#Tint color ui image code#

The method itself looks pretty similar to this answer on StackOverflow, except it's not a category/extension on UIImage but on UIColor.

Thankfully, a colleague of mine encoutered this issue before and so, he had already written a workaround: He created a category on UIColor with a method that returns a UIImage with this very color and a size of 1x1. So: it's either everything color-y or everything image-y, but not both. And if I'd like to change the color of the track, I can't use a custom thumb image. In other words: If I'd like to set a custom thumb image, I have to provide images - not colors! - for the track. Similarly, setting the thumb tint color removes any custom thumb images associated with the slider. For example, setting a new minimum track image for any state clears any custom tint color you may have provided for minimum track images. Conflicting settings for track and thumb appearance are resolved in favor of the most recently set value. When customizing slider appearance with images or tint, use one option or the other, but not both. Use either a custom tint color or a custom image, but not both. Whatever, this paragraph explains the issues I had: I swear, it magically appeared! It wasn't there before! I looked at the documentation again, and suddenly, there was a paragraph with the headline 'Debugging Sliders'. Then I ran the app and sweet Jesus turned sour: Either the colors were applied or the thumb image looked good - but not both!

I wrote the code and was a bit proud of myself: Sweet Jesus, this thing turned out to be way easier than expected. The plan was to change the thumb image using setThumbImage:ForState: and to set minimumTrackTintColor and maximumTrackTintColor to white, just like this: Ha, lucky me! Exactly the thing I've been looking for! I opened Dash and found the 'Customizing the SliderвЂ™s Appearance'-part of UISlider. What I usually do first these days, when I have to work with something new, is to flick through Apple's documentation for something, if there's one. For me, it was the first time to work with UISlider. In the end, it should look pretty similar to the narrow Scollbar you know from UIScrollView:ДЄs this component has existed in the app before, we decided to just change the appearance of it. Part of this feature is a slightly customized UISlider.

We're working on a pretty useful - at least we hope so - feature right now.
