ZRChromaHashTextField

A sexy, secure visualization of password field input

The Chroma-Hash is originally a jQuery plugin which provided a dynamic visualization of text-field value using ambient color bars.

Now, it has been ported to Cappuccino framework. All you have to do is use ZRChromaHashTextField, and voila, now your password input field has such feature. :D

Demo

Seeing is believing.

Usage

@import "ZRChromaHashTextField.j"
var chromaField = [ZRChromaHashTextField textFieldWithStringValue:""
    placeholder:"ChromaHash-Powered Password TextField" width:600];
[chromaField sizeToFit];
[what_ever_the_view addSubview: chromaField];

It provides the static initializer textFieldWithStringValue:placeholder:width: just like the ordinary CPTextField. However, this is the only available static initializer for now.
