New iOS 5 instance styling methods. Can also be set via global proxies. Applied to all new class instances when UIKit class instance added to view hierarchy Two Appearance API Proxy Methods to call on all the classes you wish to style at the point your app first launches: [[MyClass appearance] instanceMethod:someParameter]; eg. [[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:myImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault]; and [[MyClass appearance] appearanceWhenContainedIn:[ContainerClassA class],[ContainerClassB class],nil] instanceMethod:someParameter]; eg. [[UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:[UIToolbar class],nil] setTintColor:colour]; Tip 4:Subclass UIKit classes and use Appearance APIs ---------------------------------------------------- eg.
