UIPageControl + UIAppearance

The docs for UIAppearance is extremely poor.

I want to customize the colours for a UIPageController, but I am unable to figure out which properties to set. When I go [UIPagecontrol appearance] set I get probably hundreds of options, so it's nearly impossible to figure out what's what.

I would assume it's possible with UIAppearance proxy, right?

Thank you

Solution

  • UIAppearance protocol was added to UIPageControl as of iOS 6.

    The properties you can customise are:

    • Dot tint colour
    • Highlighted dot tint colour

    This is an excerpt from UIPageControl.h, as you can see these UIAppearance additions are only available from iOS 6.

    @property(nonatomic,retain) UIColor *pageIndicatorTintColor NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(6_0) UI_APPEARANCE_SELECTOR;
@property(nonatomic,retain) UIColor *currentPageIndicatorTintColor NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(6_0) UI_APPEARANCE_SELECTOR;
