Introduction

The Beginning Of The Story

As the project requirement, we need to add night mode to our app 节操精选. It's not as simple as changing brightness or alpha only on the top-level view. In fact, it need a entirely new interface: different colors, different alpha, different image cuts. More accurately, so called "night mode" is themes/skinning feature that can switch between a bright theme and a dark theme.

How to achieve this? Maybe we can set a global variable represents current selected theme, use different background colors or different image cuts based on the variable during the controllers initialization. But how to deal with the views that have been initialized? Yes, maybe you think we can use notification to change their colors or image cuts. Thought here, you should premonition that your controllers will be filled up with notification register/unregister, if...else and UI updating codes. Worse, if you forget to unregister the notifications app may crash.

After some consideration, we put forward higher requirements on the task: create a simple and reusable themes/skinning framework, here as you see.

Goals

Make SwiftTheme a simple, powerful, high-performance, extensible themes/skinning framework. Provide a unified solution for iOS.

Demos

Index Mode

Vary background color of UIView according to the theme setting?

view.theme_backgroundColor = ThemeColorPicker(colors: "#FFF", "#000")

Vary text color of UILable and UIButton?

label.theme_textColor = ThemeColorPicker(colors: "#000", "#FFF")
button.theme_setTitleColor(ThemeColorPicker(colors: "#000", "#FFF"), forState: .Normal)

Vary image of UIImageView?

imageView.theme_image = ThemeImagePicker(names: "day", "night")

No problem! A miracle happens after you executing the one line of code below!

// these numbers represent the parameters' index. 
// eg. "ThemeColorPicker(colors: "#000", "#FFF")", index 0 represents "#000", index 1 represents "#FFF"
ThemeManager.setTheme(index: isNight ? 1 : 0)

Then, get the current theme index.

ThemeManager.currentThemeIndex	// Readonly

Index mode is a fast way for the situation: a few themes, but not many, no need to download more new themes.

Plist Mode

You may want to make you app download and install an indefinite number of themes. To fulfill this requirement, we provide the plist mode. Simply put, you write the configurations in a plist file, such as colors, image cuts and so on. Then, you can use their keys in the logic code. So, the plist file and the resource files it used constitute a theme package.

Usage demo of plist mode.

view.theme_backgroundColor = ThemeColorPicker(keyPath: "Global.backgroundColor")
imageView.theme_image = ThemeImagePicker(keyPath: "SelectedThemeCell.iconImage")

Similar with the index mode. Only the specific parameters become keys. And as such, we give it the extension ability.

The plist file name is the first paramter of the switching method. In this example, the plist file and other resource files are in the application bundle. It's also ok if they are in sandbox.

ThemeManager.setTheme(plistName: "Red", path: .MainBundle)

plist mode allow you install more themes without modifying logic code. So, you can add the feature that, downloading and installing themes for your app.

Objective-C

Fully compatible with Objective-C, usage demo:

lbl.theme_backgroundColor = [ThemeColorPicker pickerWithColors:@[@"#FAF9F9", @"#E2E2E2"]];

Features

• Written in Swift
• Fully compatible with Objective-C
• Based on runtime
• Simple integration
• Extension property prefix with "theme_*", friendly with IDE auto-completion
• Support UIAppearance
• Index mode, fast integration
• Plist mode, extend infinite themes
• Friendly error logs
• Strongly typed ThemePicker, detect errors during compilling
• Complete demos

Installation

Swift code is built as dynamic framework by CocoaPods, Carthage and the project itself, while dynamic frameworks works on iOS8+

If you want it work on iOS7, you should copy the source files into you project

CocoaPods

pod 'SwiftTheme'
use_frameworks!

Carthage

github "jiecao-fm/SwiftTheme"

Framework

Build the source project, drop the SwiftTheme.framework into your project

Source files（iOS7）

Copy all the files in "Source" folder into your project

Documents

Note：① usage of index mode ② usage of plist mode

Basic Usage

Configurate Appearance

SwiftTheme provide new properties for views, they all beigin with theme_. Such as theme_backgroundColor corresponds backgroundColor.

①
view.theme_backgroundColor = ThemeColorPicker(colors: "#FFF", "#000")
view.theme_image = ThemeImagePicker(names: "day", "night")
②
view.theme_backgroundColor = ThemeColorPicker(keyPath: "SomeColorKeyPath")
view.theme_image = ThemeImagePicker(keyPath: "SomeImageKeyPath")

Different type of properties receive different type of Pickers. Thus, IDE will warn you if you pass a wrong parameter.

Switch Themes

When you switch themes, all the theme_ properties you set will update with animation. Usage:

①
ThemeManager.setTheme(index: 0) // ThemePickers will use the first parameter, eg. "#FFF" "day"
ThemeManager.setTheme(index: 1) // ThemePickers will use the second parameter, eg. "#000" "night"
②
// use "day.plist" in the appllication bundle as the theme configuration file. 
// In this mode, SwiftTheme will find the resource files in the appllication bundle.
ThemeManager.setTheme(plistName: "day", path: .MainBundle)
// use "night.plist" in the sandbox as the theme configuration file, "someURL" is its file path. 
// In this mode, SwiftTheme will find the resource files in the same path.
ThemeManager.setTheme(plistName: "night", path: .Sandbox(someURL))
// use a dictionary as the theme configuration, but find resource files in the sandbox.(Not recommend)
ThemeManager.setTheme(dict: dict, path: .Sandbox(someURL))

Custom Behaviors

SwiftTheme posts a notification named ThemeUpdateNotification when theme changes, you can observe this notification anywhere and do whatever you want:

NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(
	self, 
	selector: #selector(doSomethingMethod),
	name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: ThemeUpdateNotification), 
	object: nil
)

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(doSomethingMethod) name:@"ThemeUpdateNotification" object:nil];

Download this project and find more. There are two demo targets:

• Demo shows how to use index mode and how to save the last selection of themes and other general usages.
• PlistDemo shows how to use plist mode and how to download themes that packaged in zip files.

FAQ

1. Why theme_setStatusBarStyle doesn't work as expected?

   You will need to Info.plist in View Controller-based status bar appearence set to NO.

2. Can I manually cancel the theme of a property?

   Sure, make nil. example: view.theme_backgroundColor = nil.
