on clicking bar button item, similar to this image.
How can I achieve this? Any tutorial or link is highly appreciated.
I'm not sure this is available on iPhone but I know that on iPad UIPopoverController it looks so.
