UI7Kit is a GUI toolkit which can backport flat-style UIKit from iOS7 to iOS5/iOS6. Additionally, UI7Kit can also be used to patch legacy UIKit to UI7Kit in runtime.
NOTE: This project is not mature yet and is being refined. You may come across some bugs or unexpected behaviors for complex real-world product.
- Import flat-style iOS7 theme to work on iOS5/6 (Except status bar and blur effect).
- Patch the classic UIKit to UI7Kit in runtime. (Renew your legacy app just in a line!)
- 100% UIKit compatibility.
Case 1: Dynamic patch (Mostly recommended)
#import <UI7Kit/UI7Kit.h>
[UI7Kit patchIfNeeded]; // in main.m, before UIApplicationMain()
Case 2: Partial usage
: Use UI7 instead of UI. : ex) UI7NavigationController, instead of UINavigationController
Case 3: Partial dynamic patch
#import <UI7Kit/UI7Kit.h>
[UI7<class> patchIfNeeded]; // ex) [UI7TableView patch];
Example with current code. (0.7.4)
The phones on the left most column of the screenshot are iOS7, and the phones on the middle and right columns are iOS5 or iOS6.

Download source code
# Copy and paste this lines
git clone git://github.com/youknowone/UI7Kit.git
cd UI7Kit
pod install
open UI7Kit.xcworkspace # You should open xcwordspace
If you don't have cocoapods, visit http://www.cocoapods.org or follow steps below:
# At first, install Commoand Line Tools from XCode->Preferences->Downloads.
sudo gem install cocoapods # May takes long time
pod setup # Do not sudo here
Run test app now.
Update source code and cocoapods
git pull # if you edited code, 'git fetch origin && git rebase origin/master'
pod update
open UI7Kit.xcworkspace # You should open xcwordspace
If you have any problems with missing methods, pod update usually solves the problem.
If you don't have cocoapods, visit http://www.cocoapods.org or follow steps below:
# Install Commoand Line Tools in XCode->Preferences->Downloads first.
sudo gem install cocoapods
pod setup # Do not sudo here
If you have Podfile, add 'UI7Kit'. Or follow steps below:
# Copy and paste this lines
echo "platform :ios, '5.0'" > Podfile
echo "pod 'UI7Kit'" >> Podfile
pod install
open *.xcworkspace
This command will generate or edit YourProject.xcworkspace.
Open this instead of your original YourProject.xcodeproj.

I am not maintaining authors list manually, but I am carefully keeping git author to track this. See:
Follow the above for installing CocoaPods, but instead make your app Podfile look like this:
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7Slider'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7ActionSheet'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7AlertView'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7BarButtonItem'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7Button'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7Color'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7Font'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7Font'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7NavigationBar'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7NavigationController'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7PickerView'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7ProgressView'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7SegmentedControl'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7Slider'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7Stepper'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7TabBar'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7TabBarController'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7TabBarItem'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7TableView'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7TableViewCell'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7TextField'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7Toolbar'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7View'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7ViewController'
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7Switch/SevenSwitch' # use SevenSwitch (default)
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7Switch/KLSwitch' # use KLSwitch
pod 'UI7Kit/UI7Switch/MBSwitch' # use MBSwitch
